COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina women’s basketball fans can watch their Gamecocks play on national television at least 16 times in 2018-19, the SEC office announced today. While broadcast information for some of South Carolina’s non-conference games has not been determined yet, the Gamecocks will be featured as many as nine times on the ESPN family of networks (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU) with another seven games airing on SEC Network.
 
For the second time in as many seasons, ESPN’s coverage of South Carolina starts early as the station will air the Sun., Nov. 18, home game against Maryland. Three other non-conference games will air on ESPN2 – Baylor (Dec. 2), at Purdue (Dec. 16) and at UConn (Feb. 11). That station will also carry the Gamecocks’ SEC matchups against Missouri (Jan. 21), at Tennessee (Feb. 24) and against Mississippi State (Mar. 3). ESPNU will air South Carolina’s home game against Alabama on Sun., Jan. 6.
