TUESDAY, FEBRUARY $ ' 1968 i THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE E TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 6,1988 THE MICHIGAN DAIlY PAflK WINK it BREAK LOSING STRING Cagers Streak Past Minnesota, 113-01 By RICK STERN Associate Sports Editor 1 * * * * * * Hitting 58 per cent from the floor and 80 per cent from the line, Dave Strack's rapidly im- proving Wolverines won their first Big Ten game in more than a year, drowning hapless Minnesota 113-101 last night. It was the first conference win o ever for Michigan in the new Events Building and also the first since February 4th of 1967, when they beat Purdue 86-74. The win pushed the Wolverines over the Gophers into ninth place. Michigan is 1-5 on the season, Minnesota now 1-6. ' Hustle Helps The Wolverines, led by the backcourt hustle of .guards Jim Pitts and Ken Maxey, forced Minnesota into 12 first half turn- overs, enough for a 58-52 inter- mission separation. Pitts had 19 points in the first 20 minutes, in- cluding seven of nine from the foul, line and six of eight from the field. It wasn't the first time in the past 14gamesthat Michigan has had a lead, but it was the first time that they cushioned It' in- stead of dissipating it. It was the hot hand of Dennis Stewart that put the margin over ten after Just three minutes of the second half. In a ninety second span the Pennsylvania junior put through three straight 15-footers to render sterile the zone' the Gophers had employed to try and keep Pitts and Bob Sullivan off the baseline.

The Blue overpowered the Gophers 113-101. Maxey contributed 10 points during the fray. The UCLA Bruins have cut Houston's first-place margin to a mere eight points in the latest Associated Press weekly major- college basketball poll. New Mex- ico State is the only newly-rated team. The unbeaten Cougars collected 25 first-plave votes to UCLA's eight in the voting by a national panel of 34 sports writers and broadcasters based on games through last Saturday. However, on a point basis, Houston leads the Bruins by only .322 to 314. The Cougars drew eight votes for second place while UCLA had 26 for the No. 2 spot. Points were awarded on a basis of 10 for a first-place vote, 9 for second et. Texas at El Paso, 11-4, received the other vote for the top spot, but did not gain a position in the Top Ten. North Carolina held third place followed in order by St. Bonaven- ture, Tennessee, New Mexico, Co- lumbia, Kentucky, Vanderbilt and New Mexico State. Houston beat Fairfield 108-76 and Marshall 102-93 last week, lifting its record to 20-0. UCLA, 16-1 downed Southern California, 101-67. North Carolina boosted its mark to 14-1 by defeating Florida State and Maryland. St. Bonaventure maintained its undefeated slate in recording its 16th victory. The Bonnies beat Villanova, 66-62, and moved up one place to fourth. Tennessee also advanced one position to fifth after defeating New Mexico slipped two notches to sixth.

He had 22 tallies in the second half, and tied for game high man with 30, including eight of nine from the line. Sullivan and Kenny Maxey didn't miss either. Sullivan fouled out unhappily With 12:35 left in the game, but not before he had put through seven of 12 high archers. On his fourth foul the red-faced, temperamental former high school great protested a little too vehemently and was called for a technical foul. Maxey, in addition to his high- handed backcourt thievery, hit five out of eight from the field, and was very close on the other downcourt for fast-break lay-ups after a steal. Minnesota's center Tom Kond- la, who killed the Wolverines in Minneapolis last year, was dan- gerous again and dominated the Gopher offense, making 13 of 30 shots from the floor. He finished with 30 points. Gophers Inept But when the pressure came on them late in the game, the Go- phers were inept. They trailed by Just 10 during most of the middle ten minutes of the second half, but could never build the momen- tum to cut the gap. In the last five minutes the1 Wolverine lead soared, and was 111-91 when the Strack began to empty his bench. Sipping a coke after the game, with a "how sweet it is" sign chalked on the blackboard, Strack bore the look of a man relieved of a burden or two. "It's hard to believe we went a year without winning. We're still pretty far down, but I can't help feeling elated. I think we've played hard- er games than we did tonight, es- pecially defensively, but I think we ran our offense as well as we ever have. Sullivan Pleasing Strack was especially cheered by Sullivan's performance. "Did you see him spot the open man at the post? And what about Pitts{ and Maxey on the press? They are good at that!" The shooting percentages were the highest in many years for a Strack-coached outfit. Stewart hit 10 of fifteen altogether, in perhaps the finest display of dead accuracy since his high school days. Tomjanovich with 11 of 21 was the lowest of the five main scorers and still was over the 50 mark.n BLOOMINGTON, Ind. W-Dan Andreas' 12-foot jump shot with one second left on the clock gave Ohio State, the Big Ten leader, a 78-77 victory over Indiana's Hoos- iers last night. Andreas' basket, his second of the night, climaxed a torrid second half in which first one team and then the other was in front. It came 10 seconds after Butch Joy- ner had given the Hoosiers the lead at 77-76 with one foul shot. Indiana led most of the first half, by as much as 11 points at one time, and had a 36-33 inter- mission lead. The victory boosted the Buck- eyes conference record to 5-1. The defeat, Indiana's fourth straight, made the Hoosiers 2-4.
