On December 21, 2009, it was announced that senior starting forward Dominique Archie would miss the rest of the season due to knee surgery required to repair an injury he suffered early in the Miami game. The Gamecocks played all games in the month of December without Archie and junior starter Mike Holmes after he suffered facial injuries during Thanksgiving break.[1] Holmes was subsequently dismissed from the basketball team on January 1, 2010, for a repeated violation of team rules.[2]
On January 26, 2010, Carolina won their first game in school history over a #1 ranked team, beating the undefeated (19-0) Kentucky Wildcats, 68-62.[3]
