The Gamecocks play in the Ohio Valley Conference. They finished 13-19 overall during the 2019-20 campaign.
Jacksonville State lost at Tennessee last year by a score of 75-53. The Crimson Tide are still waiting to hear if talented sharpshooter John Petty will return to school or stay in the 2020 NBA Draft.
