1968 - The Gamecocks stunned #3 North Carolina as Bobby Cremins made five free throws in the last 45 seconds of the game, including the eventual game winning one with five seconds left. It was USC's second win over a top ten team that week, as they'd knocked off #8 Duke just four days earlier. UNC actually led 49-36 in the second half, but Cremins and Skip Harlicka led a comeback that saw USC tie the game at 61. Both players had 23 points on the night, with Frank Standard adding 18 and Gary Gregor 15.
