Page B2-The Chronicle, Thurs : Rams lose t\ In Virginia Union, Gaines said, the Rams faced one of the finer teams in Division II and needed to be at the top of their game. "You just can't afford to give the ball to the other team," said Gaines. "Most scoring in basketball comes off mistakes. Virginia N^Uniori is one of the top teams in country and we certainly canVgjye the ball away." Now that the Rams have faced some of the tougher teams on their schedule, Gaines said he L?- ?mi i - minus nis icam win nave ume IC regroup for the second half of the season when it will face teams within the C1AA Southern Division. "We've played four teams oul of* the Northern Division and split with the two toughest teams," said Hayes. "Now we'vt got to get our guns together foi Norfolk State (Friday night in the C.E. Gaines Complex). ' ^ "Last year this time, we had only lost one game," said Gaines, "so we're running behind schedule. But we're looking forward to the second half of the season when we come back from Christmas break -'' Gaines is still experimenting with the Ram starting lineup and said he'll make more changes in the confrontation with Norfolk. "We'll show a new look again this week," he said. "We'll use two guards and get more big people inside. So far it doesn't look like our kids want to go to the boards, so we'll try to get another hie man in fh*? oamp " - -c o? Though last week was disappointing to Gaines, he said he did see some encouraging signs. "(Eugene) Pennick shot the ball? well? against?
