South Carolina's resume raises red flags regarding its NCAA tournament viability. Although they've secured some victories against lower-ranked teams, their losses to Indiana, Xavier, and even a tight win against a mid-tier Virginia Tech indicate challenges in competing against stronger opponents. The upcoming schedule is loaded with formidable teams, such as Alabama and Auburn, where they will need to capitalize on opportunities to secure signature wins. Without more impactful performances in these critical matchups, their chances of making it to the tournament diminish significantly.
