I hate to be a downer, but was this not the most South Carolina thing ever? Laying an egg.

Bama has a solid RPI in the 60-65 range.

Last year we were losing to teams that finished in the bottom 4 of the league on the road like UT, State and Mizzou (RPI 200+ )

Combine those losses with only one true quality win (@aTm), getting beat by UGA three times and a metric frick ton of upsets in the mid-major conference tourney games that allowed teams to steal bids and it kept us out of the tourney.

One 4 OT loss to a decent conference foe is not gonna keep us out of the tourney and is not an indication that a late season collapse is imminent.
