Transcript | Big "E" jumps center against Lew Alcin- dor in the Dome, left. Below, Coach Guy Lewis discusses game strategy with forward Theodis Lee. Cougar Cagers Tip Off Great Roundball Season The starting lineup averaged almost 6'7" per man, but only two starters were back. How quickly could they become a team? A South American tour helped develop Ken Spain and Theodis Lee into the players they were expected to be and the third new starter was junior college transfer, George Reynolds. No one had to be told what Don Chaney and Elvin Hayes could, they were proven stars. What about bench strength? This question bothered many fans. Could the five starters play 30 to 35 minutes a game and not get worn out? The only non starters with any varsity experience were guards Vern Lewis and Niemer Hamood. Who could come off the bench to give a rest to the big men? Melvin Bell, started in 1966- 1967, was out with a knee injury and frosh star Mars Evans, to be red shirt- ed, left the bench devoid of any strong reserves. These questions could only be answered in the games to be played. So it was a game of wait and see what happened. 176 |
