Rivalries & Top Games to Attend
South Carolina vs Clemson
Rival Team: Clemson Tigers
Unlike other college basketball rivalries, the rivalry between Clemson and South Carolina runs much deeper than the hardwood. The two schools were founded 88 years apart as Clemson was established to satisfy the agrarian movement’s request for more agricultural education after South Carolina refused to expand their agriculture program. On the court, the two teams have met 167 times with the Gamecocks holding a 90-77 lead, so don’t miss it when Clemson comes to town.
South Carolina vs Georgia
Rival Team: Georgia Bulldogs
The Gamecocks and Bulldogs have a fierce rivalry on the gridiron that carries over onto the hardwood. The two teams have a protected rivalry and play a home and home series every year, so if you can only attend one game a year then the South Carolina-Georgia game is the one to see.
