The USC basketball team will play at Boston College tonight. The Gamecocks are 8-3 this season. They are winless away from the friendly confines of the Colonial Life Arena. B.C. is 8-4 and they are 1-0 in ACC play. This is the third ACC team the Gamecocks have faced this season. They lost to Miami in the Charleston Classic and dropped their game at Clemson earlier this month.

Gamecock coach Darrin Horn views tonight’s game as a chance to bolster his team’s postseason resume.
