The Gamecocks finished the season with an overall record of 5–5 with a mark of 4–2 in conference play, sharing the ACC title with Duke. In July 1966, the ACC ruled that South Carolina had used two ineligible players during the 1965 season and required the Gamecocks to forfeit their four conference victories and share of the conference title. However, the Gamecocks and the NCAA do not acknowledge these forfeits, and their records continue to show the record of 5-5 (4-2) [1]
