The ‘71-72 season features games with 17 University division opponents (up from 11 last year), a home-and-home series with Marshall University, and dates with Mississippi State, Tulane, Loyola of New Orleans and Oklahoma highlight the contests. The 49ers will undertake a 25-game slate, that includes East Tennessee State, Appalachian, South Florida, Valparaiso, OePaul, University of Tennessee-Chattanooga, and LSU-New Orleans, the nation’s lop-ranked college division team this past season. A phenomenal seventeen home games are planned, with eight road games (the last three away) completing the basic schedule. Fourteen home contests will be in the new gym and three contests 3re slated for Charlotte’s Coliseum. “Our 1971-72 schedule will be tar more challenging than that played in our first year,’’ stated 49er head coach Bill Foster. “Last year we surprised a few people, but this year everyone will be ready for us.” Last season Foster compiled a surprising 15-8 first-year record in NCAA competition. Losing only one senior to graduation, and gaining four frosh students, the 49ers next year will be strong enough to handle anybody in the NCAA. A quartet of returning veterans will form the core of Foster’s team next year. Senior guard Jerry Boggs, last season’s team leader, directed the attack from the point position while averaging 11.8 points per game. Center Harold Thames averaged 11.4 and 6.8 rebounds, while hustling Terry Sloan won a starting slot in mid-season and finished with a 6.6 scoring mark. Norris Dae, a 6-5 senior forward, is expected to play a big role in UNCC’s 71-72 battles. Dae holds the school career rebounding mark in addition to snaring team leading-scorer honors vjrt rabi' 1 Ucdnesday 4 Saturday 6 I'onday 11 Saturday 21 Tueaday 4 Tueaday 8 Saturday 12 Vednesday 15 Saturday 17 Monday 21 Friday 22 Saturday 24 Monday 27 Thursday 29 Saturday 31 Monday 5 Saturday 8 Thursday 12 Saturday 16 Wednesday 19 Saturday 23 Wednesday 26 Saturday 29 Tuesday 4 Saturday UNCC BASKETBALL 1971-72 Tusculun College Austin Pesy St. Unlv.
