🔼 Wear White. There’s a blockbuster matchup tonight at the PMAC as No. 1 South Carolina is in town to take on the No. 9 Tigers. These are the two of the nation’s highest scoring teams, as the Tigers lead the country with 91.7 points per game. South Carolina is the fourth-highest scoring team, averaging 90.8 points per game. The matchup is so big, ESPN’s College Gameday is in town and there are plenty of pregame activities.
