24. South Carolina Gamecocks

Previous Ranking: Not Rated

Record: 17-4 (7-1 SEC)

South Carolina regained its place in our top 25 after throttling Auburn at home and beating Missouri by 10 in Columbia. The Gamecocks will take on dismal LSU to tip off their February slate.

Sindarius Thornwell was the team leader in the road win over the Tigers. He scored 16 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in the 10-point win. The only other player in double-figures was freshman Rakym Felder off the bench. South Carolina is easily in the conversation for second-best team in the SEC, but this squad team doesn’t feel like it gets past the round of 32 in March.
