The Spiders held the Gamecocks scoreless for the final 76 seconds to secure the victory. After a drive by South Carolina's B.J. McKie and subsequent tap-in attempt were off the mark at the buzzer, the Spiders gathered at midcourt to celebrate yet another upset.
Richmond's Marseilles Brown hit five three-pointers in the first half to offset 16 points by McKie, who made six of his first seven shots. The Spiders led by five at halftime and by as many as nine points in the second half. Richmond committed just six turnovers in the game.
