Will the Tigers or Gamecocks make it to the Big Dance?

The question that is on every Clemson and South Carolina fans mind is will the Tigers or Gamecocks make it to the big dance (the NCAA tournement)?  With the Clemson Tigers 18-7 orverall and 6-5 in the ACC, they still might have a good chance to make it. With five games left with Virginia, at Florida State, Georgia Tech, and finally at #25 Wake Forest. These last five games don't look so tough, but which Clemson team will show up to play? Will the Tiger team show up that beat UNC earlier in the year or will the old Clemson team that had lost 4 straght show up. While the Tigers' road to the NCAA Tournement looking good with those five games left, the future for the South Carolina Gamecocks who are 14-11 overall and 5-6 in theSEC, does not look so bright. Their five remaining games are #18 Tennessee, at #2 Kentucky (which the Gamecocks pulled of the biggest upset in their history), Mississippi State, Alabama, and finally ending the season at #19 Vandy. If the Gamecocks do not win atleast two or three of those final games, they would have to almost win the SEC tournement which is highly unlikely for both teams to thier conference tournements. I have been proven wrong by both teams before, but time will tell the future for these to basketball teams.
