gave the team a record of 5-2 for the
season.

Gamecocks face

USC's men's basketball team returns to the friendly eonfines
of Carolina Coliseum tonight to face Metro Conference
opponent Southern Mississippi at 7:30.
And the Gamecocks probably couldn't be happier.
Carolina, which lost 77-71 to Tulanc Saturday in New
Orleans, La., has had more than its share of problems on the
road. USC has not won an away game since Jan. 3, 1984, compared
to a 9-1 record at home this season.
ALTHOUGH THKY beat Louisville 72-63 at home Jan. 16,
the Golden Eagles arc having their own troubles this season,
losing close games to Metro leader Virginia Tech Jan. 19
(72-68) and Cincinnati Jan. 21 (59-58).
And despite Southern Mississippi's 6-11 overall record,
USC head coach Bill Foster said his squad can't take the S
Eagles lightly.
.? I
"They had a tough one-point loss to Cincinnati, but they
played very well in beating Louisville at home," he said. J
"Southern Mississippi is a very scrappy team, and they arc j.
very physical up front."
The Eagles are led by point guard Casey l-isher, who is ^
averaging 14.8 points a game in Metro action, The 6-2
freshman scored 16 points in Southern Mississippi's 72-63 win
over Louisville Jan. 16, and in the Fagles' 82-60 loss to Memphis
State, he pumped in 22 points.
AS A team, Southern Mississippi is shooting 46.3 percent
from the field and yielding 48.3 percent by opponents. The >
l-aglcs arc shooting 61.3 percent from the foul line. They are \
averaging 67.4 points per game and giving up 69.6 per outing
and they lead in rebounding by 35.8 to 35.7 per game.
Saturday's game was the same old story for the Gamecocks,
as USC continued its year-long losing streak on the road.
The Green Wave almost blew a 23-point lead in the second
half when Tulane's reserves took over. Carolina staged a comeback
and drew within six points in the final minutes before
the Wave's starters returned and held on for the victory.
Clyde F.ads and Jon Johnson led Tulane's attack, as each
scored 15 points. Johnson also pulled down 14 rebounds.
ALSO CONTRIBUTING to the win were David Dominique i
and Marcus Hamilton, who scored 12 points apiece. John
Williams, last year's Metro player of the year, added 1(1, ,
points. * ?
Center Mike Brit tain led the Gamecocks with 14 points,
while Linwood Moye and Jimmy Hawthorne each added 10.
At 2-3 and still fourth in the Metro, USC dropped to 9-6
overall. Tulane, 9-8, improved to 2-4 in the conference, but remains
in seventh place, just ahead of Florida State, which has
yet to win a Metro contest.
Southern Miss defeated the Seminoles Saturday, 77-63.
After tonight's game against the Eagles, USC's next opponent
will he FSU Saturday at Carolina Coliseum.
The Game: Southern Mississippi (6-11) vs. USC (9-6).
The Place: Carolina Coliseum, 7:30 p.m.
I V,1' ' ' ?
Hoping to- rebound from yet another loss on the road,
the Gamecocks take on the Golden Eagles tonight in Metro
Conference action. Casey Fisher, a 6-2 freshman guard is
expected to lead Southern Miss.
