On today's episode of Locked On Gamecocks we discuss the men's basketball team's disappointing loss to Mississippi State. Losing by 35 isn't ideal, but is it time to panic with Auburn and Alabama coming in next week?

The podcast also touches on football-related news, including NIL deals for players Nyck Harbor and Josiah Thompson, and a potential new defensive line target from the transfer portal. From there we discuss the return of "miSCellaneous news" going over a busy news day for South Carolina.

We also talk about former director of player personnel Taylor Edwards landing in Miami, former special teams coordinator Pete Lembo getting a big bowl win for Buffalo in the Bahamas Bowl, AND we talk about a new way too early 2025 top ten list that has the Gamecocks at No. 7 overall.
