Darius Rucker went to the University of South Carolina. It’s where he met and formed Hootie and the Blowfish back in the day.
He wore a South Carolina hat in the promo photo for one of his songs:
So best believe that if the University of South Carolina had a chance to be in the Final Four for the first time EVER, Darius was going to be there.
