Good morning. Gamecock men’s basketball has 26 wins, which ties the program record for all-time single-season wins, and our guys aren’t done yet.

A dominant second half, sparked by the hot shooting and smooth moves of Collin Murray-Boyles, delivered the 80-66 for South Carolina.

The Gamecocks are back at it today, facing the tourney’s fourth-seeded Auburn Tigers at 3:30pm ET on ESPN.

🔼 More Hardware. JaMeesia Ford picked up another accolade as Gamecock Track & Field’s outdoor season gets underway. Ford earned USTFCCCA Southwest Region Track Athlete of the Year as she turned in an undefeated season in the 200-meter during her rookie campaign, capped off with a national championship in the event.

🔼 On Par. Hannah Darling is your SEC Women’s Golfer of the Week for the second time this season and the third time in her career in the Garnet & Black. Darling’s had a hot start to March, winning the Darius Rucker Intercollegiate, then finishing tied for second at the Valspar Augusta Invitational.

🔼 Nation’s Best. The future continues to stay bright for South Carolina women’s basketball. Signee Joyce Edwards is one of three finalists for the 2023-24 Gatorade National Girls Basketball Player of the Year. Edwards, a two-time South Carolina Gatorade Player of the Year, is a three-sport athlete who averaged 31.3 points, 13.3 rebounds, 4.5 steals, and 4.0 assists on the hardwood during her senior season en route to winning the state championship.

🔼 High Level. And speaking of South Carolina women’s basketball, the squad is heading to Charlotte next season. The Gamecocks will compete against NC State in the 2024 Ally Tipoff as part of a doubleheader that also features a battle between Iowa and Virginia Tech.

“This is the type of event we love to play in – high-level opponent, regional so our FAMS can be part of the game, and backed by a sponsor who has invested in growing women’s sports,” Coach Staley said.

More details on tickets and packages coming soon.

🔼 Rotate In. South Carolina baseball will open league play this evening in Oxford. Tonight’s first pitch is slated for 7:30pm ET with Eli Jones expected to be on the mound for the Garnet & Black. Saturday’s contest is scheduled for 2:00pm ET with Dylan Eskew likely to get the nod, and a starting pitcher for Sunday’s 2:30pm ET game is TBA. Full preview here.

🔼 Do Big Things. As Spencer Rattler gets ready for the NFL, LaNorris Sellers is gearing up to compete for the role of QB1. On Sellers, who saw time in a handful of games last season, Rattler said: “He’s gonna be a dog. He’s gonna be the guy. Just physical, smart, super talented. He’s gonna do some big things here.”

🤔 GAMECOCK TRIVIA
