Gamecocks to Host Virtual NCAA Selection Show Party

COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina women’s basketball invites fans to join the team virtually for the 2021 Postseason Pajama Jam presented by AllSouth Federal Credit Union. The event will be held on Zoom and the team’s Facebook page live with programming and contests beginning at 6:15 p.m. and through the NCAA Selection Show broadcast on Mon., March 15.
 
The team encourages fans to get comfortable in their favorite pajamas, as the coaches and student-athletes will, be for pre-selection show programming that will include interactions with head coach Dawn Staley and selected student-athletes, a special performance from the team, fan voting on favorite moments during the season and chances to win exclusive postseason merchandise and other prizes. The fun will continue in the virtual event once the NCAA Selection Show begins on ESPN with a second-screen experience of sharing the moment with the team as it awaits its seeding and first opponent in the tournament.
 
For the event, two local black female artists were commissioned to design exclusive limited edition 2021 postseason merchandise. The t-shirt designed by University of South Carolina senior Jahnna Blyden and Under Armour shoes designed by Kaylah Davis of Latta, S.C., will only be available to fans attending the virtual event on Monday and other AllSouth virtual events throughout the tournament.
 
Fans should register to join Monday’s Zoom session at: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_pnqYW6jBTdKB4xRPI2m0Nw as virtual seating is limited. For those who are not able to secure one of the Zoom spots, the event will be broadcast live on the team’s Facebook account as well.
 
After winning the SEC Tournament to earn an automatic bid to the 2021 NCAA Tournament, No. 5/5 South Carolina awaits its seeding at the event and its first-round opponent. All rounds of the tournament will be held in San Antonio, Texas, this season with first-round games played on March 21 or 22.
