On his radio show last Thursday Coach Dave Odom was asked about the idea of a Blackout for the Mississippi State game. Coach Odom embraced the idea, saying he supports anything that creates unity. With that in mind, Gamecock fans are encouraged to wear black at this Wednesday’s game at the Colonial Center against SEC-leading Mississippi State. Tipoff is set for 7:30 p.m.

South Carolina carries a 19-4 overall record and a 6-3 mark in SEC play into the game. MSU is 19-1 overall and leads the SEC West with a 9-1 record.
