While the date for the game hasn't been set in stone, the game will be in Columbia.

Last season Rider finished 18-12, 12-8 in the Metro Atlantic Conference. They ended the season No. 187 in KenPom and 185th in the NET rankings.

It'll be just the third time the two programs have met with the last time in 2012, an 88-76 South Carolina win.

The Gamecocks also have home non-conference games against Radford, Western Carolina, Army and Clemson scheduled with road games against George Washington and Houston.
