SEC men’s basketball tournament bracket is set. Who will Gamecocks play?

The South Carolina men’s basketball team earned the No. 11 seed in the SEC tournament and will open play 9 p.m. Thursday against Ole Miss in Nashville.

The game will air on SEC Network.

With a 28-point loss at Kentucky on Saturday, Frank Martin’s Gamecocks finished the season 6-14 (4-12 SEC). Their only path toward playing in the NCAA tournament will be through winning the SEC tournament, which runs from March 10-14 at Bridgestone Arena in Tennessee.

Despite the team’s struggles in a stop-and-start season, Gamecocks players have talked about the importance of maintaining a positive attitude heading into the tournament.

“I feel like the SEC tournament anybody can win, and so I feel like we have a chance, honestly,” sophomore forward Jalyn McCreary said after Saturday’s loss. “It’s open for anybody to win the SEC tournament, so we got to lock in and get ready for these next couple of days.”
