1997 - The Gamecocks remained undefeated in two tries for SEC road games this season after capping a 16-point comeback with an 80-79 win at Florida. Carolina found itself down by that amount with just five minutes and seventeen seconds remaining in the game. USC then erupted with a 22-5 run led by Larry Davis, who had gone scoreless in the second half until that point. Davis would pour in 12 points in the game's final six minutes. He hit a three pointer to tie the game at 74, followed by a basket from William Gallman that gave USC a 76-74 lead. The teams went back and forth until the final five seconds. With Carolina trailing 79-78 BJ McKie made a layup for the final points of the game. The game had been tied at 39 at halftime before Florida pulled away in the first twelve minutes of the second half. The Gamecocks improved to 10-5 on the year with the win.
