...probably go with a starting backcourt lineup of Glenn Fine and Rich Bengel, both good ballhandlers. Cyrus Booker, a fine shooter, and team captain Gary Ackerman, a strong rebounder, will fill the forward positions. Brian Banks, a dominating force on both ends of the court, will round out the frontcourt as the Crimson center. Bob Hooft will be valuable as sixth man, spelling both guards and forwards...
From that point, the game settled into the expected pattern, as the Eagles utilized their frontcourt power and the shooting of Carrington to pull away to what was to be their largest lead of the night...

At other times the patterns resulted in low percentage shots out of the corner or broke down completely into a pass-to-the-frontcourt-go-one-on-one attack that never involved more than two players at a time...

The possible savior of the backcourt corps is Leo Sculley, captain of this year's freshmen, who according to reports is the best guard seen around here in years...
