"Our record is not where I expected it would be by all means, but the development of our players is about where I expected. Some have developed faster than I had hoped, others slower. Archibald said he has especially been impressed with the play of the newcomers particularly guard Gale Gondrczick, forward Jerry Stroman and center Greg Dodd. One weakness of the Utes is size, and the loss of one big man, Dean Raymond, has hurt the team. 44 We'll just have to adjust,' Archibald said. "Dodd has helped some in the rebounding category, but he needs to do better defensively." The Lobos are coming off a 10-- 6 finish last year in the WAC good enough to earn them an NIT invitation. They are 4 this season. 5-- feS lotos O non-leag- ue 6-- "New Mexico is a very quick basketball team," Archibald said.
