Mike Boynton said he could take someone to the exact spot he took his South Carolina jersey off for the last time, but his seniors might not have had the opportunity to take that moment in.
Boynton and the Gamecocks lost to Memphis 59-43 in the 2004 NCAA Tournament in Boynton’s senior season in Kemper Arena in Kansas City. Boynton’s 2019-20 seniors might have also finished their careers in KC, but when they took the cursive Cowboy jersey off after their 72-71 win against Iowa State on Wednesday, Cameron McGriff, Lindy Waters and Thomas Dziagwa didn’t know it was over.
