"We were sweating this one out." said U-SC head coach Frank McGuire. 1I 's hard to believe they have lost nine games. I thought the game was decided when -Joyce made both ends of one and one and then went back to the line and made both ends of aloilher one-and-one. I hate to think what would have happened if he'd missed those shots. IhY'Vre Wildcats, no doubt about that. They really go to the boards. They play physical basketball. I don't mean that to sound dirtv'. I like to see that kind ol basketball. They really fly to the boards. (H Course. I think Tommy I)wens did an outstanding job rebounding for us. lie's the smartest big man in the country." -John Roche led the Gamecock scoring parade with 22 points on six lield goals and 10 free throws. Roche missed five foul shots in the game. the most he has missed in ,)(ne game in his career. Roche was backed up by Joyce iid Owens who each hit 14 points. l'om Riker had six. Riker was in otil trouble all night and finally picked up number five late in the game. Owens showed the board brilliance that allowed him to lead the conference in rebounding for Iwo years. The 6-11 senior hit the boards for 17 rebounds, hanging on several times in the midst of a crowd. It was very tough inside. Owens said. "It was called so loosely on both ends of the court. The all time call though," Owens said, shaking his head and smiling, P R 1-Taco l1Tostada 1-Enchiladi offer gooi 19. I free SC pas "was Adrian in the air. He walked, palmed the ball, stepped out of bounds, the ball hit out of bounds and he didn't have possession and they (the officials) still gave the ball to Davidson." The play Owens was referring to came late in the game with the Wildcats pressing and trying desperately to catch-up. Adrian went after a loose ball along the sideline. grabbed it and signaled time out while in the air.
