; From Staff Reports
Memphis State learned its lesson
the last time the Tigers faced USC.
In that Januarv contest at Frank
McGuire Arena, the Gamecocks
were sucessful in dictating a slow
tempo and almost pulled off an upset
? MSU's Elliot Perry hit a
3-po inter at the buzzer to win it for
the Tigers.
- On Saturday, the two teams met
again at Mid-South Coliseum in
Memphis. The Tigers, determined
from the outset to push the ball upcourt,
ran away from USC, 90-71.
Memphis State jumped out to a
15-4 lead in the first 4:07 of the
contest. They were leading by 15
with 1:54 remaining in the half,
but USC went on a 6-2 run to
close out the half trailing 41-31.
But Memphis State would come
out of the locker room ready to put
the Gamecocks away before the
game had a chance to go down to
the wire again.
The Tigers only missed one shot
in the first eight minutes of the
half. Memphis State outscored the
Gamecocks 29-13 during the run.
By the time the run was over,
MSU had turned a 10-point halftime
lead into a 70-41 rout.
Memphis State had four players
in double figures, led by Elliot
Perry's 18 points.
Senior Eric Sykes led the way
for USC with 21 points, and Jo Jo
English added 18. Freshman Chris
