Total fouls- Mem Memphis State's Cathy William: second too 2 provement in the team over the past year," Blank said. "He's a revamped player from last year and is a key inside player for them." Salley averages 12 points and eight rebounds a game. He has 58 blocked shots and shoots 58 percent from the floor. "When he gets inside he's almost unstoppable," Blank said. "What we're coine to do is deny him the ball when he goes inside." 14 He (Salley) and Yvon Joseph (Yellow Jacket center) give them two players 6-11, and that helps their outside shooters." OUTSIDE SHOOTERS at Georgia Tech include sophomore guard Mark Price. Price averages 16 points a game, and also leads the team in assists with 91. Price shoots 52 percent from the floor and almost 80 percent from the line. "His shot selection has become much better over the year," Blank said. "He's looking to pass more this year, and without all the defenses keying on him he's getting better shots." Blank also said the addition of freshman guard/forward Bruce Dalrymple has added to the squad's success this season. I "IF WE put a guard on him, he'll post them up," he said. "And if we put a forward on him, he'll go outside. "He has this knack for stealing rebounds from players. He's a garbage man. We are going to be very aware of him when he's on the court." Dalrymple averages 14 points and seven rebounds a game. Blank said one weakness in the Yellow Jackets is that Salley and Joseph have a tendency to get into foul trouble. "WE'RE GOING to take inside against them," he said. "If we get the ball into Jimmy (Foster) or Mike (Brittain), we want them to give their big men head fakes, and get them into foul trouble." "That's what really hurt us against Memphis. We didn't go inside with any authority." Blank said one of the biggest improvements from last vear's Tech team k the players' confidence. "The whole team attitude is much better this season than last," he said. "What they do best is go inside, and then kick it back out to Price and let him shoot, and we know what kind of shooter Mark Price is."
