We’ve reached the end of the regular season for all major conferences, and if you — like me — thought that was going to bring more clarity about the hierarchy within college basketball, those hopes have not come to fruition. The seeding jumble is as chaotic as ever, and on a night-to-night basis, only South Carolina can reliably be counted upon to emerge with a victory.
How about those Gamecocks? They completed a second consecutive undefeated regular season, and the year before that featured only one regular-season defeat. They have cycled through multiple starting lineups over the past few weeks, experimenting with different combinations of their nine-player rotation, and have still been as dominant as ever. They have a target on their back every night as opponents try to be the first to slay the giant, and they continue to excel, time and time again.
Oh, and they managed to facilitate a reunion between Kamilla Cardoso and her mom and sister, as she was able to play in front of them for the first time in the U.S. since immigrating as a teenager.

Even though South Carolina didn’t win the national title in 2023, it’s hard to look back…
