UJXCaXITIIJ "ntTTtiTi i .Gilloon's leade auus pressure i By SALLY WILSON Asst. Sports Editor The pressure is on Jackie Gilloon this year. No longer will Alex English and Mike Dunleavy, two 1975 starters, be around to bring the Gamecocks out of tough situations. "I think a lot of pressure is on this year because Nate (Davis) and I are the only starters left," said Gilloon, a junior from West New York, N.J. "Last year, Alex and Mike were there to take the pressure ott. it s expected ot us to do well. Although inconsistency has hurt his play the past two years, Gilloon cannot afford to play poorly if Carolina wants to compete with Kentucky, Michigan, Marquette and other nationally ranked schools on the schedule. Gilloon said his role in USC basketball this year is leading the team in two ways. AS A BALL-HANDLER, Gilloon sets up offensive plays in the Gamecocks' one-guard offense. 4 * T f U? r* lr T Km rr\ /-v Kn fUn lr\nrlrvr? fUrt pf onlinrY i iimii\ i na vu iu uc nits icuuci wuii Mic oiai 11115 lineup we have (one guard offense)," Gilloon said. "It's the only way. I can see the open man and pass inside." "He's the quarterback on a basketball court," said head coach Frank McGuire. "A great deal depends on him." The other part of his role is "helping a lot of the younger guys out," Gilloon said. "Thpv'll be lookine to me to lead the ball handling." 4/ O v he said. "They'll be looking to us (Davis and him) because we've been in pressure situations before." The questions is whether Gilloon can handle the pressure and demands of his role as a leader. Gilloon played in 24 of 27 games last season. Because of a car accident after curfew hours, Gilloon was suspended from play for one week and missed games against Toledo, Oklahoma and Michigan. Gilloon said he learned a lot from the incident. i i i i This year, we will choose a select < number of top college graduates for our Nuclear Power Program. i And naturally, we want to give | every qualified man a fair chance c of being considered.

A great deal depends on him." ?Frank McGuire V ??. s "I'VE BEEN more dedicated off the court," he said. "I know what to do and what not to do." McGuire thinks Gilloon is more settled as a junior because of age and experience. Gilloon's ability as a team player shows in his school assists records. While setting a season assist ^ record with 156 in 1975, Gilloon needs just 92 assists to tie Kevin Joyce's career assist record of 370. In last year's Georgia Southern game, Gilloon had 17 assists, a Carolina record for one game. "He's got excellent ball handling and dribbling," McGuire said. "His peripheral vision on the court is very good." Gilloon said he is satisfied with his play this year and has cut down on turnovers since his freshman year. "This year I know when to pass and when not to," he said. McGuire and Gilloon agree his shooting has im- ^ proved. "I am going to shoot more this year," Gilloon said. "With Davis. Hilton and Graziano inside, it is going to leave me open a lot. I am going to put it up from 20 feet and when I'm open." Whether Gilloon is shooting or setting up offensive plays, the pressi^re will be there. And if Carolina should play competitively well against any opponent, one can expect that Jackie Gilloon was playing his role. e navy s clear Power ! ?graiiis K t everybody j ' n get into it.
