IF YOU'RE HUNGRY FOR THE WOLVES, GET SET TO PONY UP $$

          The T-Wolves announced their '98-99 ticket prices
     Monday, with increases in most seat locations ranging from
     15-25%, according to Steve Aschburner of the Minneapolis
     STAR TRIBUNE.  Team President Rob Moor: "Clearly, increasing
     ticket prices has to do with increasing expenses.  Payroll 
     -- I don't think we can duck that issue -- is one of the
     increasing expenses."  The largest increases will be felt by
     ticket holders in the lower bowl, where fans will pay from
     $4 to $30 more next season.  Upper-level seats will go from
     $17 to $25, $32 to $33 and $17 to $19, with $10 seats
     remaining the same (STAR TRIBUNE, 2/24).  Other increases
     include: $194 to $225, $77 to $102, $50 to $63 and $32 to
     $40.  The T-Wolves have 14 ticket categories in all (Ray
