I don't. I think the SEC media was just lazy and didn't want to do any research into South Carolina basketball when they made their picks.
The USA Today poll is at least a little closer to where SC should probably be picked in preseason.
I get that it is preseason, but I don't think I've ever seen a major conference team that made it to the Final Four (especially one of only a few SEC teams to ever make it) get so little respect the following year.
The fact that Chris Silva didn't even make a preseason all-SEC team is a joke.

They don't do research outside of looking at the latest recruiting classes and blue bloods.

This.
Silva will be an absolute beast this year
Kotsar will be vastly improved. We will look like a different team but I think we will be better on offense but noticeably worse on D. If Dozier hadn't been an idiot and turned pro, this could be a top 15 team

I give South Carolina a lot of props for making the final four (I hope we make it there one day), but how can you not understand the skepticism? Y'all were a great defensive team with one and sometimes 2 scorers and you got hot in the tournament. You lost both of those guys. You don't have a recent history of success outside of last season. Your incoming class was ranked 63rd by 247 composite. The best player you landed was ranked 151. The other 4 were all outside of the top 300 prospects. Show me another final four team that had the same question marks South Carolina has.
I get that you believe in the guys coming back and in your coach, but there is plenty of reasons for skepticism.
