COLUMBIA, S.C. — The SEC has announced the league opponents for the upcoming 2024-2025 season for men's basketball and South Carolina will have home and road games with Florida, Georgia and Mississippi State.
The conference schedule will tip off on Saturday, January 4 and will finish on Saturday, March 8. With the league expanding to 16 schools with the addition of Texas and Oklahoma, each SEC team will play the other 15 at least once during league play.

There have been just two meetings all-time with Texas and they came in the Bill Foster era. The Gamecocks beat Texas 74-70 on Dec. 23, 1980 at Carolina Coliseum and the Longhorns won the return game, 88-71, in Austin on Jan. 23, 1982.
