South Carolina's Final Four Run

[@willwigginton1075]

I'm a die hard louisville fan but this is one of my all time favorite basketball runs by a team great group to watch

[@dustedrocks_5655]

I’m a Maryland fan, but this was one of the greatest Cinderella runs in my opinion

[@persistentlypathetic6820]

Up there with Loyola Chicago, Dayton and Wichita State

[@drewarthur2169]

Yeah no kidding, as a South Carolina Fan it’s a real shame that Thornwell got sick before playing Gonzaga, had he been 100% I think we would have won

[@StephenVallejo]

@@drewarthur2169Clemson fan and I agree. This is one my favorite runs bc of how beautifully they played as a team even though it’s our rival. A carolina carolina final would’ve been amazing to watch

[@bennettblackmon2858]

@@StephenVallejo 🤝. Preciate the love from a Clemson fan

[@stack5605]

I am a giant Sindarius Thornwell fan because of this season and final 4 run. This was incredible to watch...

[@christhompson7485]

GO SOUTH CAROLINA. MAKE THE SEC PROUD. -Kentucky

We appreciate your sportsmanship for another sec team Kentucky

Quick story: I was interning at Blackbird Studios in Nashville during this run. I was sporting my Gamecock gear when none other than Darius Rucker was tracking there. He saw me in the lounge and legit said "How bout them Damn GAMECOCKS!" and dapped me up. Talked about the Duke game the night before. Was an incredible time. Without a doubt, some of the best TEAM basketball I've ever seen. Emotionally and physically. Can't come close to matching that feeling. Forever to thee. Thanks for sharing.

[@collinhinrichs3451]

That's outstanding - Martin is a great coach, we only missed this year because of the losses to the draft, 3 guys dumped by Martin for being stupid and Felder on disciplinary bench, he'll be back next year, but Martin is to basketball what Spurrier was to football, maybe better. Spurs up, rep the Garnet & Black in Vol-land.

[@taco2728]

Gamecock lol!

[@kmsharley75]

As a Gamecock fan,the Duke win was special,but the Florida win was the most impressive. Because when you get that far ,a conference opponent becomes your most feared adversary. They know you the best.

[@ThaRealUSC]

ive watched this a thousand times

Same

[@PowidzMalwa]

Tar Heel fan who was at the Final Four that year. I was really hoping for a North Carolina vs South Carolina final.

[@Whipcream-nc3mr]

Could get it this year

[@cliftonhicks9736]

Yeah, I wanted to see that one myself

[@cliftonhicks9736]

Hopefully the match up might happen this year

[@PowidzMalwa]

@@cliftonhicks9736 Possible but unlikely. Both teams were much better in 2017.

[@sacramentoking2667]

Respect to Coach Frank Martin and his players. That was one hell of a run.

[@Dev-zd3rx]

I am a south Carolina fan but I wanted them to win it all for them.....they worked so hard great job boys

[@dbenj_420]

Thornwell is a beast

[@travishays4920]

This was such a special run and such a fun group of players to watch. I realize full well the challenges a team like South Carolina faces to ever accomplish something like this and, as a fan, I'm glad I got to witness it.

[@billyjohnson9599]

I love how all the Clemson fans are like "now y'all like basketball"

[@graycat2267]

I know right? clemson fans: "ha ha south carolina is a basketball school now" and i'm just like OK is that supposed to be an insult?

[@Dev-zd3rx]

gray cat haha because Clemson sucks at every other sport

[@B-rad00]

Devin Weeks Amazing in football. Doing pretty good in basketball right now. Always have a damn good golf team

[@communist3426]

[@robinshumaker7412]

How are these guys under the radar all year? They didn't even get a vote for honorable mention in the rankings.

[@gavinjackson3786]

2020 anyone ?

[@krestainwatsonjr.]

I didn't expect the gamecocks to make it to the final four. A great Cinderella story

[@David-um7ic]

That North Carolina fan is thrilled rn

[@davidfence6939]

Every time the announcers said "first time this or that" I rolled my eyes. McGuire had us deep in the tournament prior to its expansion. And one our best teams ever that went undefeated in the ACC regular season was left out of the NCAA tournament because you had to win your conference tournament at the time. I mean you go undefeated in the ACC and your All-American is lost to injury in the semifinal, but still no NCAA bid due to the archaic rules of the tournament at the time. If you ever want to see how sports are a part of one's life look up the Bobby Cremins interview about that undefeated team. After the loss to NCST in the tournament championship game he basically went AWOL. When he won his second ACC title as a coach in Charlotte, NC he had the bus driver drive over to the arena the tournament he lost in as a player. He told off the arena and said he got his championship. I still wonder if that team gets in, wins the NCAA title over UCLA , and what happens as an independent school for the next decade or so. Also Carolina Coliseum was hosting a regional that year. To be able to may be play at home would have been huge. It was the last time Columbia hosted the NCAA tournament prior to 2019! Almost 50 years!

[@jonesjohnson1400]

I love this video

[@Jdmcclaran05]

Awesome

[@imtj9196]

5:19 feel bad who have to clean that up

[@carsonc29]

man, Kansas State has to be kicking themselves..Martin was doing real good at KSU then they decided to run him off because he was "too mean"...now USC has a FF and KSU is stuck with Weber LOL

[@eklypised]

Man I wanted to meet UNC in the championship game....no excuse but Thornwell was sick for the Gonzaga game

[@mummynightmare]

My dads a Clemson fan and this whole thing ruined he’s bracket

[@StephenVallejo]

Lol he probably had them out first round?

[@theyloveethan]

@@StephenVallejo a good amount of people had sc losing to Marquette

[@bigfan6554]

They deserved to win it all

[@poloregal]

Big Fan If Thornwell didnt have a 100• temp and was sick two days before, never know

[@nathandelman5980]

Big Fan it would've been North Carolina vs South Carolina

[@carsonc29]

why didn't Gonzaga deserve it? USC wasn't the only school with players that deserved to win the NC..and they aren't the only players who worked hard to get there..and NO, I'm not a Zags fan so save the insults

[@gradylovelace7133]

carsonc29 who said that they didn’t deserve it? I think The Gamecocks deserved it more because the NCAA invited us to the tournament in 2015 then said that they made a mistake and withdrew the invite.

[@communist3426]

carsonnc29 because USC's best player had the flu.

[@benstogner114]

go Cocks!!
