COLUMBIA, S.C. –
The South Carolina men’s basketball team is sponsoring the first ever “Big Bounce Back,” which gives Gamecock season ticket holders the opportunity to turn in their tickets for the Jan. 2 contest versus Baylor so that the men’s basketball program can give back to children in the community while giving them the opportunity to watch Carolina compete during the holiday break.

All tickets donated for the Jan. 2 game will be distributed to children throughout the greater Columbia area for them to come cheer on the Gamecocks at Colonial Life Arena against Baylor at 12 p.m.

Ticket holders can donate their tickets in a number of ways. Electronically, they can log into their personal account, choose the “forward tickets” option, select the number of tickets to donate and then email their tickets to gamecocktickets@sc.edu. Simply put “Big Bounce Back” in the subject line.

Ticket holders can also mail their tickets to the Gamecock Ticket Office (c/o Big Bounce Back) at 801 Lincoln St., Columbia, SC 29208. Lastly, they can drop off their tickets at the Colonial Life Arena Ticket Office at the Furman game on Monday, Dec. 21.
