The South Carolina men's has- R
ketball team showed a pulse of life El
over Christinas break but still saw
itself lose SEC games to Arkansas
and Auburn. vThe
Gamecocks returned from
their short break to participate in
the Abdow's Hall of Fame Classic,
where they defeated a well-regard- 131
ed Alabama-Birmingham team in
the first round 75-68. Troy McKoy
led the Gamecocks, scoring 18 ?
points, and netted the game-lying
three-pointer that triggered a 10-0
Gamecock run to close the game.
The next night Carolina was
stuffed by the host team, the
Massachusetts Minutemen, by the A
score of 84-66. The killing blow in L<
the game came in the first half, as A
UMass forward Tony Barbee M
scored 19 points on 8-of-8 shoot- A
ing. Carolina was never able to tie q
the game.
Upon returning to Columbia, s
Carolina played host to Mercer. A
Surprisingly, the Bears gave the v
Gamecocks all they could handle,
and Carolina's poor free throw A
shooting once again proved to be a Ui
key to the game.
Leading by live with under two
minutes remaining, the Gamecocks we
missed the front ends of two one- fin
and-one chances while Mercer hit a wi
pair of free throws to cut the lead
to three. The Bears then tied the mi
score on a Kenny Brown three- gi\
pointer with 22 seconds remaining vie
in the game. vie
Carey Rich proved to be the
hero of the game when he nailed a the
12-foot jumper in the lane with the
five seconds left on the clock, the
Mercer was unable to get off a fin
shot, and the Gamecocks escaped
with a 68-66 victory. ag
With the Mercer game fresh in tet
their minds, the team traveled to thi
Knoxville to open the SEC season ini
at Tennessee. Emmett Hall led the ah
Gamecocks with 18 points and 10 tar
rebounds, while Tennessee was vi<
carried by All-America forward
Allen Houston's 31 points and nine str
rebounds. wl
Trailing by one midway through fir
the second half, Jamie Watson hit a co
jump shot that gave Carolina a lead es
they would never relinquish. They as;
