Gamecocks take over Times Square
South Carolina celebrated its NCAA Tournament success in style.
Digital billboards in New York City’s Times Square on Friday showcased the Gamecocks and the University of South Carolina. The billboards on the NASDAQ and Thomson Reuters Buildings at 43rd and 7th, and 43rd and Broadway featured digital signage showcasing the Sweet 16 USC men’s basketball team, as well as the university.
Fans on hand even took photos with Athletics Director Ray Tanner ahead of the Gamecocks’ NCAA Tournament game against Baylor.
