DukE BY STEVE PARKER Sports Editor USC's basketball Gamecocks go after their 20th victory of the sea son, once again, when they face Duquesne University Wednesday night at the Coliseum.

The victory would have marked Coach Frank McGuire's fifth consecutive 20-win campaign here at Carolina, but now the Gamecocks must defeat the visiting Dukes to obtain the mark during the regular season. The contest will mark the final regular season affair for both teams, and will be the last time that seniors Kevin Joyce, Danny Traylor, and Casey Manning will play on the Coliseum floor for the Gamecocks.

Duquesne is now 16-7, but their leader has not been Billingy but instead guard Ruben Montanex who has assumed the team's lead in scor ing while also being the playmaker. Jack Wojdowki also returns as a starter from last season's 20-game winning team when the 6-4 forward averaged 13 points each game. Part of the reason for the Duke's record letdown from last year, even with three starters that returned, is their tough schedule.
