Want to exercise some demons and make last Monday’s season-opening loss to North Florida a distant memory? Well, South Carolina will have a golden opportunity to do just that and more this weekend.
The Gamecocks will travel to Bloomington, Indiana for a rare trip to Assembly Hall. There, they’ll face No. 16 Indiana on Saturday (3 p.m., Peacock).
It’s still very early in the season, but this is where the schedule starts to heat up. South Carolina still has games to play against Xavier and Clemson before heading into SEC play. But this road tilt at Indiana will be telling of how much progress has been made through four games.
“I think it presents a great opportunity for us just to play against a good team early but in a hostile environment,” head coach Lamont Paris said. “The team’s going to grow from it. If you can come out there with a win, it really helps later on in the season, I think, as well as what it does for your confidence early on.”
