The Cavaliers took the gamble on the last play, but according to UVa head coach Bill Gibson it wasn't that much of a gamble. "Sure, we gambled," he said, "but we had confidence in Barry. We had him work for his shot and he got it. We knew that he could hit it.'' Gibson gave all the credit for the win to his ballplayers. "They're a super bunch of kids. And this is a super win. The kids were fantastic. They listened real well. They stuck to the game plan and we won. "It's a real big win for us. Probably as big a win as we've ever had. I liked the way the kids maintained their poise." Virginia was down 49-46 late in the ball game but Parkhill hit a McG blasts v TEl)I)Y IIEFFNER Sports Editor USC's Frank McGuire was very upset after his team dropped a hard fought 50-49 decision to Virginia Monday night. It was the second straight one point loss for the Gamecocks. "That walking call took us right out of it." McGuire said. "You wouldn't see that call again in 100 years. The boy didn't walk. lie did the same thing he. and everybody else had been doing all night. That call could not have come at a more crucial time." McGuire also had something to say about the last play of the game. "We screened for Aydlett (Rick) and he took the shot. but it didn't go in. He was hit on the play. but do you think an official would call a foul? 'The officials have taken the Saggressiveness away from our Iboys." McGuire said. "This isn't b)asketball any more. It's not the game it's the buildup, the b)ackground. It's so intense. "Tlhe game is well played and I all of a sudden this guy calls a walk and takes us right out of it. The of I icials are scared to death for their jobs <$125 a game), 3probably because of Norvall Nev'e. ''They <the officials I know which side Neve has taken and they don't want to get on the Roche si RJ's r gamIL ot prov pair of free throws at the 3:09 mark to cut the margin to 49-48. USC got the ball and seemed in no hurry to take a shot. Guard Kevin Joyce dribbled away the time with 6-10 Scott McCandlish trying desperately to get the ball. Joyce, obviously playing for the foul, seemed to get it when the whistle blew at the 2:10 mark. Joyce, however, doubled up with disbelief when, after taking a step toward the foul line, he saw a traveling violation called. That was the big play as UVa played for Parkhill's shot and got it. Carolina came back after the last score to get a Rick Aydlett Jumper off at the buzzer but the ball hit the inside of the rim and bounded away. USC head coach Frank McGuire was noticably upset. "The walking on Joyce was the big thing," he said. "That's a call you wouldn't see in a 104) years. The boy didn't walk. "And on the last play Aydlett was hit. We screened for him and ruire ACC other side. The commissioner is not on our side at all. He held a gun to our heads to make us go to Maryland. "And everyone is saying how well we were treated (at Maryland). We almost got killed getting off the floor after the game. I got punched in the back about six times. "For a game with the buildup like the Maryland game I went on the floor expecting to see the best officials in the world. I look out and see Hartenstein (Chuck) and I think 'when did he start officiating?' I remember hitting ground balls to him when I was at North Carolina. "The officials did a good job but they missed some calls because they lacked ex berience. They're not going to make the call for us because they are scared because they know the side Neve has taken. "If think it all goes back to football. I really believe this. Tihey 're taking the meetings with D)ietzel (Paul) and President .Jones out on the basketball team. We're bearing the b)runt of everything. All I ask is a fair shake. 'We're not the least bit ashamed of our team. We're just getting ready for the tournament. We found out last time that is all that matters."j Wedlie 41P M e.17 )le pay4 'ides Vi( he took the shot but it didn't go in. If everything was going our way it would have went in, but that's the breaks. "We missed Carver a great deal on this trip. We couldn't press like we would have liked to. They're (Virginia) a good team. They played good ball." The slowdown by the UVa, the second in a row that USC has faced, played havoc with Carolina's scoring. John Roche, a 24-plus scorer all season, had a career low of six points. Tom Owens hit 16 on 8-10 from the floor but had only two rebounds. 1H 6-10 Tom one of USC have sadd straight I billc *For more years than even sports pages of the Richmoi presided over by a schola Durden.
