Since the 1960s, the South Carolina men's basketball team has been among the most consistent programs in the region. Whether the team was a member of the ACC or SEC, South Carolina Gamecocks basketball tickets have offered fans a front row seat to a regular contender.
The early days of USC basketball were mildly successful, with the Gamecocks capturing several Southern Conference championships in the 20s and 30s, but it was not until the 1960s and the hiring of legendary head coach Frank McGuire that the team reached national prominence. During his 15 years at the helm, the Gamecocks made three Sweet Sixteen appearances and won the ACC regular season title in 1970.
More recently, the Gamecocks have been a model of consistency. While a national championship may still be on the horizon, they captured back-to-back National Invitational Tournament crowns in 2005 and 2006, and won the SEC East regular season title in 2009.
Much like every South Carolina team, the Gamecocks primary rivalry is with in-state foe Clemson, whose campus is just 132 miles away. They also have a fierce rivalry with SEC counterpart Kentucky. |
