I heard a B12 commentator who said the key was the physicality of Felder and Notice. My question is how the game will be called. Will the refs call touch fouls or let them play?
No. 7 South Carolina vs. No. 3 Baylor
7:29 p.m. Friday – New York City (TBS)
"South Carolina is easily the biggest surprise of the tournament. The Gamecocks did not have a nice end to the season, losing 6 of 9 heading into the tournament. However, South Carolina blasted Marquette in the first round and then shocked No. 2 seed Duke in the second round to reach the Sweet 16 for the first time since the 1970s.
Shooting guard Sindarius Thornwell is transforming himself into an NBA prospect with his dominant play. He averaged 26.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game on 48.5 percent shooting and 50 percent from the 3-point line in a pair of wins. However, the Gamecocks have an interesting matchup with All-American Johnathan Motley and the Baylor Bears.
Both teams rank top 15 in defensive efficiency. The game should be a slugfest. Really, the key matchup is going to be which unit plays better: Baylor’s interior scorers or South Carolina’s long-distance shooters. Can Frank Martin keep the streaking Gamecocks rolling into the second weekend?"
