Gamecocks Welcome FAMU Saturday in Non-Con Finale

COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina (11-1) host Florida A&M (2-10) in a Saturday matinee to conclude the non-conference portion of the team’s schedule. Tip-off is slated for 2 p.m. (ET) with doors opening 1 hour prior at Colonial Life Arena.

It marks just the second meeting all-time between the two programs and first since Jan. 2, 2021.

Free concessions are being offered again for the team’s non-conference finale. For full details on the family friendly promotion, click here.

The Gamecocks are seeking to improve to 12-1 for the sixth time in program history (1933-34, 1944-45, 1969-70, 2003-04 and 2015-16). A victory would also mark the team’s first nine-game home win streak since the 2015-16 season when the team started the year 13-0 at home. That tied the longest home win streak since the 1997-98 team won 13-in-a-row at home.
