Grabbing the rebounds for USF will be Terrence Moore (6'7" 270lbs) and Russell Hinder (6'9" 230lbs) as the two should see action at the four and five spots. In the exhibition against Five Star Sports, Hinder put in twelve points and logged the most minutes for USF at 37. Moore played a more limited role at seven minutes, but still managed to get seven boards. USF will also look to freshmen Hondre Brewer (6'H" 225lbs) and Eugene Brown (6'9" 220lbs) to log big minutes and contrib­ ute to the rebounding effort. Adding some outside shooting skills will be Derek Christensen who red-shirted last season as a freshman. At Iolani High School in Hawaii, Christensen led the Honolulu Scholastic League in scoring during the 1996-97 season. Catching up on last year The 1997-98 squad lived up to everyone's expectations despite starting the WCC with a 3-5 record. After finding their rhythm, the Dons won their last three WCC games, fin­ ishing at 7-7 and tied with Portland and St. Mary's for the fourth spot.

Why not put together a schedule so laden with top teams that hilltop faith­ ful have almost an upset a week, and sometimes more, to look for­ ward to. Well, that's exactly what USF did for the 1998-99 men's bas­ ketball season. Unlike most small schools, who get maybe one or two shots a year at the big boys, the Dons will tip it off with a handful of the nation's top teams before they begin West Coast Conference play. In fact, USF will play at least five teams who advanced to the NCAA Tourna­ ment last year. While extremely demanding, the low risk/high re­ ward slate promises loads of pre­ season excitement for every Don Juan. Forget football, this Thanksgiv­ ing Day will see the Dons take on UCLA in the opening round ofthe Puerto Rico Shootout. Like USF, the Bruins are a young team lead by two outstanding guards.

The more experi­ enced Lady Dons will return four starters as they attempt to advance to the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time in five years. On the long road will be home game dates against perennial pow­ ers Notre Dame and Stanford, plus a visit to the Oakland Coliseum for a showdown with Cal. These non- conference matchups, four of which are against NCAA Tournament teams, will be good indicators as to exactly how much the Lady Dons matured during last year's 10-17 campaign. The games will also give USF fans a chance to see some na­ tional title contenders before the Fi­ nal Four comes to the San Jsse Arena in March. Notre Dame will visit Memorial Gym Nov. 28, on its way to what the Irish hope will be a national cham­ pionship. ND returns four starters off of last year's 18-8 squad that ad­ vanced to the "Sweet 16." The Irish feature a well balanced offensive at­ tack of inside power and outside ac­
