South Carolina Gamecocks (10-16, 0-13 SEC) are set to face off against Texas Longhorns (16-10, 5-8 SEC) in a highly anticipated matchup on Saturday night at Colonial Life Arena. The broadcast will be on SEC Network at 8:30 p.m. (ET) with Roy Philpott and Perry Clark on the call. This will only be the third meeting between the two teams, with their last encounter dating back to 1982. The Gamecocks are looking to bounce back from a tough season and will rely on players like freshman Jimmy Foster and senior Zam Fredrick to lead them to victory.
Senior transfer guard Jamarii Thomas is coming off a strong performance against LSU, scoring a season-high 23 points. Sophomore forward Collin Murray-Boyles is also proving to be a key player for the Gamecocks with seven double-doubles so far this season.
On the other side, Texas is led by freshman guard Tre Johnson, who is the leading scorer in the SEC. The Longhorns are coming off a win against Kentucky and have a 3-4 record in road games this season. This matchup promises to be an exciting one as both teams look to secure a crucial win.
Due to a water pipe issue, fans are advised to plan alternate routes to the arena to avoid potential traffic disruptions. Fans can catch the game on SEC Network or follow live updates on ESPN. The Gamecocks will then hit the road to face Missouri in their next game.
