Game times and television details have been released for the non-conference portion of the 2009-10 South Carolina men’s basketball schedule.

For the 2009-10 non-conference schedule, two contests will be broadcast on various FSN regional networks, including the home contest against Baylor and the away matchup at Clemson.
