Crouse and Jackson added scoring and assists on of- fense. Freshmen big men Bret Mundt, Steve Tiszai, and Doug Boots gave the Wildcats tremendous depth while part time starters Mark Eldridge and Bill Judon, another senior, gave Bethel the lifts it needed in tough situations. Ftedshirt Kirt Nienaber and freshman guard Mike Cooper rounded out the Cat roster. Bethel was coached by Mike Neinaber and Jimmy Young. 140
