Wofford Tbps Lions 74-59
by Gene Holdway
It all started
with the Catawba
game. The win one—
lose two spell has
struck. The Lions,
2-4 since the Christ
mas break, just can't
seem to get on track.
Their latest defeat
was a 74-69 loss to
Wofford in Spartan
burg, S.C., last Sat
urday night.
The Lions held se
veral six point leads
in the first half and
led at half-time 29-
28. They came out to
control most of the
second half tempo and
had a 12 point lead
with five minutes
left to play. For
Wofford, things began
to happen behind the
hot shooting from Se
nior wing-man Billy
Hicks. One minute
later, all-American
candidate Joe Bridges
was charged with his
fifth foul and our
inside game was gone.
Bridges finished with
25 points. Led by
Hicks, Wofford staged
a great comeback and
tied the game by the
end of regulation
play. Kenny Ward
wasted no time in
putting the Lions up
by two in overtime—
they were to be our
last two as Wofford
scored seven straight
points.
There were some
bright spots for us
in the game. Junior
Forward Mike Earwood
scored 16 points for
his season high and
made some great feed
passes to Bridges for
more points. Those
who saw the game
would have to say
that this was Ear-
wood's finest perfor
mance at MHC. Also,
Senior . Jerry Hayes
showed that he is al
so a rebounder, pul
ling down 12 in the
first half. He also
made some nice passes
to Bridges. Of
course Bridges can
turn almost any pass
into an assist.
The only thing we
seem to be lacking is
what Coach Gibson
calls "The Killer In
stinct." We seem to
be afraid of beating
the other team "too
bad" and end up let
ting them come back.
It has happened a-
gainst Catawba, UNC-
A, and now Wofford.
Let's hope that we
can turn it around.
Here are a few
things to look for
ward to as I see it.
A strong comeback and
turn-around by the
entire team; more
scoring from Jerry
Hayes; Joe Bridges
will be an all-Ameri
can (1st Team); con
tinuing good play by
Earwood, Graves, and
Ward; a Carolinas
Conference Tourney
Championship; and no
more head-shaking
technicals for Coach
Lytton (take that,
UNC-A).
