South Carolina's progress in the NCAA Tournament The South Carolina Gamecocks’ upset win against the Duke Blue Devils resulted in the best ever March Madness tournament run in the school’s history. To start off their winning streak, South Carolina, who were ranked as the 7th seed in the East division, managed to beat Marquette, who were ranked as the 10th seed in the round of 64, by 20 points. This marked the first win by the program since 1973 in the NCAA tournament. Then, after beating Duke in the round of 32, South Carolina continued their impressive post-season run by dominating the 3rd seed Baylor in the Sweet Sixteen. A close win against 4th ranked Florida in the Elite Eight ensured that the Gamecocks were able to clinch the East division of the NCAA tournament and make the trip to Phoenix, again for the first time in the school’s history. Unfortunately, South Carolina’s cinderella run in the tournament was put to an end by the top-ranked Gonzaga in the Final Four in a close game where the Gamecocks eventually lost by 4 points. The magical run of the South Carolina men’s basketball team in the postseason was made even more special by the fact that the women’s basketball team was also making a magical run. They eventually won the school’s first championship in the 2017 NCAA Tournament, after beating Mississippi State in the final.
