South Carolina men’s basketball receives one vote in AP Top 25
The Associated Press Top 25 continued to ignore South Carolina despite the Gamecocks finishing the regular season 24-7.
The Gamecocks received one vote this week, one more than they had last week. They lost to Georgia but beat Arkansas.
USC also remained out of the USA Today/coaches’ Top 25. The Gamecocks received five votes in that poll, down from 16 last week.
The Gamecocks play the Georgia-Mississippi State winner at approximately 9:30 p.m. on Friday at the SEC tournament.
