One day later on Nov. 25, head coach Ryan Pannone will host a Thanksgiving Clinic sponsored by Lost Pizza Co. for campers ranging from kindergarten to sixth grade. Camp participant check-in begins at 8:30 a.m., while the event runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information, click here.

The Gamecocks face North Dakota State at 2 p.m. on Nov. 26, with free admission provided for all who attend.

The matchup, scheduled for 2 p.m., will include a team poster giveaway, and the team will be available following its conclusion for an autograph session.

A camper reunion for all who attended on Nov. 25 will take place on the court during halftime.
