Hie Lady Gamecock basketball team
got what it wanted Monday night, they
just didn't get it as easily as they want
ed.
In a non-conference game that
wasn't decided until a technical foul
was called in the final minute, South
Carolina (9-9) knocked off East Carolina
67-60.
With USC up 63-60, ECUs Tricia
Peckham was called for an offensive
foul, which was her fifth personal foul.
That call brought ECU coach Anne
Donovan off the bench to question the
call. Donovan was given a technical

upset about the call.
"I didn't even know he [the referee]
had given me the technical," Donovan
said. When asked what she said, Donovan
replied "That's ridiculous' is what
I said to him. Now is that a technical
in the SEC? I don't know.
"It's unfortunate. Who knows
whether we would have won the game,
but it would have been nice to have been
able to be in the position to compete
at the end of the game."
South Carolina was once again led
by Miars and Annie Lester. Miars

with 13 points and 12 rebounds.
The Gamecocks opened up a 10point
lead in'the first half with a 7-0
run over 2:54 span.
The Lady Pirates battled back to
cut the lead to five points with 1:30 left
in the opening half, but a basket from
Donna Carr and a 3-pointer from Sara
Hadwin with :42 left gave USC a 32-24
halftime lead.
"We had good production from our
depth tonight and that's a real positive,"
USC coach Susan Walvius said.
"It was nice to have Sara Hadwin come
in the game and drill the three going
into the half. I think that was a key
point for us early."
The Lady Pirates opened the second
half with an 8-2 run to tie the game
at 34.
Keyed by baskets from Miars, Casie
Key and a 3-pointer by Lisa Williams,
USC went on an 8-0 run to open up
an 11-point lead.
The Lady Gamecocks held a ninepoint
lead with 2:52 left when Carr was
fouled and made the basket.
She missed the free throw and the
Lady Pirates were off and running.
East Carolina's Beth Jaynes scored
four straight points, and Jen Cox hit
two free throws with 1:16 left to put
ECU within three at 63-60. After missing
a shot, Peckham brought the ball <upcourt
and pushed off on Miars, drawing
her fifth.
Donovan jumped up off the bench
and voiced her displeasure, drawing
the technical.
Miars hit the two free throws and
Heather Godfrey hit two more free
throws to seal the 67-60 victory.
Walvius said she was happy with
the outcome, but not with the nerfnr
r I
mance. "I
thought East Carolina outplayed L
us tonight," she said. "I thought East
Carolina played hard. We were fortu- ^
nate to win the game tonight." a*

Coming off a big win against Geor
gia, the No. 14 Gamecocks (11-3, SEC
3-2) look to keep climbing towards the
top of the SEC with a victory over the
Tennessee Volunteers (11-3, SEC 1
3) who come to Columbia tonight foi
an ft n m tin-nff
The 'Vols may be the most im
proved team in the SEC as thej
have already matched their total number
of wins last season. One of those
wins came against No. 11 Ole Miss
who manhandled Carolina earlier this
year.
Tennessee will be missing some
key players due to injury. Centei
Charles Hathaway and guard DaShaj
Jones are out for the season. Hathaway
averaged 7.1 rebounds and 7.2
points per game last season.
Jones led the Vols in assists lasl
year and averaged 5.9 points per game
The biggest loss for UT is forward Tony
Harris. Harris is the Vols' leading
scorer for this season, averaging
13.5 points per game.
"They've had some injuries," USC
Head Coach Eddie Fogler said. "Yet,
they're 11-3 and whipped Mississippi
physically and mentally on Saturday
without those players. So certainly,
they are a team that is still very competitive."

Sometimes I wonder where my mind
is. I find myself sitting in class and daydreaming
about the days of the past.
We've all been in one of those boring
classes that you have to have toothpicks
handy to keep your eyes open.
Most people daydream about
what they are doing that night or who
they want to ask out. I don't find myself
doing that too often, which explains
a lot about my dating life. I find myself

and picking me out in class isn't the
challenging game it once was.
I found myself thinking of the exciting
things I've done since joining the
staff of The Gamecock as a freshman.
The first story I ever did was a profile
on basketball player Bud Johnson. I remember
how nervous I was talking to
the 6-foot-10-inch hoopster from Eau
Claire. But as I got to know him better,
I realized he was a normal guy who
wasn't as intimidating as I thought he'd
be.
It was two years ago to this day that
the article was published, and since
then I've risen from a staff writer to assistant
sports editor and to sports editor,
where this is my third position at
the helm, along with my boy Ace.
