South Carolina Upsets Over Kentucky In Recent Years

Let's take a look back at some of the games the University of South Carolina has one some games that we really thought UK was going to win.

February 15th, 2005: #3 UK goes into the Colonial Center with Chuck Hayes and Kelenna Azubuike and get upset 73-61.

March 11th, 2006: After beating South Carolina twice in the regular season, the Gamecocks defeat UK 65-61 in the SEC Tournament Semi-Finals.

October 4th, 2007: South Carolina Football defeats 5-0 #7 ranked UK 38-23 at Williams-Brice Stadium.

October 11th, 2008: UK Football blows a half-time lead to USC and lose 24-17 at Commonwealth Stadium.

January 31st, 2009: Devan Downey hits a game-winning basket over Kentucky to win 78-77 at Rupp Arena.

February 25th, 2009: South Carolina completes a season sweep over Kentucky for the first time since 1997 with a 77-59 victory at the Colonial Center.

October 10th, 2009: South Carolina comes back and beats Kentucky by two points at Williams-Brice Stadium as UK Starting QB Mike Hartline gets injured and a controversial call made by UK to go for it on 4th Down late in the game rather than kicking the field goal and lose 28-26. That field goal would have been the difference in the game.

January 26th, 2010: South Carolina knocks off #1 ranked Kentucky 68-62 at the Colonial Center to get their first win over a #1 ranked team in school history.

South Carolina got their's today though. The SEC slapped the University of South Carolina with a $25,000 fine for the students rushing the court right after the upset victory last night over Kentucky. Devan Downey has to now face the Rupp Arena crowd one last time before he graduates. Hopefully UK will get revenge on him and the Gamecocks, snapping their 3-game losing streak to them. Just hope that the result of the game won't be the same as last year's game at Rupp Arena.
