COLUMBIA, S.C. -- It was a full-on celebration mode in Columbia after South Carolina Gamecocks men's basketball team punched a ticket to the Final Four for the first time in school history.
After the Gamecocks defeated the Florida Gators in a heated Elite Eight battle, groups of students and fans took a dip in one of the local fountains to celebrate.
WLTX's Lana Harris shared a video of South Carolina fans crowding one of the fountains in Columbia.
