South Carolina men’s basketball announces exhibition game details
South Carolina men’s basketball announced Friday it will hold its annual exhibition game Oct. 30 against Columbia International University at Colonial Life Arena.
Tip time is 7 p.m. Admission is free.
This was the lone missing game to USC’s 2019-20 schedule.
With its closeness to Halloween, the school is encouraging children to wear costumes to the game for trick-or-treating with Cocky on the concourse at halftime. The school also said children who wear costumes will receive two free tickets to the Gamecocks’ season opener against North Alabama on Nov. 6 at CLA.
The Gamecocks are 6-1 in exhibitions under Frank Martin, including last year’s loss to Augusta.
Columbia International competes at the NAIA Division II level. The Rams, coached by former Clemson guard Tony Stockman, finished 18-16 last season.
