Controversial
in Lady Gam
By JOANNE KORTH
Staff writer
CLEMSON ? "I didn't see the
play," Clemson women's head
basketball coach Annie Tribble
said of a controversial call in the
closing seconds of the Tigers'
62-61 victory over the I.ady
Gamecocks Saturday night at
Clemson.
With 35 seconds left in the
game and USC leading 61-60, the
Lady Gamecocks inbounded the
ball under their own basket
against a full-court Clemson
press.

Ballou that went out of bounds
and appeared to remain in USC's
possession. But the referee
awarded the ball to Clemson, ruling
it hit Ballou's shoulder and
went out of bounds.
"I don't think it was even close
to being the right call, not even
close," USC women's head
basketball coach Nancy Wilson
said of the play.

Janet Knight resulted in a layup
and a one-point Clemson lent!
with 11 seconds left.
USC called a timeout, moved
the ball across halfcourt and called
timeout again with seven
seconds remaining to set up a
final shot.
Wilson said the first option
was to get the ball to Brantley
Southers and the second option
was Williams, but neither was
open. Ballou took the inbounds
pass, dribbled to the top of the
key, then went right and tried a
10-foot bank shot that bounced
off the rim. Clemson got the rebound
with three seconds left and
ran the clock out to preserve the
win.
"They're a good team; we're
playing them in their gym, and
we're playing as hard as we can,"
she said. "I think our girls did a
good job."
USC fell to 1-3 on the season
with the loss.
The Lady Gamecocks started
out somewhat cold on offense

CLEMSON ? USC men's
basketball coach Bill Foster could
only express frustration after seeing
his team lose to Clemson
Saturday, 73-66 in overtime, in a
game USC led most of the way.
"I'm sick about it, just absolutely
sick," Foster said. "I'm
really proud of our guys. They
(Clemson) had it when they needed
it."
USC took a 4-2 lead with 17:48
remaining in the first half and
never trailed until Clemson guard
Grayson Marshall made a layup
with 9:54 left in regulation, giving
the Tigers a 48-46 lead.
USC came back, taking a 50-48
lead on a layup by Darryl Martin
with 8:24 remaining, and 52-50
on two free throws with 7:23 left.
But the Gamecocks missed

the lead.
Clemson forward Horace
Grant, who set career highs with
17 points and 17 rebounds,
scored on a layup with 7:07 remaining,
and the Gamecocks

The Gamecocks had to go the
length of the court ? Terry ^
Dozier got a long pass about 35 "
feet from the basket, but slipped
and fell on the floor and couldn't
get a shot off.
USC controlled the tap to
