 | It's early into the College of Charleston's run in their new basketball venue, but until further notice, the Cougars' 82-80 overtime victory over South Carolina Friday night will stand as their finest hour in Carolina First Arena. Tony White Jr. sealed the victory with two free throws with 3.4 seconds to play in overtime, allowing the Cougars (5-1) to beat the Gamecocks (4-1) for only the second time in 29 tries and the first time since 1930. | ||
