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

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.

"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,

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. If they went in, keep
