GAM Kelly's Queasy F As Carolina IJpse By MIKE LOUGH Intramural Sports Editor Terry Kelly had a queasy feeling about him Wednesday. His USC ladies' basketball team was to face lOth-ranked Memphis State that night. Kelly felt even worse after seeing guard Mflrsi MnAli?tpr pntor nro.flamn mnol if vaavvt p* V ^UUIV. U1V.CU CI L II1C Roost on crutches. "She gives us a lot of team speed and quickness," Kelly said. "I felt queasy enough about the game. When she showed up on crutches, I couldn't eat. I drank some water." Kelly's fears ? "I was more worried about this game than any other all year," he said ? proved unfounded as his Lady Gamecocks dismantled the Memphis State Lady Tigers Wednesday night 92-67 at Frank McGuire Arena in the Carolina Coliseum. "I felt extremely queasy about this game," Kelly said after the win. After the way his team played, he said he hoped "to feel like this before every game." Shelia Foster led the USC charges with 22 points. Becky Parker and Evelyn Johnson added 20 each,while Brantley Southers and Sharon Rivprc paph haH 10 "I thought it was the best we've played all year," Kelly said. "We shot extremely well in the first half and we didn't shoot too bad in the second half. Plus, they only shot 35 percent." USC vaulted out of the starting blocks to an 8-0 lead and never really looked back. That 8-0 margin and a 12-4 score were the closest the Lady Tigers could come. The Lady Gamecocks went into the lockerroom at halftime with a comfortable 49-29 lead. Evelyn Johnson scored 18 of il i muse points. Helpful Hi As spring draws nigh, I'm getting this cra\ and bring back my trusty rod and reel and about time to do some serious fishing. South Carolina has some great spots to go are plenty of rivers, lakes and ponds. Now most of my friends enjoy fishing and being a I thought it would be nice to give USC stud< reeling in a bass or bream some tips. First, a word on tackle. I'm not much of a river fisherman, so I ter fishing--when I get the time-in ponds or lakes.

"It had to be our night," Johnson smiled. "Tonight, we just couldn't be denied. Everybody expected it to be a good game, but we were up. We were ready ." Johnson has been playing noticeably better the past few weeks. She has been playing like the "Sweet E" of old. "I'm just concentrating more," the amiable junior commented. "It's hard to explain or pinpoint. "Everybody's really playing as a team," Johnson analyzed. "Nobody has a bad attitude. When one person has a bad attitude, wl n..i 1 1 ii n- t n a *juiu?agiuub. dui everyuouy mai s nere now wants to play basketball." And play basketball they did. In the second half, the flat Lady Tigers showed signs of waking up. They woke up, but the Lady Gamecocks were having so much fun, there was just no way Memphis had a chance. Johnson admits that basketball is a little more fun these days. "My first two years, there was so much pressure on us," Johnson recalled. "Par-, sons was so demanding. And we were always in the public eye. "But now, it's fun again. It's finally all behind us." The Lady Gamecocks shot a blistering 65.7 percent in the first half with Johnson hitting on eight of 10 from the floor. They finished the night shooting 50 percent. Obviously, Kelly was happy with the shooting performance. Happy, not to mention shocked. "I couldn't believe it," he said, almost in amazement, rve seen tne men come out and shoot 65 percent but we never did. "I told them at halftime that we probably wouldn't shoot so well in the second half," Kelly said. "But I told them to go out and shoot with confidence.
