South Carolina & USC Agree To Battle Of SC Series

Two elite women’s college basketball programs with identical acronyms have agreed to a two-year series titled the “Real SC Series”. South Carolina and USC will face off on November 15, 2025 at Crypto Arena in Los Angeles, CA (home of the LA Lakers), and on November 15, 2026 at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, SC; according to a press release by South Carolina athletics. This series will be hosted by Complete Sports Management.

South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley stated in the release: “I will always choose elevating women’s basketball, and that’s especially true in scheduling, I know Complete Sports Management has the same mission, and I like their creativity in [bringing] not just two great programs together but engaging their fan bases on both coasts in a debate they love to have.”

The last time these two teams met was on November 15, 2014, in a game that South Carolina won 70-61.
