Time stopped for about 40 seconds
Saturday night at the Carolina
Coliseum.
Despite junior Waide Franklin's
team-high 20 points and Clemson's
Sharone Wright, Wayne
Buckingham and Chris Whitney all
fouling out, the Gamecocks lost in
overtime 89-84 at Frank McGuire
Arpnn
The loss dropped the Gamecocks
to 8-11 this season.
South Carolina played a sloppy
first half, scoring only 26 points
and committing 10 turnovers.
Clemson had 12 turnovers, but
made up for them by shooting 50
percent from three-point land.
Clemson owned the inside during
the first half, out-rebounding
South Carolina 23-16. South
Carolina's inside offense was neutralized,
and the Gamecocks could
not make up for the inside game
with perimeter shooting. South
Carolina shot a meager nine of 27
from the floor.
In the second half, it looked as if
Clemson was going to make this
game a rout. The Tigers opened up
a 19-point lead by going up 49-30

i^neaney,
Normally, we
would begin with
our favorite pastime,
which is, of
course, Tar heel
Bashing! But NANCY
since they looked SALOMONS!
oh so impressive
against hapless TONY SANT
N.C. State (notice
the dripping sarcasm), we decided to
give it a rest this week. Just this
week!
We feel compelled to begin by
talking about the No. 1 Hoosiers
from Indiana. IU continued their
winning ways with a 73-66 victory
in Iowa City over the No. 8
Hawkeyes. The only real concern for
Indiana now is to make certain they
do not "peak" too early. Remember,
it IS only one month until March
Madness begins.
Kentucky looked very impressive
in their 82-67 revenge win against
Vanderbilt. They are clearly No. 2
for now.
Now we would like to switch
gears for a moment and talk about
who some of our favorite players
have been to watch this year. These
are the players who make us act like
Dick Vitale when they do something
spectacular.

with Franklin's three-pointers and a
slew of Clemson turnovers, i
Carolina systematically chopped \
away at Clemson's lead.
Then it happened. Time stood 1
still. I
Clemson's Devin Gray's free 1
throws with 7:50 left gave the
Tigers a 59-47 lead. j
Gamecock senior Chris Leso hit
a 10-footer from the baseline, and (
7:50 was still on the clock.

First, some players who c
[49 sometimes get overlooked: \
How can anyone overlook
someone as large as Rodney I
Rogers? Did you see the T
"360-degree dunk from t
KY & heaven?" Mr. Rogers' t
"neighborhood" is anywhere e
OR I he wants it to be, and you a
should call him Mister. 1
Duke forward Grant Hill has c
impressed us as much as anyone. (
Hill is probably the most athletic g
player in college today. Just think g
about what would happen if he had a ii
consistent jump shot. Can you say, t<
"Move over and make room, Mr.
Jordan?' E
You saw him live and in E
Technicolor at the Coliseum just two E
weeks ago, and he continues to do v
the "Monster Mash" all over the h
SEC. We speak of Jamal Mashburn. I
You think he looks large from the E
stands? He is positively frightening li
from press row. Jamal will be one u
rich man very soon.
Has there ever been anyone more N
born to play this game than Chris ji

He's got finesse. He's got a great ^
jumper (listen up, Grant!). Most ^
importantly, he's got Jalen Rose.
