It seemed like Wednesday was the night jubilation would break thorough. Instead, Florida’s Will Richard hit a layup with seconds left to give No. 5 Florida a 70-69 win over South Carolina (10-9, 0-6 SEC). It is the first time the Gamecocks have started conference play 0-6 since 2013-14.
The Gators will have one of their top scorers taking the hardwood. Richard has averaged 13 points per game this season, the third-best on the team. To have to play on the road in the SEC would have been very, very tough with how good the conference is.

Unlike the 21st century’s leading SEC passer, the conference’s No. 1 rusher of the past 25 seasons didn’t make it all the way to the top of the league’s all-time chart.

In this exercise, Florida would replace Tennessee as the third SEC team into the playoff field in 2025.
