WISCONSIN WINS, 66-65
Badgers embarrass Blue
By GARY KICINSKI
This time, the glass slipper didn't fit.
The scene was set at Crisler Arena
last night for Michigan's fifth fairy-tale
finish, but this time a last-second shot
refused to drop, and the Michigan
Wolverines succumbed to the Wiscon-
sin Badgers, 66-65.
THE WOLVERINES, already proud
possessors of four Big Ten victories at
the buzzer, saw their dreams of a fifth
miracle vanish into thin air as Tom
Staton's desperation shot with two
seconds left bounced off the rim, and
Alan Hardy's ensuing attempt at a tip-
in wouldn't fall, either.
The loss dropped the Wolverines to 7-
8 in the Big Ten and into a sixth-place
tie with Illinois. For Wisconsin, the vic-
tory was its first in eleven games, as
the Badgers hadn't won a game since
they downed the Wolverines 77-66 in
Madison on January 13th. Wisconsin is
now 3-12 on the year, having picked up
just one victory over Northwestern in
addition to the Michigan victories.
Sophomore guard Wesley Matthews
paced the Badgers with a career high 31
points.
IT HAD LOOKED to be a carbon copy
of Michigan's earlier contest with In-
diana, when the Wolverines ran the
clock down to adozen seconds and then
called time to set up the final play.
But this time the strategy failed.
Coach Johnny Orr set up a "third option
play," where the two guards cut
through the middle in an attempt to get
open, and if that fails the ball goes in to
Phil Hubbard, who takes it in himself.
"We wanted to let Hub take it in on
(Larry) Petty to the basket," Orr som-
berly explained afterward. "But one of
our players forgot ... so we had to do
what we had to do. He didn't make the
cut ... it was just one of those things."
ORR DIDN'T single out the player at
fault, but guard Marty Bodnar, who led
Michigan with 19 points, said later that
he was the one who messed up the
assignment.
"My role at that time was to in-bound
the ball and then cut through the mid-
dle," Bodnar said. "But I didn't; I went
to the corner instead."
The play developed with junior Mark
Lozier handling the ball, who then
dumped it off to Alan Hardy on the
wing. Hardy fired the ball across court
to Staton, who was forced to put up a
shot with the clock winding down. The
shot bounced off both the rim and the
glass, and Hardy took one shot at a tap-
in but failed.
"IT WAS A busted play," Staton ad-
mitted. "The ball reversed to my side,
and I had to put the ball up with the
seconds ticking off.",
. "I calculated the tip," reflected Har-
dy, "and I went up for the first rebound,
and it just didn't go in.
The frantic finish capped off what
looked to an impressive and victorious
comeback after an atrocious first half,
as the Wolverines twice trailed by as
much as 12 points.
Michigan committed 12 first-half tur-
novers and was out-boarded 29-16 by the
Badgers, who added a comical 16 tur-
novers of their own in the sloppy first
period. Hubbard was held scoreless and
Michigan connected on 38 per cent of its
floor shots and a paltry 45 per cent of its
free throws and trailed, 37-29, at the in
termission.
BUT BODNAR came out smoking in
the second half, and combined with,
Hubbard to slowly pull the Wolverines.
within range. Hubbard's ten-foot jum-
per knotted the game at 51 all with 8:10
to go, and from then on the game*
swayed back-and-forth.
Orr was understandably distressed
with his squad's play, and felt that part
of the flatness resulted from the MSU
loss.
"It doesn't bother me, losing. Lack of
effort bothers me," Orr said sullenly.
"I can't understand why young
men ... you play 27 games and it
would seem to me you'd want to break
your back on every play. That's disap-
pointing."
