2017 - The Gamecocks knocked off Florida 77-70 in New York City to earn their first ever Final Four berth. The Gators led 40-33 at the end of the first half, but a 13-6 run got them close, then two Chris Silva free throws and a tip in by Maik Kotsar took the lead. The game went back and forth and was tied at 63 with three minutes to go, but Carolina went up 67-63 and then used steals by Sindarius Thornwell and PJ Dozier to clinch the win. Thornwell led the scorers with 26 points.
1975 - Senior pitcher Ray Lavigne no-hit George Mason in an 8-0 victory where he struck out seven and walked four while improving his season record to 4-0. The no-hitter was impressive in its own right, but what made it more amazing was that USC had also gotten a no-hitter in its previous game from Tim Lewis. Among the offensive highlights were a two-run single by Jeff Grantz in a six run second inning and a home run from Hank Small in the eighth. USC improved to 16-2 on the year.
