Korcek: South Carolina's run brings back memories of happier times for Huskies

Only in America. Spent the majority of the weekend glued to my TV and couch, ordering pizza, watching the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, and ignoring the rest of the world. Such a life.

How about South Carolina punching its ticket to the program’s first Final Four? Getting to Glendale, Arizona, represents the Gamecocks’ furthest advancement in the NCAA since reaching the Sweet 16 in 1971-72.
