[edit] NIT Championship game 2005
While a junior at the University of South Carolina, Kinsey was an essential player on the Gamecocks basketball team. As the team made it to the NIT (National Invitation Tournament), they reached the championship game against St. Joseph's University. With less than 6 seconds remaining on the clock, St. Joe's sharpshooter Pat Carroll (younger brother of Charlotte Bobcats guard Matt Carroll) hit a 3-pointer to tie the game up, 57-57. Kinsey got the inbounds pass for USC, dribbled up court, and fired a 3-pointer that hit nothing but net with 1.3 seconds left to win the NIT for South Carolina, 60-57. South Carolina's Carlos Powell was named MVP of the tournament.
