(Staff photo.) By GRANT LONG In the early morning hours of Monday, Oct. 23, Wesleyan cel ebrated a ritual practiced on thou sands of college campuses across the land. Midnight Madness. A packed gymnasium got a sneak preview of the 1995-96 Men’s and Women’s Basketball teams. There was plenty of excite ment when Wesleyan’s cheerlead ers took the floor and pumped up the crowd. When the midnight hour struck the gym lights dimmed and all the basketball hopefuls were introduced to the crowd.

The Lady Bishops have quite a few players returning from last , years squad and a great mix of new talent. Prediction: look for the Lady Bishops to win between 16-20 games and have a strong showing in the Dixie Inter-Athletic Con ference. This team is just as tal ented as the 93-94 team that made the NCAA Tournament. After a great game by the girls the men’s team had a tough act to follow. The men’s team also put on a great show, but it was Randy Little who stole the spotlight on this night. Little scored 17 points and had a plethora of rebounds. The only thing that might hinder the men’s team is that they have only five returning players from last year. Prediction: The men’s team is capable of winning 12-15 games this year. They can win more if the team chemistry strengthens over the season. The men will also put on a strong showing in the Dixie Inter-Atlantic Confer ence. The key to this team’s suc cess is how well the first year players will perform. ago defeating Methodist; 15-6, 15-5, 13-15, 15-7, and losing to Averett; 5-15, 3-15, 13-15.
