II team's doubleheader against
; should
f season
not be overlooked because of one bad
performance. Unfortunately that
one bad moment came on the wrong
day.
In a press conference Monday
afternoon several things were
announced concerning next year's
basketball team.
First of all the men's basketball
team has been invited to play in the
1997 Black Coaches Association
Tournament in Minnesota at the
beginning of the season.
Other teams invited were
Minnesota, Villinova and Maryland.
In the regular season the
Gamecocks will host both St. Joe's
and Cincinnati. They have dropped
Wofford and Charleston Southern
from the home lineup.
The team will also travel to
Greenville to take on in-state rival
Furman.
And they will also face two
undetermined teams at the Harris
Teeter Pepsi Challenge next year.
One of those teams will not be North
Carolina.
This year's baseball team has
to be compared to the Florida Gators
in football. The offensive firepower
of the baseball team is outstanding.
They have jumped from near the
bottom of every offensive category
in the league to the top of almost
every category.
The team has hit more homeruns
thus far this year than last year's
team did all of last year.
In addition, the Gamecock's
pitching staff has improved from
12th to 6th in the league. And their
defense has improved from last to
first in the SEC.
The Gamecocks are now 5-4 in
the SEC. Before the season they
were picked to finish in last place
in the league, but if they continue
to play well they will sneak up on a
couple of teams. They continue to
win and they will be a cinch of the
SEC Tournament this year.
Now is the time that most
sports fans ache. They know there
are only three games left this
weekend in the Final Four, and the
Spring Game is still three weeks
away.
But why not support the other
sports at South Carolina this spring.
Go out and cheer for them like you
did when the basketball team hit
the court this season. Cheer for them
like you did when Duce Staley scored
one of his many touchdowns this
past season.
And then go out and show your
support for the Gamecock soccer,
