Both schools had the fourth weekend of the 2021 season open and have agreed to a home-and-home series with the Longhorns visiting Founders Park in 2022.

The Longhorns played in the State Farm Collegiate Classic in Arlington, Texas, this past weekend, falling to Mississippi State, Arkansas and Ole Miss. No. 17 Carolina now has eight top-25 teams on its schedule (No. 1 Ole Miss, No. 2 Arkansas, No. 3 Vanderbilt, No. 5 Mississippi State, No. 7 Florida, No. 11 LSU, No. 18 Tennessee and No. 19 Texas).
 
The Gamecocks have faced Texas three times in their history, with all three matchups coming in the College World Series. The teams met twice in the 1975 CWS and in the 2002 championship game in Omaha.
 
Carolina hosts Winthrop this afternoon at 4 p.m. in Founders Park.
