Commodores control momentum
in overtime to keep the
Gamecocks at bay.
RYAN WILSON Sports Editor
It has been proven in basketball that
a missed shot can be just as devastating
as a made one when a game is on
the line. The USC men's team found that
out Saturday night as it lost to Vanderbilt
91-83 in front of 7,947 at Frank
McGuire Arena.
What would have been a spectacu
lar dunk by Andy Bostick turned into a
3-pointer on the other end for the visiting
Commodores. About a
minute and a half of the overtime
period had expired when Jjf
Bostick went up strong on a Jjj
fast break but missed the dunk.
Had he scored, the Gamecocks
(7-15,3-10) would have
had a three-point lead over /aL
Vandy, and the momentum '
would have been all South Car- > i ^
olina's, but the Commodores |j?
(12-10,6-6) grabbed the errant BOSTICK
shot and nailed a 3 to claim a

time. The Commodores led the rest of
the game.
"That was a big play," USC coach
Eddie Fogler said. "Not that it cost us
the game, but it was a big play. It was
a tough loss for us and a good win for
Vanderbilt, but our guys tried hard, so
I'm not too disappointed. The effort was
good."
The game opened with Vandy scoring
the first four points. Malik Russell
put the Gamecocks on the board with
18:00 left in the half, with USC scoring

With 16:47 left in the half, Vandy hit
a 3 to take back the lead, which it kept
for most of the half. Vandy pulled away,
but never led by more than six for the
next eight minutes. The Commodores
were up 25-19 with 8:47 left in the half.
The Gamecocks went on a 10-0 run
over the next three minutes to take a
29-25 lead with 5:53 left Twelve seconds
later, Vand/s Ronnie McMahon was
fouled while taking a 3. He hit two of
three from the stripe to close the lead to
29-27.
The Commodores cut the lead to one
with another free throw, but Ryan Stack
hit a 3 to give Carolina a 32-28 lead. Russell
made another free throw, but Vandy

finished the half on a 6-0 run to retake
the lead at 34-33.
Vanderbilt used an early 9-4 run in
second half to take a 43-37 lead with
17:20 remaining in the game. A Carey
Rich 3-pointer cut the lead to three, and
the Gamecocks tied the game at 46 on
a Stack dunk with 14:05 left.
The Commodores again took a small
lead, but a Rich 3 tied the game at 51 at
the 12:13 mark. Vandy answered with
back-to-back 3-pointers, with Rich answering
with another 3 to cut the lead
to one at 57-56 with 10:27 left in the
game.

With 4:30 left in the
game and the score 70-68 in
favor of the Commodores, USC
went on a 7-4 run and took fhe
; lead at 75-74 off a trey by
Melvin Watson with 37 seconds
left in the game.
To secure the win, the Gamecocks
had to play tight on the hot-shooting
perimeter players, which left the middle
open for Vandy's Chris Woods. The
6-foot-ll, 25&-pound center, who buhied
the Gamecocks for 27 points, managed
to get the ball and dunk, but he also was
fouled from behind by Peter Van Elswyk.
Woods made his free throw to give Vandy
a 77-75 lead.
Watson got the inbounds pass, drove
the length of the floor and made a high
banking layup with four seconds left to
tie the game at 77. Without the foul on
Woods, the victory would have been
USC's, but Fogler attributed Van Elswyks
foul to just playing hard in a gamewinning
situation.
"That's big, sure," Fogler said. "He
fouls a dunk from behind. I mean, ifs
simple math. He was just trying hard,
but ifs a stupid foul. You don't foul Woods.
You take his arm off and make him have
to make the free throws."
In overtime, William Unseld hit a 3
to give USC a 80-79 lead, but Bostick's
miaapH Hunk took awav the momentum.
Vandy outscored the Gamecocks 12-3 to
take the 91-83 win back to Nashville.
