East Columbia USC Of Impres BY FRED KIERNER Sports Writer Carolina enjoyed its best of fensive game this year as it won its 21st game against only four losses as the Gamecocks trounced Houston 104-86 Saturday at the Coliseum. Led by Alex English and Nate Davis, who both had career h?ghs of 37 and 21 points, respectively, Carolina had five men in double figures. Brian Winters, 18, Mike Dunleavy, 12, and Bob Mathias, 10, added to the team's point total. The game was close until 3:16 was left in the first half when Carolina started .a streak of baskets. USC outscored Houston 12-1 for the remaining time in the first half. "That bad spell in the last three minutes of the first half just killed us," Houston coach Guy Lewis said. "They have at least three great shooters. Dunleavy, English and Winters are all great shooters and Davis was a fine player, at least today." Lewis said USC's scoring spree hurt Houston's offense as well as its defense. "Our offense is what killed us in the first half," Lewis said. "They got those quick baskets and that caused us to be impatient on offense.

Coach Frank McGuire was specially pleased with the win. 'This showed the desire this team ias, just look at those jumpballs, ur boys outjumped their taller nen." Of the last three minutes of the irst half McGuire said, "We were ,etting position on their men under he boards. Greiner blocks out just reat, and if Davis gets that )osition nobody can out-rebound iim." Freshman Davis played 20 ninutes and, in addition to scoring, also collected seven rebounds and locked one shot. Against a much taller team the 3ainecocks showed their desire in another way, they blocked nine. Although he did not score his average, Winters showed his all around ability as he blocked three shots. Houston's high scorer was Louis Dunbar with 20 followed by Fresh man Otis Birdsong with 19. Despite leading Houston in scoring, Dunbar was disappointed in his play. "I missed a lot of shots I feel I could have made," Dunbar, a 6-9 forward-guard, said. "I could have done more to contribute."

McGuire said Davis, who has become the favorite of the Coliseum crowd, could be an even better rebounder than he is. McGuire said, "Nate played with his back to the basket in high school, and he follows the ball when it's shot. If he would get position first, nobody would out rebound him." The Gamecocks shot 55 per cent from the floor to 41 per cent for the Cougars. Carolina Rips Pitt For 20th BY GARY WEST Sports Writer Carolina's 67-50 thumping of Pitt Wednesday night gave USC its 20th win for the sixth straight season, a feat which seemed almost im possible at the start of the season. With only one senior starting with four sophomores, and sometimes a freshmaai , the Gamecocks have blitzed through a national schedule reaching a 21-4 record, including the Houston win. Coach Frank McGuire had praise for his players and their zone defense, which has saved a lot of games for them this year, after the Pitt game. "Our zone was the winning cause," said McGuire. "The defense helped a lot and you always have to shoot over the zone to beat it." That is something. Pitt's highly touted Panthers, owners of the nation's longest winning streak this season at 22 games. did not do, especially in the first half when the Gamecocks built up a 30-16 lead. Pitt shot a poor 27.6 per cent against Carolina's sticky zone and its leading scorer Bill Knight, who averages 22.3 points, had only six at the half. Assistant coach Donnie Walsh said the Gamecocks were keying on Knight in the zone and picking him up man-to-man inside the zone at times. While the zone worked wonders at one end of the court, USC, led by Brian Winters 12 points, hit 46.7 per c'ent from the field in building up a 14-point halftime lead. The second half was a question of whether Pitt could get back in the game. but the closest they got was w ithin seven points, even though they shot 50 per cent, as did USC, in the second half. 1'SC's backenourt duo of Winters and Mike Dunleavy accounted for 40 points in the game, with Winters hign scorer for the game with 23. lie also surpassed the 1,000-point mark for his career. ;Fo tocyofie, Inlc.; Has darkrooms for rent.
