The Gamecocks begin play in the NCAA Regionals Friday night by taking on the Citadel at Sarge Frye Field. Those two teams are joined in the regional by Central Florida and Princeton. USC will work as the number two seed. They matched their best SEC tournament run ever by winning three games and coming within one victory of making it to the finals. It's very important when you're playing a host school.
Emotions are high.
We're going to get the opportunity to face Kip Bouknight. We're looking forward to that I guess you could say, jokingly. But the Citadel's not backing down, either. The team won the Southern Conference tournament, and boast a 38-22 record overall. Even though they lost to USC twice during the regular season, they remain optimistic they'll knock off USC, and come out the winner of the regional.
