With the SEC becoming such a dominant league in recent years there aren’t many “easy” games on the schedule but the Gators will have a rare opportunity for a lighter game on Wednesday when they take on the South Carolina Gamecocks.
While the Gators (11-8, 4-3 SEC) will take no opponent lightly, it’s hard not to look at how the season has gone for the Gamecocks (8-11, 1-5 SEC) and think this is a game that is a must-win for the Gators. Things haven’t gone according to plan for the Gators so far this season who see themselves outside of the NCAA Tournament picture as things currently sit (of course, there is a ton of season remaining) and a loss to the Gamecocks would not do them any favors and could be a semi-fatal blow to their resume.
