CLEMSON, S.C. — South Carolina women’s basketball will host border rival Duke on Thu., Dec. 5, as part of the 2024 SEC-ACC Challenge. It marks the second season the Gamecocks will face a Tobacco Road opponent in the event after topping North Carolina in Chapel Hill last fall.
The SEC-ACC Challenge is in its second season, replacing the two conferences’ previous challenges with the Big 12 and Big Ten, respectively, across both men’s and women’s basketball.
The Gamecocks became the 10th team in NCAA history to complete an undefeated National Championship season in 2023-24, adding the program’s eighth SEC Regular-Season Championship and eighth SEC Tournament title as well. South Carolina led the nation in scoring defense, scoring margin and blocked shots per game, setting program records for scoring average, scoring margin, field goals made, 3-point field goals made, defensive rebounds and assists.
Duke went to the NCAA Sweet 16 last season with its 22-12 record slotting them at No. 17 in the final Associated Press Poll and No. 21 in the final USA Today Coaches’ Poll.
