Based on total wins alone, this is the 6th best season in Gamecock basketball history

starting to get into rare air -

more than the W/L totals - I can't recall a season where Carolina held the lead with clock time as much as this team - ALA & AUB games the only two where USC didn't play with the lead for close to or over 30 minutes/game at any point -

were it not for the double-digit 2H leads that have slipped away in 3 of the 5 total losses - this season would be pushing McGuire's 1969-70 nationally ranked #3 team that went 14-0 in the ACC and played with an injured Roche in the CG v NCSU - and yes Bobby Cremins was absolutely fouled on a non-call at mid-court which led to the game winning bucket for NCSU in double OT -

hold your nose through some of this recap - as it's from the wolfpack perspective - but it gives a pretty vivid account of March 7 1970 -
