GREENVILLE, S.C. — With so many moving parts in an NCAA Tournament bracket, Chevez Goodwin is quite thankful that he is able to return to his home state for his final appearance in the Big Dance.
A graduate of Hammond School, Goodwin is a forward with Southern Cal who has made the cross country trip for the Greenville Regional. The Trojans face Miami Friday afternoon at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena.
Goodwin started his college career at the College of Charleston before transferring to Wofford. After sitting out a season per NCAA rules at the time, Goodwin played two seasons with the Terriers including the 2018-2019 season which saw Wofford set a single season school record with 30 wins and record its first win ever in the NCAA Tournament. Goodwin then transferred to Southern Cal where he has taken advantage of the extra year the NCAA has allowed athletes to use due to the COVID year. So, Goodwin's decision to come back for a fifth year of competition has led to him returning to the Upstate.
