SDSU Basketball Team Opens With Exhibition

The San Diego State basketball team, under rookie Coach Tony Fuller, begins its 1992-1993 schedule at 7:30 tonight with an exhibition against the Melbourne Tigers, a touring team from Australia, in Peterson Gym.

Melbourne, on a United States tour, played UCLA on Nov. 16 and lost, 92-80, in Pauley Pavilion. Andrew Gaze, who played on Seton Hall’s 1989 NCAA tournament runner-up team, is playing for Melbourne and had a game-high 29 points and seven assists against UCLA.

The Aztecs finished with a 2-26 record last season, the worst in school history. They return four starters and nine lettermen from that team.
