great job. I was impressed with
what they did at the end of last

Austin could see more minutes this season
By Mark Bryant

March Madness, '93
TheFresnoStateBulldogshave
just upset BYU to claim the WAC
championship and go on to the
Sweet 16 in a storied Cinderella
year. To say the least, it is a proud
moment for FSU basketball. As
the 'Dogs leave the court, camera
crews are trained on De Andre
Austin, the Bulldog point guard
who has been instrumental in the
team's success. They're trying to
get him to say he's going to
Disneyland. But instead, he has
all the BuUdogs at his side as he
says "Me and the 'Dogs are going
to the Super dome for the Final
Four!"
It just might happen. Whether
the FSU men's basketball team
will make reservations for New
Orleans remains to be seen, but
Austin w il 1 most likely be the key
to the team's season and post
season at point guard.
A6'3,175-pounder, Austin has
all but nailed .down the starting
two guar^spot this season as a
sophomore. He made an impact
last' year as he saw considerable
action in all 31 Bulldog contests.
Austin usually played about 12
minutes a night and averaged 3.3
points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists
per game. His off-season was
dedicated to hustle and it has paid
dividends in '92-'93.
Going into the season opener
last week against The Son's Blue
Angels, coach Gary Colson made
it clear that the starting roster was
wide open.
