The Final Four effect on the South Carolina men’s basketball program will be seen this season at Colonial Life Arena.
USC marketing director Eric Nichols told The State on Thursday over 8,700 season tickets have been sold, with ample time still remaining until the Nov. 13 home opener against Western Michigan.
“That number changes significantly by the hour,” Nichols said Thursday afternoon. “One of the big thresholds that was a big deal to us was selling out the lower bowl in season tickets, which we have done.”
South Carolina in 2016-17 finished 21st nationally – and fourth in the SEC – in attendance, averaging a school-record 13,395 fans at CLA.
