HOUSTON ? Philadelphia guard
Vernon Maxwell was sentenced to
90 days in jail after failing to meet
court orders on a marijuana possession
charge.

quickly to file an appeal, making it
unlikely that the 30-year-old would
see the inside of a jail cell just yet.
Maxwell said nothing as County
Court-at-Law Judge Don Jackson
issued the sentence ? three times
the punishment sought by prosecutor
Lance Long.
Last Oct. 30, Maxwell pleaded
no-contest to a misdemeanor charge
of marijuana possession. He was
ordered at the time to complete drug
rehabilitation and submit to regular
drug testing, requirements he failed
to meet Maxwell also Med to return
more than 25 telephone calls made
to him by the Harris County probation
office.

spent 28 months out of the sport.

The Carolina men's basketball
team will seek to rebound from
Saturday's 89-57 loss to Kentucky
tonight as they host the Wofford
Terriers (1-13) at the Frank McGuire
Arena.
Before Saturday, the Gamecocks
were riding a three game SEC winning
streak. In the previous two weeks,
Carolina nipped Vanderbilt in OT,
mauled Alabama and shutdown once
top 10 Mississippi State.
The latest Rating Percentage Index
released has the Gamecocks at number
12 in the nation. The index is used
by the NCAA to make the selections
and seedings for the NCAA

The RPI is a combination of
Division I winning percentage,
schedule strength and opponent's
schedule strength. The Gamecocks'
schedule is currently rated as the
nation's toughest.
