w snap a two-game losing streak in defeating
Southern Mississippi's Golden Eagles, 90-72,
in Metro Conference action Monday night at
Carolina Coliseum.
The Gamccock Metro victory, before a
sparse crowd of 3,888, evened the team's
conference record at 3-3, and boosted its
overall record to 10-6.

Sloppy play and the lack of rebounding
plagued the Gamecock* and made it hard for
USC to score anything other than first-shot
% baskets. The team totaled only three offensive
rebounds to 12 defensive rebounds by
the l-aglcs for the half.
Williams, a senior forward, was the main
Southern Miss scoring attack with 14 points,
converting on a wide range of shots, from lay
ups to 15-footcrs.
Carolina pulled to within one near the end
of the half, 35-36, when Tom Steirle iank
two free-throws. The tiaglcs closed out the
scoring for the half on a 12-foot, fast-break
jumper. The score was 38-35, Southern Miss,
