CLEMSON ? The conditions
were right.
As USC Head Coach George
! Felton said after Clemson's 83-65
drubbing of the Gamecocks Saturday,
he has only two guards.
So going into the annual intrastate
mateVinn at Plpmcnn'c T ittle
IUIV lliuiviiup Uk V1V111JV/11 |J i-?iiuv
i john Coliseum, Felton had issued a
; full-court press watch.
'r When Clemson couldn't estab>
lish dominance in the first half, it
- was upgraded to a warning.
And as the second half opened,
the Tigers' full-court press finally
hit and hit hard.
The damage was devastating.
Using a 1-2-1-1 full-court press
to cause one USC turnover after
: another, the Tigers, 16-5, turned a
basketball game into their personal
! slam-dunk contest with Dale Davis
' and Elden Campbell battling it out
i for dunking champion.
The Tigers went on a 9-0 run to
1 open the half with six of the points
* coming off dunks. The most spec1
tacular was an Elden Campbell
one-handed spike dunk off a Ma!
rion Cash missed jumper.
That one set the tone for the reI;
mainder of the game.
l thougnt maybe we were mtimidated,"
Felton said. "Conser
quently, that was the end result.

We got whipped."
If they weren't dunking the ball,
they were at the free throw line or
scoring layups after steals. The Tigers
didn't score from the outside
until sophomore guard David
Young hit a 3-pointer to make it
56-38. That shot came 10 minutes
into the half.
But then it's tough to shoot
from the outside when the rim's
shaking. The Tigers racked up
eight dunks in the second half.
The dunks resulted from the defensive
pressure. You didn't need
Dick Vitale to see that
"If I were coaching against us,
I'd definitely pressure us fullcourt,"
Felton said. "I've only got
two guards.
Only two guards and a front line
that was no match for Campbell
and Davis.
They've got two of the best
front-liners in the country," Felton
said.
Battling a stress fracture in his
left foot and a nagging flu bug,
Davis led all scorers with 22
points and 17 rebounds. Campbell
scored 18 points and Young added
10.
"Dale Davis had some kind of
basketball game," Clemson Head
Coach Cliff Ellis said. "His play
and Derrick Forrest's defense were
the keys to the game."

The Gamecocks, 10-7, were led
by sophomore Jo Jo English and a
Jeff Roulston who scored 12 points
each. Michael Glover had 10.
In the first half, minus the
Clemson press, the Tigers had only *
one dunk. They found themselves
facing a USC team that, given an
opportunity to take their time and
set up their offense, could play
with die Tigers.
After building an eight-point
lead on a Sean Tyson tip-in with
9:00 remaining, USC battled back
to cut the lead to just two. An Eric
Sykes bank shot made it 23-21
with 4:53 remaining.
"I thought we made a real run |
there in the first half," Felton said.
