232 Athletics BASKETBALL Theodis Bealer once again escapes the grip of a Harding opponent. plished. They’ll work harder because they’ve won, and will want to keep on winning.” At the start of the season, UAM was lightly regarded around the AIC, but Barnes was optimistic. He had one super talent, Theodis Bealer, the league’s best guard, and surrounded him with exper- ienced players who knew their roles and got the most of their athletic ability. Joining Bealer in the backcourt were guards Jeff Johnson, who provided steady floor leadership, and Darrell Rhodes, who became one of the league’s best shooters. Joey Anders, at 6-5, the smallest center in the AIC, gave the Wee- vils rebounding strength inside, while for- wards Karl Smith and Larry Robinson provided deadly shooting from the wings. The Weevils opened poorly, with a 51- 49 loss at home to Belhaven. “‘I didn’t realize it at the time,” said Barnes, “‘but that loss probably did us more good than a win. It made us work harder.” UAM rebounded with an easy 89-73 win over Wisconsin-River Falls, then trav- eled to Springfield, Mo., where they won the Evangel College Classic Tournament, Karl Smith reaches up for a chance at a bucket.
