It was Tom Owens' n i g h t in
Carolina Coliseum as the big for
ward led Carolina's Gamecocks to
a convincing 90-67 win over Fur
man's hapless Paladins.
Owens equaled his career high
of 31 points while capturing 19 re
bounds to take top honors in both
categories for the two teams.
Caarles Selvy was high point
man for the lackluster Paladins
with 18 points and Joe Brunson
retrieved the most rebounds, 14.
Prior to this game, Furman's
Dick Esleeck was considered the
primary threat in the Paladin's of
fense. But Gamecock captain Bob
Cremins put the silencer on Fur
man's big gun and held Esleeck to
a paltry 15 points, 10 of which
came in the first half.
Neither team appeared to be too
concerned with each other when
the evening began. Both squads
experienced some difficulty in scor
ing; the count was tied 2-2 at the
18:38 mark.
Furman used a 1-3-1 offense
and defense trying to s h u t off
USC's big men who were close to
the basket, but the Gamecocks'
superior height and rebounding
strength allowed Carolina to con
tml both backboards throughout
most of the game.
Carolina also managed to get its
rarely seen fast break moving late
in the first period. Three quick
steals, two by Walsh and one by
Roche in the final minute of first
half play, gave Carolina a 40-29
edge over the bewildered Paladins.
USC immediately took charge
Riker-Led
Biddies
Roll, 81-58
After a shaky first half the USC
Biddies, behind the scoring and
rebounding of Tom Riker, came
on strong in the second half to
defeat the Furman freshmen,
81-58.
With starters Bob Carver and
Rick Adylette on the bench with
four fouls each, Riker and Billy
Grimes led the Biddies to a sub
stantial second half lead.
The first half was clo s e as
neither team was able to gain a
commanding lead. F u r m a n did
manage to get a five point lead
at 28-23, but Riker and Carver
brought the Biddies back to a 36-32
halftime advantage.
Riker was the game's high scor
er with 31 points. Bob Carver was
next with 19 and Grimes chipped
in 12, most of them in the second
half. High man for Furman was
Steve Pigman with 24.
Riker also led both teams in
rebounding with 19. David Jenkins
came off the bench to gather in
9 rebounds, second high for the
game.

at the second half's beginning by
scoring four straight points before
the Paladins called time out.
Furman proceeded to press and
switched to a man-to-man defense
in an effort to stop Carolina but
USC continued to get easy lay-ups
and penetrated inside for the good
shots.

shots and John Ribock playing his
