Bubble Teams rooting for Florida

With a few games left before the committee selects the field of 65, the one team left that can steal a bid seems to be the South Carolina Gamecocks. With wins over Mississippi St. in the SEC opening round, Tennessee in the SEWC Quarterfinals, and Kentucky in the SEC Semifinals (first time Kentucky has lost in the SEC Semis since the 1930s), The Gamecocks will take on the Florida Gators in the SEC Title Game.

Led by Tarence Kinsy's 18 points, South Carolina beat Kentucky 65-61. In the other semifinal Florida outscored LSU 43-24 in the 2nd half to win 81-65. Taurean Green scored 18 in the win, and Corey Brewer and Joahim Noah each contributed 15.

And don't forget, the Official NCAA Selection Show is tomorrow at 6:00 Eastern. The time is almost finally here!
