Year four of the Lamont Paris era at South Carolina is around the corner. With the new season a few months away, the schedule is slowly coming together.

South Carolina now knows its SEC schedule, which was officially revealed Wednesday afternoon. The Gamecocks will look to bounce back from a disappointing 12-20 (2-16 SEC) season, which featured a last-place finish in the conference, and return to the NCAA Tournament for the second time in three seasons.

The Gamecocks will open the conference slate on Jan. 3 with a home date against Vanderbilt and finish with a road trip to Ole Miss on March 7.

South Carolina also has some of its non-conference slots filled earlier in the season. It will be playing in the Greenbrier Tip-off Classic in West Virginia in late November. The Gamecocks will face Butler on Nov. 21 and Northwestern on Nov. 23.

South Carolina will host Virginia Tech on Dec. 2 in the ACC-SEC Challenge and will play at Clemson with a date still to be determined.

Here’s a look at the SEC schedule with all dates and opponents.
