South Carolina’s pre-season television schedule will feature televised battled with both Clemson and North Carolina State prior to opening the SEC state. The Gamecocks will appear on telvision at least 8 times this season.

South Carolina’s complete schedule of games should be released within the next week as the Gamecocks are awaiting confirmation of teams that will play in the Guardians Classic.

“We always look forward to playing on television. This year I am happy to see the ACC and the SEC recognize the importance of the South Carolina-Clemson game to both the teams and the fans. This is a game that should be on television each year,” said USC Head Coach Dave Odom.

The following is USC’s television schedule this season for men’s basketball. Last season USC was 6-9 on television.
