WBB: Wofford Preview
Who: #2 South Carolina (11-1) vs. Wofford (6-4). Columbia, SC
Time/TV: 2:00 on SEC Network.
Line: There might not be one but we will update if one becomes available. SC -42.5 with a 131.5 total is best guess.
History: South Carolina leads 7-0 all-time and is 5-0 in Columbia. The schools have only met once during Dawn Staley‘s tenure.
Last Meeting: November 19, 2017. SC 94-60 in Columbia. Carolina beat the Terriers in their fourth game of the season behind 16 points and 13 rebounds from All-American A’ja Wilson. Wilson did her damage in just 19 minutes. Ty Harris had 13 points. Wilson and Harris were joined by Alexis Jennings, Kiki Herbert-Harrigan, Lindsey Spann and Doniyah Cliney all with double digit points.
Scouting the Terries
Wofford enters this contest at 6-4. They have one common opponent with the Gamecocks- Duke. The Terries fell at Cameron 93-58. The Gamecocks beat Duke 81-70 in game that wasn’t as close as the final score indicated. Terrier leading scorer Rachael Rose (13.8 pgg) is back from an injury that kept her out of more than half of Wofford’s games thus far. Rose is a career 40% three-point shooter but she’s struggled this season hitting only 23.8% of her attempts. She’s also 16% below her career average in foul shooting. Rose was named as the SoCon Preseason Player of the Year. The Scranton, PA native is trying to repeat winning the award as she was the player of the year in the league last season as well. Wofford was also picked to win the league narrowly over UNC Greensboro.
Wofford’s best all-around player on the season has been Evangelia Paulk. The 6’0 guard out of Asheville is averaging 10.3 points and 6.5 rebounds a game, (team high).
As expected, Wofford doesn’t have the size or athleticism to keep up with Carolina. Wofford only has three players at 6’0 or above and only Paulk starts. The tallest player is 6’2. Wofford is one of the few teams that will rotate as many players as the Gamecocks. Wofford has 12 girls that are playing over nine minutes a game.
For Carolina
It’s pretty simple, don’t get anyone hurt. South Carolina will embark on its’ 16-game SEC odyssey plus UConn beginning on January 2. The Gamecocks play nine games against teams presently ranked in the Top 25.

South Carolina store owner found not guilty of murder in fatal shooting of Black teen
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WACH) — Chikei Rick Chow has been found not guilty by a South Carolina jury on murder charges in the shooting death of a Black 14-year-old in Columbia.
Chow was charged in the May 28, 2023, shooting death of Cyrus Carmack-Belton outside Chow’s Shell gas station on Parklane Road.
Carmack-Belton ran from the store while being chased by Chow and his son, according to prosecutors.
Authorities said the pair pursued the teen after accusing him of stealing four bottles of water from the store.
Chow shot Carmack-Belton once in the back after his son claimed the teen had a gun. He was arrested the following day.
In November 2025, a judge denied Rick Chow immunity under South Carolina’s Stand Your Ground law and also denied bond, ruling the 60-year-old store owner was a danger to the community and a flight risk.
The ruling came after prosecutors presented surveillance video and photos in court showing Carmack-Belton running from the store. Authorities said the allegation of theft was not supported by surveillance video.
Chow has served three years in prison.
The unanimous decision came Monday evening after eight hours of deliberation.
