What channel is Kentucky vs South Carolina on today? UK basketball odds, time, TV schedule

Posted by author February 8, 2025 Basketball

LEXINGTON — The number three will figure prominently for Kentucky basketball heading into today’s matchup versus South Carolina.

The reasons, in no specific order:

The good news for the Wildcats (15-7, 4-5 SEC), who are No. 14 in the latest USA TODAY Coaches Poll and AP Top 25 rankings, is the Gamecocks are, on record alone, the worst team in the league.

South Carolina is 10-12 overall and the only winless team in conference play (0-9).

But it’s not as if the Gamecocks haven’t been competitive. Five of their nine SEC setbacks have been by five points or less: Auburn (66-63), Vanderbilt (66-63), Florida (70-69), Mississippi State (65-60 in overtime) and Texas A&M (76-72).
