South Carolina men's basketball 2025-26 SEC schedule revealed

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.
