'Cocks Fall, 67-64
By BILL MADDEN
In a contest in which the comical officiating prevailed
;hroughout, North Carolina State spoiled USC's chances of
raining a portion of their first ACC regular season crown
md handed the Gamecocks a 67-64 defeat before an en
;husiastic crowd in Raleigh Saturday night.
The Wolfpack, applying a combination of sheer aggres
diveness and muscle embellished by some rather questionable
e's decisions, were able to outlast Frank McGuire's visibly
ressed Gamecocks.
This is not to say that there was only one beneficiary of
;he officiating, but the consistency with which the fouls
Nere called-particularly the touch fouls levied on the Game
-ocks' Bobby Cremins-left much to be desired.
As McGuire painfully and angrily admitted after the
.ontest, "If there's any loose officiating we simply can't
;vin-we don't have the bodies."
State was able to capitalize on the repeated USC fouls
ind chip away at the Gamecocks' lead until a three-point
play by State's Rick Anheuser at 5:32 put the Pack out in
rront, 57-54.
John Roche and State's Vann Williford then exchanged
jump shots, but Anheuser and soph Jim Risinger increased
the Wolfpack lead to 63-58 with a little more than two
inutes remaining.
Then at 1:51 Cremins fouled out and for USC that was
the beginning of the end. Despite a clutch steal by John
Ribock followed by a bucket and then a Tom Owens' tip that
tied it with 25 seconds remaining, the tide had long since
turned for State.
Dick Braucher converted with three seconds left on the
clock to win it and the subsequent foul called on Billy Walsh
was only an anti-climax.
The game itself was a well-played affair and both teams
were a tribute to their coaches. For the Gamecocks. Tom
Owens played one of his most brilliant games to date, vir
tually ruling supreme under the boards, pulling down 18 re
bounds, blocking shots and putting in some key tip-ins.
Billy Walsh provided his usual clutch outside sharp
shooting to keep Carolina in the ball game in the first period
when Roche was being heavily covered.
Nevertheless a loss is a loss and this one can only be
::onsidered most heartbreaking considering the stakes that
were on the line. When asked if the loss would make his
team tougher in the tournament McGuire summed up the
feelings of all the Gamecock supporters that were on hand:
"A loss never helps you. We play them all one at a time
and if these kids weren't ready to play then I did a poor job
of coaching."
The kids were indeed ready and they proved it, but the
pressure of the long season for only five men has also got
to be taking its toll.
