As many of you know South Carolina loves its football and particularly at the college level, but we also love our basketball too. The Clemson men are having a good season and will make the playoffs while the lady Gamecocks are acting like lady Gamecocks! They were undefeated in the regular season and play next week in the SEC Tournament. The Gamecock men, under Coach Lamont Paris, have defied expectations and quite simply have done a remarkable job. Coach Paris and his staff have pulled together people who have never played with each other before and created such a talented basketball team. Between the Gamecock men’s and women’s teams, I have been glued to the television many times throughout this season and I look forward to seeing how deep a run they make during March Madness. What would we do without our sports? Go Gamecocks!

We’re here for the people of South Carolina!
