South Carolina, the defending national champion, is headed to Dickies Arena on Sunday, Dec. 8 to play TCU in the USLBM Coast to Coast Challenge featuring the Hoopfest Women’s Basketball Classic. The Gamecocks, which won the 2023 NCAA National Championship, will face off against the hometown Horned Frogs at 6 p.m. on an ESPN Network to be decided at a later date.

South Carolina finished 38-0 in 2023-24 on the way to capturing its third NCAA Championship and second in the last three years. The Gamecocks return nine letterwinners, including a pair of double-digit scorers in SEC Tournament MVP and SEC All-Freshman selection MiLaysia Fulwiley and NCAA leading 3-point percentage shooter and All-American Te-Hina Paopao. Dawn Staley will begin her 25th season as head coach of the Gamecocks who have been a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament eight of the last 10 seasons.

Last season, TCU nearly tripled its year-over win tally, finishing 21-12 overall after going 8-23 the season prior. The Horned Frogs broke seven school records and notched their first postseason berth in five years. TCU returns eight letter winners from last season’s squad, including All-Big 12 players Madison Conner and Sedona Prince. TCU also assembled an impact transfer class featuring Olympian Hailey Van Lith and guards Taylor Bigby (USC), Donovyn Hunter (Oregon State) and Maddie Scherr (Kentucky). Mark Campbell will begin his second season as TCU’s head coach.
