Two weeks ago, Carolina was rocking along with a 9-0 record, had won the championship of the Holiday Festival in Madison Square Garden, and had numbered among its victims two teams ranked in the top 10, Notre Dame and Western Kentucky. The Gamecocks were ranked second themselves. The next four games, with one exception, have been a nightmare, however. First, North Carolina knocked the Gamecocks from the unbeaten ranks with a sound 79-64 thrashing at Chapel Hill. The Gamecocks rallied at home to beat Temple 84-71, but then came back 0 ATLANTA 0STER BREAK? the Size - $140.00 itree, N. E.

Maryland upset the Gamecocks 31-30 in overtime in a game in which the Terrapins resorted to a complete stall throughout the first half and a general slowdown throughout. Virginia didn't stall, but slowed down the action to a walk and came out with a 50-49 victory. In both cases, the Gamecocks lost the lead in the. dying seconds. Following Monday night's loss at Virginia, Carolina is off until thi rematch with the Cavaliers scheduled for Jan. 30 in Carolina Coliseum. USC takes a 10-3 overall record and a 3-3 Atlantic Coast Conference mark into the semester break. The slowdown tactics by op ponents in the past two games have not only resulted in upset wins over the Gamecocks, they have also played havoc with Carolina's in dividual scoring and rebounding averages. Two weeks ago, USC had three players averaging above or near 20 points per game. Now, the Gamecocks have none with John Roche's 19.7 the top mark. Tom Riker is averaging 17.8 and Tom Owens 15.8, with sophomore Kevin Joyce scoring at a 14.2 average. Owens, the ACC's rebounding champion the past two years, has seen his recovery average slump from 16.2 per game entering the Holiday Festival to 11.4. South Carolina collected only three in dividual rebounds in the slowdown loss to Maryland and two of them were in the overtime period.
