"I wish that I could come up
with something inspired to say,
but I don't have it to say," com
mented N. C. State Coach Norm
Sloan after his W'olfpack had
lost to USC, 65-62, in a North
8; ut h I)oubleheader overtime
game.
USC Coach Frank McGuire
said, "We're happy that we won."
}ie added Monday that it was a
con,erence victory, a win over a
.ough "Hig Four" school, and
"our first over State.''
Frank Standard left the game
with a badly swollen ankle with
1:43 left in the overtime period.
Coach Mc(;uire said Monday that
the 6-4 forward from Brooklyn
would definitely not play against
E-rskine though he hopes "that
he'll he back for the Virginia
game" tomorrow.
The Gamecocks gained a 2-0
lead on Jack Thompson's shot
from the circle after 25 seconds,
but fell behind until Skip liar
licka put them ahead, 14-12, with
11:09 lef't in t.he first half.
The 'Cocks appeared to be
leading 32-22 at the half, but
official Stout ruled that the bas
ke!t had been shot after the buz
zer. The score was taken down
although the timekeeper and of
ficial Charlie Eckman had ap
parently accepted tihe score. Mc
Guire registered a protest, but
to no av'ail.
