USC doesn't have the name recognition, or OOC schedule to get the benefit of the doubt. They need to go 4-1 down the stretch to really be safely in the NCAA tourney.
That loss at Mizzou was highly damaging. I'm not positive they can beat UF; USC historically has struggled with Florida more than nearly anyone else in-conference.

Bubble is so weak. Just win your home games. 3-2 and South Carolina will be fine.
If you go 3-2, you're likely getting a top 4 seed in the SEC Tournament (especially with the head-to-head victory over Florida). Even if you lose your first game in the conference tournament, it would be against a top-50 RPI team.
That would have SCAR at 24-8, with a solid record against top-100 teams. And also probably a 4-3 record against the top 50.
Wouldn't be an outstanding résumé (mainly due to lack of top-50 opponents), but should be good enough to get them into the tournament field. Tulsa is sneaking up the bubble, too. That could add a win over an NCAA Tournament team to SCAR's résumé, as well.
