2006 - USC's drive to be the first team to repeat as NIT Champions since St. John's in 1943 and 1944 took a step forward as the Gamecocks outlasted Cincinnati 65-62 to advance to the semifinals in New York. The Bearcats led 37-33 in the second half when Tre Kelley keyed a Carolina run with nine consecutive points to put USC in the lead. Cincinatti would come back and tie the game, but it would be Kelley again, this time with a layup with 48 seconds left for the decisive basket. Kelley led USC with 21 points, with Tarence Kimsey (18) and Brandon Wallace (13) also in double figures. Future USC guard Devan Downey scored for 10 for Cincinnati, his last game with UC before transferring to the Gamecocks.
