The 2014 University of South Carolina football team will be recognized at halftime of the South Carolina – Kentucky men’s basketball game on Saturday, January 24. The game will tip at noon ET at Colonial Life Arena in Columbia and will be televised nationally on either ESPN or ESPN2.

Head football coach Steve Spurrier and several players from the 2014 Duck Commander Independence Bowl championship squad are expected to be on hand, with the Head Ball Coach slated to address the crowd.

The Gamecocks finished the 2014 season with a 7-6 record overall, as they tied the school record with their seventh-consecutive winning season, previously set from 1928-34. They also extended their school record to 11-straight seasons with at least a .500 record. The season culminated with a 24-21 win over Miami (Fla.) in the Duck Commander Independence Bowl, the Gamecocks’ fourth-consecutive bowl victory.

The 2014 senior class posted 40 wins, the second-most wins in a four-year period in school history. Carolina has won 49 games in this decade, the 11th-winningest program in Division I-A football and the third-winningest SEC program during that span behind only Alabama and LSU.

Tickets for the basketball game remain on sale exclusively for members of the Gamecock Club by calling 800-4SC-FANS or online at GamecocksOnline.com. A limited number of seats will go on sale to the general public Wednesday at 10 am ET.
