"This is the poorest showing we've played the whole year," 71-year-old Ray Meyer said. "I've never seen a team stand around like this before." DePaul came out and scored the first 10 points of the game keeping Carolina scoreless for the first four minutes of the contest. IT WASN'T until Mike Brittain hit a 10-foot jump shot at the 10:52 mark that Carolina made their first field goal. "They created some of the turnovers," USC head basketball coach Bill Foster said. "They played good defense although we had something to do with the turnovers. "We didn't play with a lot of poise in the first eight minutes, but I was proud of the way we ramp A '- r - iui ui icams would have folded." Meyer said, "The lead came too easy for us. We tried to get substitutes in when we had a big lead, but the players we put in we're never in the game. We played in two speeds: slow motion and Waltz time." MKYER SAII) he had let up on them in practice and that may have been a reason why they played so poorly. Carolina nipped away DePaul's 15-point firsthalf lead with strong inside play by Brad Jergenson, who scored eight points and pulled down seven rebounds. "We told them to make it up one basket at a time," the USC coach said. "They shut Jirnmv J (hoster) down in the first half (three points), but he came on strong in the second half," Jimmy Foster came out in the second half and scored 14 points in a 17-7 run the Gamecocks made to help them close within three points.

The Gameco :oach disappoinl responded with six straight points to increase thfc Blue Demon lead to nine points. "Tyrone is our leader and that's when he takes over," Jackson said. "But he wasn't in and someone had to take over." "That's one thing about this team," Meyer said. "They play when they have to." Jackson made both shots of a one-and-one with 1:58 to go to give DePaul a seven-point lead. Then Lemone Lampley put in a shot after a rebound and made a fine defensive play to put the game out of reach. "WE WERE not patient in the second half," I Meyer said. "I wanted to tell them that Congress I had passed a law that we could pass the ball two ' times before we shoot. I "The players got so lazy.
