"I thought that we had a good chance at the half. \ missed free throws and we didn't shoot well from the flooi said Gamecock Head Coach Bill Foster. USC shot only 35 percent from the floor in the second ha hitting 14-40 from the floor. USC hit 13-27 from the f< line. Once again the Gamecocks were led by Jimmy Foster u hit 14 points. And things didn't get better at Texas, as the Longhoi totally outmanned USC for their eighth road defeat in many games, 88-77. The undefeated and f fth-ranked Longhorns jurrped ou a 13-0 lead to begin the game and never looked back. "We got off to a terrible start," said Foster. We really c a hole for ourselves. We were behind 6-0 before we even t i shot and you can't do that against anybody." Although the Gamecocks were dominated by Longhorns, Foster said he noticed some improvement si their loss to Southern Mississippi. "I praised our team. I saw some things that are com along. We cut our turnovers down, raise dour assists to 17, played more aggressively on the boards. Those are posil things," he said.
