South Carolina (26-10) earned its induction to the 2017 NCAA Final Four with a 77-70 victory over Southeastern Conference rival Florida Sunday at New York City’s Madison Square Garden and will meet Gonzaga in the semifinal.
The North Carolina was pushed to the limit by the Kentucky Wildcats, but the former earned its spot in the Final Four when Luke Maye hit the game-winning shot with 0.3 seconds remaining to give head coach Roy Williams’ team a 75-73 victory. They will now meet Tyler Dorsey’s Oregon that also made it to the Final Four.
North Carolina (31-7), which lost last year’s NCAA title game in heartbreaking fashion when Villanova’s Kris Jenkins hit the game-winning shot at the buzzer, reeled off a late 12-0 run to regain control of the game.
