Tip Times and TV Information Announced for Men's Hoops

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Southeastern Conference announced tip times and tv information for the upcoming men’s basketball season on Thursday afternoon. South Carolina will play 15 league games on SEC Network with three games on other ESPN platforms, specific network designation to be made later.

All games on ESPN platforms (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SEC Network and ESPN+/SECN+) are available through the ESPN App, which is accessible via connected devices.

In the non-conference portion of the team’s schedule, two games will be played on SEC Network. The team’s annual in-state rivalry with Clemson, part of the South Carolina Education Lottery Palmetto Series, will tip at 7 p.m. (ET) on SEC Network on Tuesday, Dec. 17. The Gamecocks’ final non-conference game at home against Presbyterian on Monday, Dec. 30, will also be on SEC Network and tip at 7 p.m.

The remaining seven home games on the non-conference slate will all be on SEC Network+.

Carolina will make its second all-time trip (first since 1973) to Assembly Hall on Saturday, Nov. 16 to face Indiana. The 3 p.m. tipoff will mark the Gamecocks’ debut on Peacock, a streaming service subsidiary of NBCUniversal Media Group.
