After dropping a 61-59 overtime decision
to Clemson University Saturday, USC's
men's basketball squad will face
Metropolitan Collegiate Athletic Conference
leader Memphis State University tonight.
Tl,n 1
*nt iwu aiiuaui iiici earner mis year with
MSU defeating the Gamecocks 75-58 in
Carolina Coliseum.
MSU is led by All-America forward Keith
Lee, who averages 16.8 points and 10 rebounds
per game. Shooting 55 percent from
the field, he is second in the leagues behind
USC center Mike Brittain in blocked shots,
averaging 2.2 rejections.
GUARD PHILLIP Haynes and forward
Bobby Parks also pace the Tigers, averaging
12.5 and 11.1 points respectively, while point
guard Andre Turner leads in assists with 73.
Reserve center William Bedford is expected
to start in place of Derrick Phillips,
who is sidelined with a foot injury. Bedford,
averaging 6.6 points a game, scored 13 points
Jan. 18 to help lead MSU past Carolina.
"We were fortunate that Keith Lee did not
have a good night against us the last time we
played them, but that can't happen twice in a
row," USC head coach Bill Foster said. "I
was impressed with Memphis State's overall
ability to pick up the slack when Lee wasn't
playing well.
"Haynes, Parks and Turner really played
well against us, and Bedford killed us, not
only with his scoring, but also with his inside
game.
AFTER BUILDING a 10-point lead
against Clemson in the first half Saturday,
the Gamecocks appeared to be over their recent
shooting slump. But the Tigers were able
to rally and came back to tie the score at
31-all before going ahead at halftime, 33-31.

Gamecocks
ertime win
The second half was evenly paced, as the
iwo squacis exchanged baskets most of the
way. But with Clemson leading 58-56 with
five seconds remaining in regulation time,
Tiger forward Raymond Jones was called for
goaltending Jimmy Foster's shot, evening the
score at 58-all and sending the game into
overtime.
Both squads connected for a point at the
foul line during the five-minute overtime
period. When Clemson had posession with
12 seconds remaining, USC expected the
Tiger's final shot to come from Vincent
Hamilton, who had been hot all night from
the floor.
But Clemson forward Anthony Jenkins,
who had missed his three previous shots, was
left open and hit from the top of the key with
two seconds left to ice the game for the
Tigers, 61-59.
WITH THE win, Clemson snaps a sevengame
losing streak and improves to 12-9. The
loss evens Carolina's record to 10-10. As a
designated conference game, the Gamecocks
drop to 3-5 in the Metro.
"Hamilton really played well for them
tonight," USC's Foster said. "He looked
like he was having shooting practice out
there."
The coach said Hamilton's shooting performance
was why the team applied more
pressure on him in the final seconds, and left
Jenkins open for the shot.
Hamilton led the Tigers with 22 points,
while forwards Murray Jarmon and Raymond
Jones contributed 14 and 12 points
respecitvely.
USC's Jimmy Foster led all scorers with 23
points and 11 rebounds, while Brittain added
12 points and nine rebounds.

By Jeff Rogers
It took less than 24 hours for USC's
women s DasKetDan team to get over its 01-/J
loss to Clemson University, as it broke three
Carolina Coliseum records yesterday in
beating the University of Cincinnati 112-102.
The 214-point total set a Coliseum record
for most points scored by two teams in a
game, breaking the previous women's record
of 190 points in a 1982 USC-Clemson contest.
It also topped the overall record for
both men's and women's, breaking the men's
record of 201 points with Furman in 1971.
The other Coliseum record set was for the
most fouls committed by two teams, as 65
fouls were called.
USC HEAD coach Terry Kelly said his
team was relaxed despite its loss to (Jlemson.
"We just went out and played," Kelly
said. "We couldn't talk that much about last
night. We didn't have time to. They (USC)
seemed very relaxed when they were playing
and they played an excellent ballgame."
The Lady Gamecocks outscored Cincinnati
26-12 in the first 10 minutes of the game
and steadily increased the lead to 19 points,
when they led Cincinnati 53-34 at halftime.
"We executed very well in the first half
and through the game," Kelly said. "We
passed the ball extremely well on offense. It
was just a great show the whole game."
BRANTLEY SOUTHERS and Sharon
Gilmore led the Lady Gamecocks in scoring
with 28 points each, while Cincinnati's
Cheryl Cook led all scorers with 39 points.
Kelly said although Cook scored so many
points, his team defended Cincinnati accor
umg iu 1115) game pian.
"1 don't think you can keep Cook from
scoring," he said. "She's probably the best
one-on-one player in the country, and she's
going to get her points.
"The last time we played them, we shut
Cc .v down a little bit and she only got 18
points, but everyone else hurt us. Our main
concern tonight was to let Cook take her shot
while keeping some pressure on her, but at
the same time keep everyone else from hurting
us. We did a good job of that tonight.
KELLY ALSO said he was pleased with
the quick pace his team set in the game.
"I'd always like to see us fast break
more," he said. "We controlled the boards

"Cincinnati didn't get off two or three
shots each time down the floor, and that was
a difference in the ballgame."

The win put the Lady Gamecocks in first

USC plays host to Memphis State
University tomorrow in another Metro
contest.

KELLY SAID his main concern was over
Memphis State's Regina Street, whom he
called one of the best inside players in the
nation.
Kelly also said he doesn't want to let Street
score as many points as Cook, because Street
shoots mostly from inside the foul lane.
"I don't want to give anyone shots from
the blocks (inside) because it's such a high
percentage shot," Kelly said.
Game time tomorrow is 7:30 p.m.
