use get Gamecocks fall t By ANDREW BORGERT Staff Writer The South Carolina men's basketball team found out firsthand who the best team in the SEC is Saturday, as they were thoroughly trounced by the Kentucky Wildcats 108-82. The key to the Wildcats success was their tenacious full- court press. Their constant pressure led to 22 turnovers by the Gamecocks. Coach Steve Newton said, "Their press was as effective as any we've seen all season." Terry Bynum was quick to agree. "They send two or three guys at you, and that makes it hard to see the floor," he said. Kentucky came into the game with the reputation for shooting the three-pointer, but, against Carolina, it was their interior play that made the difference. Centers Rodney Dent and Gimel Martinez combined to score 33 points and rip down 11 rebounds, and forward Andre Riddick added six rebounds and two blocked shots. The play by these three took pressure off star players Jamal Mashburn and Rodrick Rhodes. Mashbum came in to Saturday's game averaging 22.7 points a game, third in the SEC. He ended nn with onlv 15 noints in the same. *T J ? O ' but also had a team-high eight rebounds and four steals. Rhodes, one of the top freshmen in the country, finished with 17 points and three steals.
