Kentucky plays its first road game of the year Saturday at South Carolina — really, its first true road game since 2019 when you consider last season’s limited stadium capacities. South Carolina is pulling out all the stops to make sure Williams-Brice Stadium is packed Saturday night. Yesterday, the Gamecocks announced that approximately 1,000 tickets remain for the game; if you look at the Ticketmaster map this morning, it appears to be fewer than that.
On Tuesday, Gamecocks coach Shane Beamer called on fans to show up early and be loud — even though they will be required to mask up due to an ordinance from the City of Columbia.
