South Carolina continued its historic run in the NCAA Tournament by reaching its first ever Final Four after defeating Florida in the regional finals on Sunday. One person who was on hand to witness the win was Darius Rucker, better known as “Hootie” from Hootie & the Blowfish.
Rucker was emotional watching the Gamecocks clinch their first ever Final Four berth. Take a look:

Rucker attended the University of South Carolina, which is where he founded his famed musical group.
The Charleston native is proud of his South Carolina upbringing and even named one of his music albums after the city and state. It’s cool to see how much this means to some of the school’s fans.
