The Gamecocks coasted to what M
USC basketball coach George Fel- ca
ton labeled an "easy" 85-57 vie- sc<
tory over the Davidson Wildcats nu
Wednesday night at Belk Arena in th<
Davidson, N.C. ^1
"I didn't expect it to be this
easy," said Coach Felton after the sa'
win. tal
"I think they made it easy for an
themselves," said Davidson coach
Bob McKillop. "Their defense ev
forced us into bad shots but shoot- ^
ing below 20 percent in the first
half doesn't help." ea
The Wildcats had an extremely laj
sluggish start They fell behind by Er
a score of 9-0 and didn't hit their wj
first basket until about five and a in
half minutes into the contest.
Freshman guard Jason Zimmer- W;
man broke the scoring drought for tie
Davidson at 14:45 in the first half pc
with a three-pointer. USC then gr
scored on a short jumper by for- rel
ward Joe Rhett. Davidson responded
with another three- m<
pointer, this time by Davidson ju- pi;
nior guard Paul Denmond.
USC then committed a costly pn
turnover. To make matters worse, Di
a foul by Jeff Roulston sent Zimmerman,
the Wildcats' best shoo
ter, to the line for two shots. With I
13:05 remaining in the first half,
Zimmerman hit both shots to cut
ine uamecocK ieaa to only three
points, 11-8.
Zimmerman followed another
Rhett jump shot with two free
throws, this time courtesy of a Bo
Popovic foul. Davidson once again

Staff writer
Elliot Perry, the lightning-quick,
do-everything point guard for
Memphis State, is definitely a familiar
face for the USC basketball
team.
In three Tiger victories over
USC this past season, Perry scored
a total of 57 points for an average
of 19 points per game.
The most heartbreaking loss of
all occurred in Frank McGuire
Arena this past season. With four
seconds left, the Gamecocks took a

one point icau aiicr iwu iree
throws by Erie Sykes.
On the ensuing possession, USC
guard Bojan Popovic slipped near
midcourt leaving Perry wide open
to shoot a 22-foot jumper from
three-point land at the buzzer to
defeat the Gamecocks 74-72, in
front of 9,000 heartbroken USC
fans.
The win was the first in Columbia
under Memphis State head
coach Larry Finch, breaking a
, three-game losing skid at Carolina
Coliseum.
"We can't go up with revenge,
though," said Joe Rhett after the
Davidson win. "We're still trying
to win the regular season in the
Metro, and I believe we've got the
team that can do it."
This season is not a reflection of
the one a year ago. The Gamecocks
are coming off an impressive
road win against Davidson,

85-57.
A sellout crowd of 11,200 is expected
to be on hand Saturday at
uper Bowl
To compare the two, Buffalo
starter Jim Kelly is the highest- i
rated quarterback in the NFL while
Hostetler ranks below even Bill
second-stringer Frank Reich. (Will
it be long before people start praising
the Kelly/Reich combo the <
way people have praised Montana/ i
Young?) ;
.Beyond the passers though, the
Bills dominate in almost every
other category too. Leading the
ground attack for Buffalo is running
back Thurman Thomas, who
was first in the AFC in rushing
with 1,297 yards this season and
arguably is the best all-around
back in pro football today. Buffalo
averaged 130 yards per game as a
team in '90. The Giants are close ^

the Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis,
Tenn. USC (14-4) will be
taking on the Memphis State University
Tigers (9-7) in a Metro
Conference matchup. The Tigers
lead the series 12-5.
Memphis State has posted conference
wins over Louisville and
Tulane while losing conference
matchups to Virginia Tech and
Southern Mississippi on the road. Anyone
familiar with the USC
program knows the starting five is
made up of four local town heroes
from the Columbia area, with the
fifth product, Jeff Roulston, from
Summerville. Memphis State will
have their own share of local heroes
in their starting lineup Saturday
night.
USC's backcourt of JoJo English
and Barry Manning, both from
the Columbia area, will match up

of Memphis.
Forwards Michael Glover and
Joe Rhett, another pair from the
Columbia area, will match up

Earnest Smith and Anthony Douglas,
also from Memphis.
Center Jeff Roulston will go
against center Todd Mundt, a
7-foot, 240 pound product of Jackson.

This game is very important for
USC as the Gamecocks need to
gain some ground on Metroleading

game will be broadcast live on the
Gamecock Sports Radio Network,
including WVOC-AM 56 in
Columbia.
Sunday
behind, though, with veteran running
back Ottis Anderson leading a
ground game that averaged 128.1
yards per game.
Bill receiver Andre Reed is both
fearless and peerless. (Is there anyone
more lethal going over the
middle?) New York's receivers
aren't worth mentioning.
For all the hype and attention
given to Giant linebacker Lawrence
Taylor, the best pass rusher
in this game is defensive end
Bruce Smith. With apologies to
"LT," (who is a bona" fide future
hall of famer and worthy of menLion
along with the elite defenders
of all time, Dick Butkus and Joe
Greene) Smith has simply had a
better season. Smith registered 20
sacks this season to LT's 10.5.
The one area the Giants do ex:el
at over the Bills is pass coverage.
Veteran Giant cornerback
Everson Walls gambles at times
but is always capable of making
the big play. His six interceptions
were third in the NFC this season.
He and his counterparts won't get
any rest against Kelly and Reed on
Sunday, though. The Bills will win
24-17.
The New York Giants and the
Buffalo Bills are set to clash at
6:18 p.m. this Sunday in Tampa
Stadium in front of a sellout crowd
of over 72,000. The game will be
broadcast live by ABC-TV, channel
25 in Columbia.
