In the frontcourt Jones will have to replace forward David Tompkins, a second team All-Ivy selection who graduated. One answer is Jason Williams (1.1 ppg, 0.8 rpg), a senior whose greatest asset could be the fact that two players in the National Basketball Association also have his name.

Besides Williams, Jones will look to sophomore forward Brad Reusch (4.1 ppg, 1.3 rpg) to establish himself this season. Senior forwards John Kirkowski (1.9 ppg, 1.6 rpg) and Ted Smith (3.4 ppg, 2.0 rpg) will provide leadership.

Junior center Neil Yanke (9.2 ppg, 6.9 rpg) will play in the paint for the Elis.

8. Columbia

The Lions (10-16, 5-9, 6th) are in a rebuilding year, as Coach Armond Hill will probably start no one with more than one year of Ivy playing experience.

In the backcourt Hill will have to replace guard Gary Raimondo, a second team All-Ivy choice last season. The point guard will be sophomore Victor Munoz (1.9 ppg, 16 assists) who was highly recruited out of high school before partially tearing his ACL in his senior season.

Munoz will be joined at shooting guard by a committee of four freshmen--Egan Hill, Brad Johnson, Jaime Irvine, the son of Detroit Pistons assistant coach George Irvine, and Billy Raftery, the son of television analyst Bill Raftery.

In the frontcourt Hill will choose between a trio of sophomore forwards in Craig Austin (6.3ppg, 2.0 rpg), Joe Case (2.3 ppg, 1.4 rpg) and Mike McBrien (5.6 ppg, 4.3 rpg). Freshman Chris Wiedemann should start at center.
