2006 - The Gamecocks upset Kentucky in the SEC semi-finals, stunning the heavily favored Wildcats who were 34-1 in SEC tournament semi-finals before that. Twice Carolina trailed by five in the second half, but the Gamecocks rallied each time, going ahead for good when Tarence Kinsey and Bryce Sheldon hit four straight 3-pointers to put USC up by six with 5:40 left. Kinsey led the Gamecocks with 18 points, with Sheldon (12) and Tre Kelley (13) also in double figures. The Gamecocks would lose to Florida in the finals but go on to win the NIT.
