Help send the Gamecock off on the right foot!!! Come and show your support! Wear Garnet and Black!

On Wednesday, March 17, fans, students and the general public are asked to come to the Colonial Center at 2:45 pm for a 3:00 pm send-off pep rally with the Gamecock Basketball Team as they prepare to depart for Kansas City, Mo. for the NCAA Tournament First Round game against Memphis on Friday.

Fans are asked to arrive around 2:45 pm and park in the lots around the Colonial Center. The pep rally will be outside the Colonial Center – next to the fountain. If it is raining – we will hold it inside the front doors.

Members of the band and cheerleaders will be there to get the crowd ready to welcome the team at 3 pm. The team will arrive at 3 pm on the ShuttleCock. USC Head Coach Dave Odom and senior captain Mike Boynton, Jr. will both speak for a few minutes prior to departing from Eagle Aviation and a 4 pm departure.
