"I feel good about playing N. C
State in the first round. They ar4
tough on their home court, an<
we will have to play them latei
on in the tournament anyway, si
why not take 'em in the firs
round ?"
This quote came from the ver
able and personable Bob StevenE
head basketball coach for th,
Gamecocks. He wasn't being funn:
or satiracal when he said it. H,
meant it, and it paid off.
Stevens has been issuing quote:
like this ever since he embarkeo
upon our campus. One of his mos
famous ones, "North Carolini

pletely ignored by the newspapers
They looked at it and chuckle<
under their breath. But when the
read the score that night afte:
the game, everyone went back an
looked up his quote and blaste<
it on their pages.
Before the Gamecocks left fo:

Wednesday and come back home
Sunday w i t h the trophy." Press
Mavarich, the basketball mentor
at Clemson College, said that
Stevens was crazy for saying such
things. He felt differently about
this man after the Birds had
downed the Wolfpack in the first
roumd.
All of this boils down to one
thing-he is optimistic, but is a
, confident optimist. It has rubbed
off on his boys, and even though
he didn't win the ACC tourney, he
- sure scared the devil out of 'em
i before his spirited club lost in the
semi-finals.
Carolina drew N. C. State in
the first round of the Atlantic
Coast Conference Tournament
in Raleigh last week, and put on
t what many consider the best
show during the three-day event.
The Birds fought hard as usual,
and by keeping their morale
i high and their desire in the
clouds, they pulled off one of
r the bigger upsets of the col
l legiate world, with the excep
tion of their victory over the
Tar Heels several weeks back.
r They were ranked sixth in the
nation at that time.
