Horn, a Lexington native, takes his Gamecocks in following a three game losing streak.
The last time the team's played USC came out on top winning 69-62 here in Columbia. Devan Downey scored 30 points before urging fans to storm the court.
"To me it's no different than the first game we played with them… It's a great environment, it's a great college basketball environment," says Horn.
The Gamecocks are looking for a big win down the stretch although the team is unlikely to make the NCAA tournament. Kentucky is looking to avoid a fourth loss in two seasons to the Gamecocks.
