South Carolina earned an important win Saturday afternoon, defeating Florida in overtime, 73-69.
It wasn't their best win, and it wasn't their prettiest, but South Carolina may have earned their most important win of the season on Saturday. The Gamecocks defeated the Florida Gators in overtime, 73-69, inside a sold-out Colonial Life Arena.
Entering the contest, Florida and South Carolina were tied with identical records in the SEC standings. An SEC championship is very important to this team but an NCAA Tournament bid would be much more memorable to the team and the fanbase.
