This is my all-time favorite upset- January 9, 1971

"Maryland, which led by 4‐3 at the half, scored 6 points in the last 14 seconds, including Jim O'Brien's jump shot at the I buzzer, to stun once‐beaten South Carolina, 31‐30, in over time tonight.

"In an almost unbelievable finish to a much‐publicized re match of Atlantic Coast Con ference basketball rivals, the Terrapins tied the game at 23‐ all with four seconds left in regulation time and converted two out‐of‐bounds turnovers into baskets for their final 4 points....The game was a classic, part of the intense tradition that has become synonomous with bas ketball in this region of the country....
South Carolina had whipped Maryland by 26 points in a con troversial meeting last month that had produced several fights, reprimands and threats of reprisals.  Maryland decided to change its style of attack tonight and slowed the game to a standstill. The teams took only four shots in the first half, and the Terps won this war of nerves, when Howard White, a slick ball handler, hit a 13‐foot pump shot from the baseline at the half time buzzer."
