Tonight's action will mark the second meeting of the two ACC forces this season, as the Game cocks captured a 74-70 victory over the Cavaliers last month in Charlottesville. The Furman tilt, too, will be a rematch. Coach Stevens' troops downed the Pala dins 91-81 last week in Columbia. Virginia Coach Billy McCann will rely on excellent speed and good ball handling in an effort to contain the cagy Gamecocks. Al though the Cavaliers rank in the bottom half in ACC standings, they are second in the conference in total offense and have five play ers with averages in the double figures. The standout is Paul Adkins, team captain, who is now second on the conference scoring ladder. Adkins has been cited by Coach McCann as "the best back court man in the Atlantic Coast Con ference," and has lived up to his pre-season expectations with his fine scoring and rebounding aver ages. The senior guard is averag ing better than 18 points a game and has led the Cavaliers in play making this season. A lack of height has hampered the Cave all season long, as the squad's tallest man is center Bob Mortell, who is 6-8 and tips i the scales at 205. T h e team averages 6-3 in height, as com pared to a 6-5 average for the Gamecock starters. Virginia's I shortest man, and one of the leading scorers, is 5-11 Anthony Laquintano, a sophomore guard. Others who have figured in Vir Cinia's record are forwards John laner and Walter Densmore, and guard Bruce Michelsen. Haner and Densmore are each averaging over 12 points a game. Conard Leads Furman Coach Lyles Alley, recently stricken with flu, will have to rely on only eight men in his attempt to avenge last week's loss, as many regulars and sub stitutes have dropped off the team since fall practice. The most promising hope in Fur nan's future is forward Tom Con krd, who hit 36 points in Carolina f'eld House in the previous en ~ounter.'
