It's become a kind of May tradition, about as much as the flowers blooming, the weather getting warmer, and hamburgers and hot dogs being put on the grill: the Gamecocks packing their things, busing down to Hoover, Alabama for the SEC Baseball Tournament—only to return just a few days later without a win.
No one can explain why the Gamecocks struggle so much in Hoover. Basically everyone has given up trying to do so, and that was before Carolina's latest mishap at the Met, a 5-1 loss to Missouri today to put an end what has been a disappointing season.
