and got 3-pointers on others.
Carolina came out on fire in the
second half as they went on a 8-2
run in the first four minutes of the
half. The lead reached seven at the
53-46 mark when Larry Davis hit
another 3-pointer to up his scoring
total to 19 at the 15:30 mark.
The Bulldogs rattled off four
straight points and the game seesawed
back and forth until the 6:33
marlf uiKon T arrv Havio Viic lact
points (24) of the game. With that
shot, Carolina looked to be in control
with a 67-61 lead.
A BJ McKie free throw seconds
later gave USC a 68-61 lead.
What happened next was not
pretty.
Harrison for three, Chadwick for
three and Harrison for three; in the
blink of an eye the Gamecocks had
gone from controlling the game to
being controlled. Those nine-straight
points gave the Bulldogs a 70-68 lead
and their faithful a reason to get
loud.
"Harrison was terrific tonight,"
Fogler said. "Those three 3-pointers
in a row really hurt us tonight."
"What we did tonight was let them
get into a rhythm," Watson said.
"[Harrisonl started to get the feel
there and he just started nailing
them."
With 3:36 left, William Gallman
was fouled on a shot, but missed both
his free throws. Those shots could
have tied the game at 70. Instead

nning streak
the score was still 70-68, and
remained there at the 3:33 mark
when McKie missed the front-end
of a one-and-one.
Georgia mounted a 74-68 lead
before Watson hit a jump shot to cut
the lead to four. Then off a Larry
Davis steal, McKie took the ball to
the hole to make the score 74-72,
Bulldogs, with 33.6 seconds left.
The press was on after a
Gamecock timeout and it appeared
Chadwick walked with the ball, but
was granted a timeout instead.
After all the excitement of the
last few seconds wore off, the
Gamecocks stood on the short-end
of a 77-74 score. The crowd rushed
the floor, and the USC fans in
attendance stood in shock as the 12game
winning streak ended.
But the Gamecocks are still 111
in the SEC and 17-6 overall. They
still have a one game lead over
Kentucky, and a chance to once again
show the nation they are for real
when they travel to No. 8 Cincinnati
Saturday.
"It was a tough loss for our team,"
Fogler said. "I am pleased with our
effort offensively. We are still in a
position to accomplish some of our
goals that this team has."
However that chance will be all
for naught if they can't rebound and
score instead.

MARK P1RAS Staff Writer
ine u&u baseball team naa a
pretty good day Wednesday,
destroying Davidson, 22-1*.
Davidson was playing their first
game of the season, and it showed.
The defense made four errors, the
offense recorded only one run, and
the pitching gave up 18 earned runs.
Davidson shortstop Ben Brown
made three of the errors, but also
recorded one of the team's two hits.
USC pitcher Jake Whitfield
dominated opposing batters for five
innings, tallying six strikeouts and
allowing no runners to reach first
base safely. He left the game after
the fifth inning with the perfect
game still intact and the Gamecocks
leading 17-0.
Ryan Bordenick continued his
early-season success at the plate,
going five for five with three runs
scored and four driven in. He leads
the Gamecocks with 15 RBIs.
Mike Curry pulled ahead of
Bordenick in home runs, driving
his fourth homer to deep right field
with two on and one out in the
second inning. Curry also drove in
four runs to raise his total to 13,
right behind Bordenick.
Catcher Rob Streicher and second
baseman Ryan Szwejbka had three
hits each.

but gave up the game's first hit to
Davidson's leadoff hitter, Brown.
Poston retired the next three
batters in order. Steven Bray pitched
the seventh perfectly, and Pat
McCance allowed a walk in the
eighth but the runner was erased
on a double play.
Rob Watson had some problems
findincr the nlate in the ninth
walking three batters and allowing
a single to Gus Quattlebaum that
scored Luke Goodwin for Davidson's
first and only run.
Just for fun
The Gamecocksiplay 56 regular
Reason games this season. Although
the competition down the road will
surely be tougher, it is still fun to
play with the numbers a little bit.
Ryan Bordenick has 3 home
runs and 15 RBIs in only four games.
At-that pace, he would have 42
homers, 210 RBIs and bat .765.
Mike Curry would be right with
him. Curry is on a pace to hit 56
homers.
The Gamecocks play this
weekend at the Citgo Southern
Challenge, where they will meet
Furman, ETSU, and the Citadel.
The next home game for the team
is Wednesday when they take on
Charleston Southern.

ranked No. 1 in the nation all year.
On his goals for the rest of the
year, Snyder said, "I want to get
healthy and win the NCAAs."
"I'd eventually like to win the
Olympics," Snyder said.
Big-time competition is not foreign
to Snyder's family.
His mother ran in the 1972
Olympics at Munich. His father
played football for the Pittsburgh
Steelers in the 1970s.
"I'd like to follow my father's
footsteps, not becoming a football
player but a professional athlete,"
Snyder said.
To attain the standards of his role
models and achieve his own goals,
Snyder trains for about five hours
each day, two hours throwing and
three lifting weights.
During practice, he works on his
technique. "Technically, I'm not very
good. If I work on that and build
strength, TO get better," Snyder said.
Snyder credits Judge with having
the most impact on his career.
"If not for Coach Judge, I wouldn't
be throwing as far," Snyder said.
Between training and
competitions, Snyder said he finds
time to study his major, criminal
justice, read Tom Clancy novels and
rest.

The backcourt is led by senior
guard Damon Flint, who averages
9.9 points per game.
Guard Darnell Burtor. has made
a clean sweep of Cincinnati's career
3-point shooting records. The 6-2
senior has career totals of 277 treys
in 700 attempts.
Burton also had a school-record
streak of 51 straight games in which
he scored at least one 3-point goal.
It's likely the Gamecocks will
have to play a perfect game to beat
the Bearcats.
According to the latest NCAA
stats, Cincy was ranked eighth in
scoring offense, third in field goal
percentage offense, fifth in average
scoring margin and third in average
rebound margin.
Individually, Fortson is ranked
12th nationally in scoring; 17th in
rebounding and fourth in field goal
percentage.
The Bearcats have held all but
nine of their foes this year under the
40 percent mark in field goal shooting,
and has held two opponents under
30 percent Cincy has a 38.9 defensive
field goal percentage.
