Harding/Kerrigan Tonya Harding's ex-husband, Jeff Gilooly, 26, was arrested Wednesday and charged with planning the Kerrigan clubbing. Harding has not been charged, but her body guard, Shawn Eckardt, said she made phone calls to a rink near Boston to find out when Kerrigan was training prior to the attack. Eckardt said Gilooly told him that Harding "had stated that in the event she was ever questioned about them (the calls), she would say she had made those calls in an effort to get Kerrigan to sign a poster for a fan of Harding's." Harding's lawyer Dennis Rawlinson denied the claims. Upsets abound in college basketball In Charlottesville, Va., the unranked Cavaliers upset No. 3 UNC Wednesday 81-77.

In a game marked by poor shooting and turnovers, the : : 1 ?1? impueu piay ui juiuui /vuuy dumiin and a depleted South Carolina bench led the Gamecocks to a 64-62 victory over Tennessee. Bostick, who paced the team with 16 points, had two spectacular dunks late in the game, one which gave the lead back to South Carolina after having been down by 10 midway through the second half. The Gamecocks were also helped with a strong performance by sophomore Norm Greene and freshman Peter Van Elswyk, who had a strong second half in the paint after being pushed around in the first half by die bigger Tennessee front line. A poorly played first half ended with the Vols shooting only 38.7 percent from the field and the Gamecocks slightly better at 40.7. There were eight lead changes in the opening 20 minutes that ended with USC leading 33-30. Emmett Hall came off the bench to score eight points in the first half. Hall didn't start because of a poor Tuesday practice and was eventually unceremoniously yanked by coach Eddie Fogler in the second half. The Vols were led by forward Kevin Whitted who tallied 14 points on six of eight shooting in the first half. An early second half spurt gave Carolina a 37-30 lead, capped by a Men swimn From Staff Reports USC ?

The Gamecocks seemed to be ready to pull away from the Vols, but more turnovers, partly because of Tennessee's full court press, and cold shooting led to a Tennessee 10point lead with 9:12 remaining. Fogler benched Hall at this point, going with a rotation of Greene, Van Elswyk, Bostick, Jamie Watson, Carey Rich and Donnie Matthews. This was the second time in three games that Hall has been benched. Fogler said he was trying to make a point with Hall, while rewarding players who had given good efforts in practice and during die game. After the game, Fogler commented that Hall "did not practice very well yesterday." Coach Fogler was i also quick 10 tell why Durrant Williams was not at the game. Williams got back from visiting his girlfriend in Florida who had just had a baby, and was not able to practice or play. The Gamecocks did fight back late in the game. Tennessee's Cortez Barnes, the player who was the center of attention in USC's probation before transferring to UT, hit a three-pointer to give the Vols an eight point lead widi less than eight minutes to play. Rebounds by Van Elswyk and a few steals by Bostick helped the Gamecocks cut the lead.
