Lamont Paris finalizes South Carolina basketball schedule, including 23 major foes

On Friday, Lamont Paris' South Carolina basketball squad announced their entire non-conference schedule, meaning the Gamecocks' entire 2024-2025 slate is completed.

The schedule includes 23 regular season games against opponents from major conferences, 18 from the SEC, and 5 in non-conference play. 18 games will be at Colonial Life Arena, 11 will be played on the road, and 2 will be played at a neutral site venue in the Fort Myers Tip-Off. USC will play 11 road games against opponents from major conferences, 10 at home, and 2 in Fort Myers.

The Fort Myers Tip-off will see Coach Paris' squad play the Xavier Musketeers and either the Michigan Wolverines or Virginia Tech Hokies (tournament style), the 2nd year of the SEC/ACC Challenge will have Carolina hit the road to play the Boston College Eagles in Chestnut Hill, the annual rivalry against the Clemson Tigers will be played in December (when students are not on campus), and the Gamecocks will play the Florida Gators, Georgia Bulldogs, and Mississippi State Bulldogs twice in SEC play.
