new role j
By John Swift %Gamecock
Staff Writer
Although most USC basketball I/
fans are familiar with the con- |||
tributions of Katrina Anderson and l.
Sheila Foster to the success of the |
Ladv Gamecocks, it is doubtful S
!I many realize the important role f|
Jean Walling has played this |J|
season. |||
Though adjusting to a new 1
position, the Barnwell native has H
provided steady play, compiling an
average of 15 points and eight [k
rebounds a game. [|?
"I'm still adjusting to playing p|
outside and I think it has hurt my K
scoring game," Walling said. "My
biggest contributions to the team, fl
however, are rebounding and I
defense." H
HER CONSISTENCY in all
phases of the game has helped the
I Lady Gamecocks improve their
record to 12-6. But the toughest
part of their schedule still remains
as they prepare to face such top
teams as Clemson, N.C. State, and
Old Dominion.
Walling said she feels the team
has reached its peak at the right
time. j
"We've come together since the
four losses over Christmas, and
we're starting to jell now. The UNC
game this past Saturday showed
we can play team ball and we need

successful," Walling commented.
"The four losses over Christmas
were mainly due to overconfidence,"
she added.
AS FOR HER future in. women's
basketball, the sophomore
physical education major is un- I
certain about playing in the new /
women's professional league after
college. _ ;
"I've thought about pro ball and
I don't know if I'd want to make a

besides basketball the rest of my !
life," she said.
Walling said she does feel that
the women's professional league is
here to stay, but she does not
foresee women competing with |
men on the basketball court.
For now though, Walling is
content to make basketball an
integral part of her life as the Lady
Gamecocks still have a chance at a
20-win season. Attainment of this
goal is perhaps the way for Jean
Walling to gain the recognition she
truly deserves, but rarely receives.
