South Carolina and Oklahoma State are set to collide on December 6, 2024, in Columbia, South Carolina, in a non-conference women's basketball game that will mark the first meeting between the two programs in history.
The matchup arrives as Oklahoma State prepares to build on its recent return to the NCAA Tournament, a milestone not achieved since the 2021 season, while also integrating several high-profile transfers into its roster.
South Carolina will showcase familiar faces such as forward Post Audi Crooks and point guard Liv McGill, both of whom have faced the Gamecocks in previous seasons and bring added intrigue to the contest.
A future reunion on the horizon
The two schools have already penciled in a second encounter for the 2027-28 season at a neutral venue in Oklahoma, underscoring a growing relationship that began with this historic first game.
South Carolina's schedule also includes seven pre-scheduled games before the December 6 showdown, featuring a rivalry contest against Clemson and participation in the PowHER Player Classic, an HBCU women's basketball tournament and NIL marketplace that will also feature teams like Tennessee State.
Looking ahead, the SEC season will open on December 31, with home-and-home matchups against Oklahoma and other conference foes such as Alabama and Florida, while the full slate of dates and tipoff times will be announced later.
