2006 - Carolina needed some overtime heroics to keep their NIT title drive alive, as they finished regulation tied with Florida State at 58. USC thought they'd won the game in regulation but a Renaldo Balkman jumper was ruled to have been after the buzzer in Tallahassee. Tarence Kinsey sealed the win in the extra period by making three free throws in the final twenty six seconds, giving USC a 69-68 win. Tre Kelley led the USC scoring with 17 points, while Kinsey added 14, Rocky Trice 12 and Brandon Wallace 11. The Gamecocks would on to win the NIT title in New York nine days later.
1985 - The Gamecocks set a school record with nine home runs and Dave Hollins ties a record by homering three times in a 29-3 win over Cincinnati
