Gamecocks down

Two undefeated basketball teams will put their records on
the line tonight in a matchup at Carolina Coliseum.
South Carolina, 2-0 after a 79-68 victory over Marylandbased
Tow son State Saturday, will meet the 4-0 Bulldogs of
The Citadel.
"The Citadel is one of the best shooting teams I've seen in a
while," USC head coach Bill Foster said. "And Regan
Truesdale is an uncanny shooter."
TRUESDALE, A 6-4 senior guard-forward, led the
Southern Conference in scoring last year for the Bulldogs,
averaging 22 points per game. Last year's Southern Conference
player of the year, he was also the league's third

leading rebounder with an 8.1-per-game average.
In The Citadel's 93-72 thrashing of Georgia State Saturday,
Truesdale contributed 20 points and 12 rebounds.
Foster said Truesdale is not the only threat to his club,
however. "The team plays smart...and scores a lot of points,
about 97 points per game."
For the first time in three years The Citadel has won its
opening four games. Tonight's matchup with USC begins at
7:30.
ABOUT THE Gamecocks'l 1-point victory over Towson
State Saturday, Foster said his team played well, at times.
"Basketball is a game of hills and valleys, and the key is to
keep out of the valleys," he said.

A five-minute "valley" early in the second half saw a
15-point Gamecock lead narrow to just three points to make
the score 51-48. USC was outscored 14-2 in those five
minutes.
"We really got sloppy with the ball there in the second
half," Foster said. 4Our defense wasn't nearly as effective...and
they were able to shoot much better."
BUT THE first half for Carolina was a different story, all
hills. After scoring the first five points of the night, the
Gamecocks led by as much as 17 points in the half, which ended
USC 43, State 28.
"I thought in the beginning we played well. Things came
very easy to us," Foster said.
The beginning of the second half, however, was all Towson
State. After shooting only 38 percent from the floor in the
first half, the Tigers improved to 59 percent in the second.
Tiger head coach Terry Truax was pleased with his team's
second half effort. "I have to credit our kids with the second
Half r-nmplvipl " hp caiH
4WE STARTED getting perimeter shots...and allowing
South Carolina only one shot, not giving them easier
baskets."
But after a USC time-out with 12:02 remaining and a
baseline layup by 6-6 junior forward Linwood Moye, three
points was the closest State was to come to catching Carolina.
"I thought we recovered well from the ''ne out," Foster
said. "Moye and (Michael) Foster made some key baskets
that really helped us coming down the stretch."
Moye was high scorer for the Gamecocks with 21 points,
