COLUMBIA — South Carolina women's basketball will open its 2024-25 season against Michigan on Nov. 4 in Las Vegas, giving the Gamecocks their first opponent for the self-proclaimed "repeat tour."

Coach Dawn Staley revealed the news Wednesday. The game will be played at T-Mobile Arena as part of the 2024-25 Hall of Fame series, which features a doubleheader with a men's game between Texas and Ohio State.

Staley previously said that finalizing a schedule was difficult because of the lack of opponents wanting to play the Gamecocks, who won the national championship on April 7, completing an undefeated season.

On Tuesday, the 2024-25 SEC opponents were released. South Carolina will play a home-and-home series with SEC newcomer Texas.

The Wolverines were 20-14 last season, losing to Kansas in overtime in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

South Carolina and Michigan have not played each other since 1995 when the Gamecocks beat the Wolverines 78-69 on Dec. 1 in Ann Arbor. The Gamecocks are 3-0 overall against the Wolverines, and the two other wins were at home. The first was a 84-50 win on Feb. 8, 1976 and the second on Dec. 1, 1994 when the Gamecocks won 82-78.
