South Carolina Men's Basketball Concludes Regular Season at Ole Miss South Carolina men’s basketball will wrap up its regular season on Saturday as the Gamecocks face Ole Miss at the Sandy and John Black Pavilion. The game is set for 1 p.m. ET on the SEC Network, with play-by-play commentator Mike Morgan and analyst Rodney Terry providing coverage. The matchup marks the Gamecocks’ fourth consecutive visit to Oxford, where they have secured three straight victories since a 77-74 overtime win on February 15, 2022. The Gamecocks, currently 12-18 overall and 3-14 in the SEC, aim to build momentum ahead of the SEC Tournament after a three-game losing streak. Their recent loss to No. 23/25 Tennessee on Senior Night highlighted a challenging stretch, but they remain optimistic. Meechie Johnson led the team with 20 points, four assists, two rebounds, and a steal, while Nordin Kapic contributed 13 points off the bench. Mike Sharavjamts surpassed 1,000 career points in the game, joining Kobe Knox and Myles Stute as players to achieve this milestone this season. Johnson’s performance has been standout, with a career-best 12 games scoring 20 or more points, 10 of which came in SEC action. This places him tied for third in the league with Auburn’s Keyshawn Hall. Since 2004-05, only Devan Downey (2010) and Sindarius Thornwell (2017) have matched this feat. Johnson’s 19.8 points per game in SEC contests rank him among the top four players in the conference in scoring and assists. His 17.3 points per game overall position him as a potential candidate to become just the 12th player in program history to average 17.0 points per game in a season. South Carolina’s free throw shooting has been a key strength, with the team shooting 78.6% (508-of-646) through 30 games.#ole_miss #south_carolina_mens_basketball #meechie_johnson #mike_sharavjamts #kobe_knox
