The Tigers have won 5-of-7 in the series but the Gamecocks were victorious the last time the two programs squared off in head coach Lamont Paris’ first season in 2022-23. Columbia native Chico Carter Jr. hit the game-winning turnaround jump shot with 0.9 seconds remaining as the Gamecocks prevailed, 60-58.

Preseason All-SEC selection Collin Murray-Boyles, who leads the league and ranks in the top-20 nationally in field goal percentage, has had a double-double in three consecutive games for Carolina dating back to a 16-point, 14-rebound performance in a 73-51 win at Boston College on Dec. 3.
