South Carolina will get its second
look at the Southeastern
Conference's leading scorer tonight
as Allan Houston and the
Tennessee Volunteers invade Frank
McGuire Arena.
Three weeks ago, the
Gamecocks had to go up against
conference scoring king Jamal
Mashbum of Kentucky. Since then,
the Wildcat junior has been passed
by Houston, the Tennessee scoring
machine.
Through 20 games, Houston has
tallied 446 points, pouring in an
average of 22.3 points a game.
Houston also leads the SEC in
free throw percentage. Houston,
who successfully makes 89.1 percent
of his shots from the line, narrowly
leads Vanderbilt's Billy
McCaffrey.
When not at the charity stripe,
you can often find Houston spotting
up outside the three-point arc.
He is third in the SEC in treys per
game and ranks 10th in the conference
in three-point Field goal percentage.
Controlling Houston will be a
must if die Gamecocks are to break
men inree-game losing sireaK.
Welcome 1
In case you are not ^
aware of it, junior
swimmer Jon Moore
has been charged with
having a device that |K
can cause damage by .
fire or other means I
after chemical bombs
exploded 'Friday night
in two Five Points Lbhhmi
establishments.
Three or four other
athletes, not all on the ROD R1
swim team, are also L??
under investigation, according to
Columbia Police investigator
Everette Smith.
The kicker of it all is that this
no-brainer would be allowed to
swim in the Southeastern
Conference Championships next
weekend in Arkansas if he can get
preliminary trial intervention.
What the heck is going on here?

However, the Gamecocks must not
forget about Corey Allen.
Allen, the Volunteers' 6-foot-6
forward, has been a force in the
paint this year for a Tennessee
squad lacking any scoring punch
behind Houston. Allen is the 19thranked
scorer in the SEC with an
average of 12.9 points a game.
Allen has also been a force on the
boards, ripping down an average of
six rebounds per contest, good
enough for ninth place in the SEC.
For the Gamecocks to end their
skid, they must receive the type of
outside bombing they got during
the Clemson game. Junior guard
Waide Franklin looks to receive
much more playing time after his
6-for-12 performance from the land
r\f tbrano
U1 UI1LLO.
Junior forwards Jamie Watson
and Emmett Hall must also continue
their dominant play. Watson and
Hall are 15th and 18th, respectively,
in the SEC in scoring. Watson
pumps in 15.2 points a game, while
Hall hits for 13.3 a night.
Hall must also be the monster on
the boards that he has been up to
this point. Hall ranks eighth in the
conference in rebounding, wiping
the glass clean for slightly more
than seven boards per game.

I guess swimming is making
more money than everyone b
thought. I'm arriving upon this h
conclusion because if we need Mr. a
Moore to compete next weekend, tl
we must be making some fat cash ti
from this guy.
Another thing: How did all these li
losers post bail? Not every college F
kid has a spare $7,500 that they p
could just throw around.
We should not dive in (pun Ii
intended) to any conclusions, ti
Maybe their parents put up the
