The other problem of having players out of position should be solved with at least adequate depth. The Schedule Moving McGee and Cook to their proper positions should smooth out both offensive and defensive One of the top schedules of NCAA Division II problems. schools in the country. The Raiders meet 10 teams this season that participated in post-season tour­ nament action last year. As the Coach Sees It The season starts off with the second annual WSU Invitational with an impressive field. Wittenberg, Major Strengths last year's Division Ill champion, meets Baltimore, "Our biggest strong point this year could be the ranked sixth in Division II last year and a tourney leadership provided by our co-captains (Alan entry, in the first round, while the Raiders take on McGee and Bob Schaefer) and our returning West Virginia Wesleyan , which played in the NAIA juniors (Bob Cook and Dan Huguely).

Major Weaknesses "Any time there are no seniors on a squad , you will be a young team and that creates some situations when inexperience could be a problem. However, I think we have the players with sound fundamen­ tal backgrounds that can overcome that problem. While rebounding should be improved this year, it could pose some problems at times. We will not be overpowering on the boards, but we should hold our own against anyone on our schedule."
