Terps beco second AC By JEFF NICHOLS Staff writer For most of us, exams begin Friday. But the USC basketball squad got an early test of versatility Monday night, and they responded by turning back previously unbeaten Maryland 57-51 at the Carolina Coliseum. In the early going, it seemed as though Bob Wade s Maryland team had done its homework as the Terp's matchup zone stifled USC's offense. But the Gamecocks looked to their own defense to carry them past the Terrapins to capture their third win of the season. "It wasn't easy and it wasn't pretty .. . but it was a good win for us," Head Coach George Felton said with a hint of both satisfaction and relief. "Offensively we were a little out of synch, but our defense came through and made some big plays for us toward the end of the game. It was a great learning game with a lot of hard work involved " The Gamecocks came into the game shooting a blistering 65 percent from the field and averaging 93 points a contest. But the first half would see USC's offense slowed to the tune of 38 percent shooting from the field. For the game, they shot a paltry 39.7 percent. Meanwhile, Maryland would shoot a respectable 50 percent from the field in the first half and still find themselves in a 29-29 tie at halftime. Credit that to USC's ball-hawking defense that introduced a freshman named Jo Jo English to Wade and his coaching staff. After Maryland built an early 21-13 lead, the Gamecocks came hacV with 1 1 11nqnctx/prpH nnintc In that stretch, English stole the ball twice and slammed it home both times. The last dunk brought the crowd of 8,908 to its feet and put USC on top 22-21 with 5:47 remaining. Then, the former Lower Richland standout added two free throws after a Maryland timeout to make it 24-21. In the second half, USC would rely on zone pressure defense to defeat its second Atlantic Coast Conference team in 48 hours as Maryland could only hit 10 of 33 shots in the final 20 minutes. For the game, the Terrapins shot a cold 38 percent from the floor. But it was six missed shots from the line by Maryland down the stretch that proved to be the difference. Also, 20 turnovers, including eight steals by the Gamecocks, didn't help.

I me USC's ZC victim a while and took them out of their offense," Wade said. "Missed free throws definitely hurt us. We also need to start protecting the ball better." The hero for the Gamecocks near the end of the contest was sophomore j shooting guard Barry Manning, who scored USC's final five points. With 33 seconds remaining and USC attempting to inbound the ball against a Maryland press, Manning broke downcourt, took a baseball pass from Terry Dozier and put the Gamecocks on top 54-48 after a j monster slam and free throw I conversion. Then, with just 17 seconds left, j Manning struck again. This time he . stole the ball in the backcourt and converted a layup to give the Gamecocks a 57-48 lead which proved to be all the points they would need. "Barry Manning came along at the end and made some big plays, as did Terry Dozier," Felton said. "It took teamwork and effort tonight, and I thought we got it." Before Manning's heroics, Dozier had also stolen and dunked, much to the displeasure of his former high school coach, Bob Wade, who praised Dozier after the game for "having grown not only as a basketball player, but immensely as a person." Freshman Jerrod Gustaf led the way for Maryland, scoring 13 points on six-of-15 shooting. Tony Massenburg added 10 points for the 3-1 Terrapins. The Gamecocks were led by forward John Hudson with 15 points. Manning and Dozier both added 12 points. "I want to compliment Maryland ! on their game plan and our kids on 1 their effort," Felton said. "Hopeful- a ly, this game will help us down the stretch."

Dozier's fo impressed I }y BOB ZAFFRANN itaff Writer The USC men's basketball victory >ver Maryland Monday night was, or Terry Dozier, a return to his roots - sort of. The flamprnrkc HpfpatpH thp Tpr apins 57-51 at the Carolina Colseum, but the twist for Dozier was hat his high school basketball coach ind mentor, Bob Wade, was on the >pposing side of the court Monday light. Wade is the coach of the now 3-1 Maryland Terrapins, 1-1 lifetime gainst USC, but just a few years ago le was coaching high school basket all at Dunbar High School in laltimore and his star pupil was 'erry Dozier. After the game Monday night, Vade said about Dozier, "I can't say nything but positive things about im. He showed enthusiasm and kept is teammates in the game." Wade ited the USC co-captain's "big lay" in the final minutes, which got lie crowd of 8,908 on their feet. Wade was referring to Dozier's reakaway steal and resounding stuff t the other end with 2:15 remaining l the game, causing the crowd to exlode and putting USC ahead, 52-46. The 6'9" senior also contributed a aseball in-bound pass from nderneath the USC basket to the inning Barry Manning, who comleted the play with a slam, putting ISC out of reach at 54-48, with 32 :conds left to play. "It's always this way when we play ach other," Dozier said, regarding is former coach. He thought about /ade before and after the game, he lid, but once the game started, he asn't conscious of him.

They kept fighting back." Dozier, for most of the game, defended against Maryland's 6-10 freshman center, Jerrod Mustaf, who led the Terrapins with 13 points. Mustaf, however, was only six of 15 from the floor overall, including one of three from three-point range. Dozier said, "I couldn't respect his jumpshot. I didn't know he had it." Dozier is off to a slow start this year statistically, having shot only 31.3 percent from the floor and 40 percent from the free throw line, and averaging 6.0 points and 4.0 rebounds per game coming in to Monday's contest. These are not the kind of numbers Dozier, who moved to 19th place on the all-time USC scoring list with 1,112 points after the Clemson game, is accustomed to producing. - However, even when Dozier isn't averaging 14.6 points a game, hiscareer figure at USC, he still plays a vital role on this team, as he did Monday night. His contribution was his leadership, determination and enthusiasm which help, as Wade pointed out, to keep his younger teammates in the game. Dozier had his best scoring game yet this season against Maryland, hitting six of 11 from the field and totaling 12 points and five rebounds. After the game, Wade admitted it was hard seeing one of his own help beat him. But Wade added that Dozier had become both an outstanding player and an outstanding person in his time at USC. niwn himmbhSSih letrists Assistants rherapists Professionals n attractive offer - outstanding s for professional development, ictice and time to spend with ur country.
