The team has adapted well to coach Eddie Fogler's system and have come together as a team. One problem Fogler will have for the rest of the season is playing with nine players. The team is short of players because of self-imposed sanctions, which decreased the number of scholarships. The depleted bench doesn't allow Fogler to give his starting players adequate rest during a game. USC has played three games this season that have gone into overtime. The Gamecocks came out victorious twice but fell to Campbell after coming back from a double-digit deficit during regulation. The previous season's game against Tennessee in Knoxville went into double overtime before the Gamecocks won 111-107. This year, the Volunteers are trying to accommodate for the gaps left by lost letterman Allan Houston, who averaged 22.3 points per game in 1992-93; Corey Allen, who led the team in rebounding with seven a game; and Lang Wiseman, who averaged 10.4 points a game.
