Lamont Paris and South Carolina basketball will look to salvage their week ahead on Saturday when they welcome LSU to Colonial Life Arena.
The No. 11 Gamecocks (21-4, 9-3 SEC) saw their season-long seven-game win streak snapped Wednesday at Auburn’s Neville Arena, as the Tigers routed South Carolina 101-61. Despite a poor offensive night for South Carolina — where it shot 18 of 52 from field and 3 of 15 from beyond the arch — junior guard Meechie Johnson did record his seventh game of the season of 20 or more points.
Johnson led the Gamecocks with 22 points while reigning SEC Freshman of the Week Collin Murray-Boyles followed with 19.

South Carolina, who is No. 50 in both the NCAA NET ranking and on KenPom, narrowly leads the all-time series against LSU at 20-18.
South Carolina will likely have to defend against the 3-ball against LSU, as the Tigers have made 10 or more 3s in six of their last eight games. Opponents are averaging almost six 3-pointers per game this season against the Gamecocks.
LSU (12-12, 4-7 SEC) enters Saturday’s matchup riding a three-game losing skid, with losses coming to No. 9 Tennessee, No. 15 Alabama and most recently Florida in the last two weeks.

South Carolina DB stays committed to MSU, open to other opportunities
Michigan State football made the decision to part ways with Jonathan Smith on Sunday afternoon, and in turn, are going to have to fight to keep the 2026 recruiting class together.
Some recruits have made it known that they are still committed to the Spartans, and still plan to sign, while others are leaving the door open to other schools contacting them, while staying committed.
One of those commits is Jeremiah Favorite, a Bolling Springs (SC) native. He is a 5-foot-11, 185 pound cornerback that ranks as a 3-star prospect according to 247Sports.
Favorite initially chose the Spartans over Indiana, Oklahoma State and Wake Forest, but held 13 power conference offers. He committed in late June.

Dabo Swinney Had Classy Words for Shane Beamer After Clemson Beat South Carolina
Dabo Swinney extended some empathy for rival coach Shane Beamer after Clemson took down South Carolina 28–14 on Saturday. The game marked the disappointing resolution of the Gamecocks’ season, which saw them finish 4–8.
South Carolina went into the 2025 season ranked No. 13 and coming off a promising 9–4 campaign a year ago. They proved unable to build off those efforts, instead doubling their loss total from 2024 and failing to qualify for a bowl game. Their season culminated with a loss to their in-state rivals, only adding to the sour taste this year has produced.
After the game, Swinney was seen extending support to Beamer’s family, sharing a hug with his wife and son.
“I’ve got a lot of respect for Shane and what he’s done here,” Swinney said after the game. “My heart hurts for him and Emily because I’ve been on the other side of it. But I’m proud of our guys.”

Swinney also stuck up for Beamer by recalling some of the ups and downs his own Clemson teams have undergone during his tenure. “All I can tell you, Shane’s good football coach, better person, and he cares,” Swinney said. “I think these are reactionary games where you can really overreact. I lost five in a row, and we were really good teams. And again, we had 15 turnovers to their three. And that was a bad run. But we were a good team, and they were a good team, but you hang in. I’m glad that Clemson people didn’t give up on me.”

Beamer addressed his team’s shortcomings as well on Saturday following their loss. He said earlier this month that next year South Carolina will be tuning in to the College Football Playoff rankings show to see where they land, and has doubled down that next year will prove much more successful.
“I hate that we’ve gone through this,” Beamer said. “I hate it for the seniors that don’t come back. But I can one billion percent promise you this. When we have a hell of a season in 2026 and when I’m doing this press conference after the Clemson game next year and we finished a regular season because of the success that we’re going to have next season, I know we will. We’re going to look back at this season and say, ‘It sucked going through it, but because of what we went through in ’25, it led us to what we just did in ’26.’”

Live Blog: Clemson Faces Rival’s South Carolina on the Road
The Palmetto Bowl has arrived once again, and Clemson and South Carolina are set to close out the 2025 regular season in a rivalry that rarely disappoints. The Tigers enter the matchup at 6–5 after securing their 21st straight bowl appearance with a convincing win over Furman, a game where Cade Klubnik threw two touchdowns to Antonio Williams and the offense piled up more than 450 total yards. South Carolina, sitting at 4–7, is coming off its strongest performance of the year after a 51–7 rout of Coastal Carolina behind LaNorris Sellers’ four-touchdown effort.
Today marks the 122nd meeting between the two programs, with Clemson holding the overall edge but the Gamecocks winning two of the last three. The Tigers, however, have dominated recent trips to Williams-Brice Stadium, taking five straight in Columbia, including a 16–7 victory back in 2023.
With both teams looking to close a turbulent season on a high note, all eyes turn to Columbia for one final regular-season stage. We’ll have updates, big plays, momentum shifts, and everything you need as the action unfolds live from Williams-Brice Stadium.
Clemson as the underdog
The Tigers are underdogs today. Something we’re not very used to in this rivalry of late.
Going out in a high note
To be honest, this might be more important than winning a final bowl game for these seniors. It definitely is. They need to show up today.
