U.S. Basketball Team to Play in Titan Gym

The U.S. Olympic men’s basketball team has scheduled a final exhibition game to be played in Orange County before the team departs for Seoul.

The team, led by Hersey Hawkins, Danny Manning and David Robinson and coached by John Thompson, will play Athletes in Action Tuesday at 8 p.m. at Cal State Fullerton’s Titan Gym, the school announced.

The Olympic team has been on an exhibition tour playing against National Basketball Assn. players. The Olympians are 5-1 against NBA competition.

The Athletes in Action team includes Lorenzo Romar, who played four years in the NBA with Golden State and Milwaukee; former Cal State Long Beach player Michael Wiley and former Cal State Fullerton player Kevin Henderson, who played for the Cleveland Cavaliers last season. The game against the Olympic team will be the season opener for AIA.

Before the game at Titan Gym was scheduled, a game Saturday in Las Vegas was to be the final exhibition. But William L. Wall, executive director of the Amateur Basketball Assn. of the United States, the sport’s governing body, contacted Fullerton athletic department officials Monday, and an agreement was reached Tuesday, the school said.
