Just one day after celebrating a National Championship during a parade in Columbia Wednesday, one member of the Gamecocks is leaving the program.

Head coach Lamont Paris completed his first staff leading South Carolina Gamecock men's basketball with the hiring of veteran assistant coach Tim Buckley on Thursday.

Thousands of fans filled the streets of downtown Columbia for a celebration of South Carolina’s second women’s basketball national championship Wednesday.

Home runs from Colin Burgess and Josiah Sightler combined with solid pitching helped the University of South Carolina baseball team to a 4-2 win over North Florida Tuesday night.

South Carolina head women's basketball coach Dawn Staley announced that Kierra Fletcher (Warren, Mich.) will join the Gamecocks as a graduate transfer from Georgia Tech. She will be eligible to play for the 2022-23 academic year.

No. 14 Georgia defeated the University of South Carolina baseball team 13-8, Sunday afternoon (April 10) to close out a three-game series at Founders Park.

Will Sanders earned the win on the mound. He struck out nine in 6.1 innings, allowing five hits and three earned runs.

Noah Hall pitched a gem, allowing just one run with 10 strikeouts in seven innings of work. The loss went to Cade Austin, who struck out two and gave up three hits and two runs in two innings.

With Bryant's departure, all five of the Gamecocks starters from last season have now left the program or are still in the transfer portal. 

Rich ranks sixth all-time in Carolina history with 4.30 assists per game, and his 5.16 assists per game during the 1994 season are seventh-most in a single season in program history, and he served as team captain his final two seasons in Garnet and Black.

On Wednesday the defending national champions found out they were bringing back four out of the five starters from this year's title team.

The smallest player on the court came up huge in the biggest moments for South Carolina.

The Gamecock baseball team fell to Missouri, 10-3, on Sunday afternoon (April 3) at Taylor Stadium.
