Message: [QUOTE="Sched234, post: 3856243, member: 9614"] With all respect to Tennessee, a quality team through and through, this was probably SC’s first “bad” loss of the year. I can accept falling to NC State early on and to UConn on the road. What surprises me most is the blown 16-point lead. When SC does lose games, it’s usually a grinder of sorts. I didn’t expect to see this team collapse and surrender a lead of that magnitude. It’s going to be difficult for SC to hang onto a 1-seed with three losses. They’d have to win out, and that’s going to involve two more tough SEC games and the gauntlet that is the conference tourney. I’m disappointed, but I don’t believe in making excuses when you just flat-out get beat. And to be honest, this year feels so odd anyways that I’m more easily recognizing there’s more to the times than basketball. [/QUOTE]
