No. 1: South Carolina Basketball Punches Their Ticket to the Final Four with a Big Win over a Familiar Foe in the Elite Eight
The Florida Gators and South Carolina Gamecocks split their two-game season series with each home team coming out on top. The third matchup certainly would be the most important asa trip to the Final Four was the prize. A truly back-and-forth game found two unlikely candidates making the difference on the scoreboard late.
With just under 2:00 to play in the game, freshman Maik Kotsar made his second of two clutch mid-range jumpshots to keep his team ahead. As the clock dwindled, Duane Notice iced the game with a huge (and extremely rare) dunk that whipped the pro-Gamecock crowd into an absolute frenzy as the inevitable victory was sealed.
