🎥 THE FOLLOW

The Follow: Winding Up (S.3 Ep.2) - Minus the sting of a hard-fought rivalry series, it was a largely successful non-conference slate to kick off the Paul Mainieri era. Now the real season begins. SEC play is here. With the conference making up nearly half of the top-25 rankings, it's time to show what we're made of. One thing is for sure: if the Gamecocks plan to make a postseason run, the weekend rotation will have to be its best on the biggest stage.

📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Just Means More. SEC play is here! Gamecock baseball will host No. 12 Oklahoma at Founders Park this weekend. The series will begin tonight at 7 p.m. Tomorrow’s game will begin at 4 p.m. and Sunday’s at 1:30 p.m. All three games will stream on SEC Network+.

Weekend Rotation:

🔺 Jam Packed Weekend. The ninth-ranked softball team hosts No. 13 Georgia this weekend!

The team will be signing autographs on Sunday after the game. All three games will stream on SEC Network+.

🔺 Simply The Best. Women’s basketball head coach Dawn Staley has been named a semifinalist for the Naismith Women’s College Coach of the Year!
