Iddie Fogler said. "If you watched their

I thought defensively that we were
really pretty good," Fogler said.
Carolina's defense held the Vols to
a meager 29.5 percent from the field.
At 33.3 percent, Tennessee had a higher
3-point percentage than field goal
percentage. Both were nothing to write
home about.
Not only did UT have trouble shooting
the ball, they had trouble just getting
it to the other side of the court.
With 19 steals, USC set a new school
record for the most steals in a game.
This eclipsed the previous mark of 15,
which was set in 1993 against Georgia
and Ole Miss. The Gamecocks also
forced 28 turnovers, one shy of tying
the school record. UTs turnovers led
to 31 points for Carolina.
"I thought our defense was the key,"
Fogler said. "It gave us a lot of opportunities
on the fastbreak."
The start of the game was anything
but fast, especially for USC. Six minutes
into the first half, only 17 points
had been scored, and Carolina was down
by five, 11-6. But from this point on,
the Gamecocks dominated their opponent,
outscoring the Vols 33-9 up to
half-time.
For six and a half minutes in the
opening half, Carolina held UT score
less while scoring 16 straight points.
In the midst of this scoring onslaught,
Bj Mckie gave USC the lead at the 11:50
mark on a basket plus a free throw.
Never looking back, the Gamecocks led
for the rest of the half, and the game,
by as much as 32 points before winning
by 30.
A major factor in USC's win was
LeRon Williams. Coming off the bench,
Williams scored a team-high and personal
best 25 points. But Williams
wasn't limited to scoring. He set a personal
record in rebounds with nine,
which was also a team-high on the night.
"It [my performance] was pretty
good," Williams said. "I have to give a
lot of credit to the guys. As far as Georgia,
I didn't get any looks, and I was
kind of disappointed, down on myself.
Coach said quit acting like a baby, tough
it out, and just come back and play.
That's what I did."
Unfortunately for Williams, the next
two games for USC are on the road.
Away from the Coliseum, Williams is
averaging only three points and two rebounds
per game compared to 14.2
points and six boards at home.
"I have no idea [why I play better
at home]," Williams said. "I thought
about that tonight. It must be when I
lift"K "A|?''V

I can convert and play well on the
road."
One player who plays well no
matter where the contest is held is Mckie.
Finishing with 20 points and five assists,
Mckie stated that this win was

"If you want to get back on top
and want to stay in the race [for an SEC
title], you have to win at home and win
some on the road," Mckie said.
The next game for the Gamecocks
will be on the road as USC travels to
Auburn for a 3 pm tip-off tomorrow
against the Tigers (11-5,3-2 SEC).
On the same night USC pounded K|
Tennessee, the Tigers lost to SEC-West
rival, No. 22 Arkansas.
Despite losing to the Razorbacks,
Auburn has had a fairly successful start
to their season. The Tigers are only five
games short of matching their total
wins of last year. Two of their 11 wins
