The Gamecocks rebounded from last weekend's loss to Clemson with a pair of midweek wins at home against Wofford and Furman. The Gamecocks will be hosting another South Carolina team this weekend as Charleston Southern comes to town for the final non-conference series of the season. Carolina has a commanding 70-12 lead in the all-time series against the Buccaneers.
The Buccaneers are 8-5 on the season and enter the weekend on a five game win streak after a series win over Massachusetts and midweek victories over NC Central and SC Upstate. Charleston Southern's only experience on the road so far this season is a midweek two-game series with Georgia and the Bucs lost both games.
