How big is South Carolina making the Final Four? Football is ceding to basketball.

The Garnet and Black spring game in Columbia has been rescheduled from 2 p.m., April 1, to noon in order to give fans the opportunity to watch the Gamecocks’ men’s basketball team play in their first Final Four, which tips off Saturday at 6:09 p.m.

The spring game will be broadcast live on SEC Network. The Final Four between South Carolina and Gonzaga will air on CBS.

Luckily for celebrity super fan and former Hootie and the Blowfish frontman, Darius Rucker, he has no scheduled shows to move.

Sunday’s Elite Eight win over Florida brought the rocker-turned-country star to tears.
