Page Eight THE MICHIGAN DAILY Sunday, January 12, 1975 FOULS, FURLOW TOO MUCH FOR MICHIGAN, 86-78 M v uAt"t Saers By AL HRAPSKYl Special To The Daily EAST LANSING-A blis- tering. S p a r t a n shoot- ing display and early Mich- igan foul trouble which re- sulted in the departure of three starters, proved the decisive factors in an im- pressive 86-78 Michigan State victory here yester- day. Shooting at a record breaking .640 clip, on 32 of 50 field goals, the Spartans managed to thwart every threat the Wolverines could generate.' Junior forward Terry Furlow provided the spark for State, converting 11 of 15 field goals and 11 of 11 free throws for a career and game high 33 points.1 Furlow's three baskets midway through the first half turned the game around, giving State a six point lead that they never re- Big Ten Standings linquished. A sullen Johnny Orr talkedt about his team's inability to stifle the Spartans' shooting. "I think we let them have1 too many good shots. People7 we didn't expect to make them were putting them in."1 A sticky Spartan defense hampered the Wolverines all af- ternoon, and according to MSU; coach Gus Ganakas, was the necessary element in producing the victory. "We had control of the game throughout. They're a really fast team and we were able to con- trol the fast break." After Furlow's flurry of bas- kets, Michigan called a time- out to regroup with the score 26-20. Orr's effort to change the momentum was futile, however, as the Spartan's steadily built; their lead to ten points at the half on Furlow's uncontested layup with three seconds left. Michigan's physical defense resulted in several deadly fouls that sent C. J. Kupec to the bench permanently with 13:34 left in the second half; Wayman Britt at the 6:37 mark; and Johnny Robinson with three minutes remaining in the game. Don Johnston, Kupec's replace- ment, did an adequate job of keeping Lindsay Hairston away from the basket, but collected four fouls and was benched, with 6:17 left. Michigan played better bas- ketball in the second half and1 actually outscored the Spartans: 40 to 38. The main stumbling block was an inability to pene- trate a sticky Spartan defense which forced the Wolverines to the shoot from the outside. "We had cutters moving in-' side but we couldn't get the ball to them. We played too much individual basketball,". explained Orr, who saw his team lose their second straight Big Ten encounter. MSU scored two quick bas- kets to begin the second half on uncontested layups by senior guard Pete Davis and Hairston, to take a 14 point lead, their biggest of the contest. The game drifted into a state of limbo as the Spartan lead rarely fluc-4 tuated from 10 points until the Wolverines made their only serious bid with a little over five minutes remaining in the game. Robinson tipped in a rebound and Grote wriggled inside for an underhanded layup to shave the lead to eight. It looked as would have cut the lead to four. Ricky White sank a layup on an assist from Johnson to close the gap to six, the closest the Wolverines could manage. Add to basketball Pg, 8 L4j Assists on 26 baskets, of which senior guard Bill Glover accounted for 13, and an 18 point production from Ganakas' bench also highlighted the Spartan performance. "I felt that going into this game we had more depth than Michigan and that we'd win on that basis," remarked a jubi- lant Ganakas. Officiating and questionable calls aside MSU's passing game and penetration picked apart Michigan's defense and forced them into early foul trouble. But in the end, Furlow's scoring spree which surpassed his pre- vious game high of 26 against Ohio State in 1974, sealed Mich- with 26 points and Grote had 16 and Robinson 12. Hairston sup- plemented Furlow with 18, slightly under his season aver- age of 21. Adding to the Wolverine woes, they must take to the road next week for back to back Big Ten encounters with Iowa and Min- nesota. Reserves topOS The Michigan varsity reserve basketball team, led by Kent Storey's 33 points, withheld a second hplf rally by the Ohio State junior varsity to post a 71-67 win in ,Columbus last night. Trailing 36-30 at halftime, the baby Buckeyes battled their way to a 57-56 lead with 6 minutes remaining in the second stanza. However, Storey took control of the game from that point on, scor- ing 11 points over a four minute span to out the Wol- verines ahead 69-60. The six foot' four forward from Ann Arbor Pioneer hit on 13 of 20 shots from the floor and added seven free throws, in leading Michigan to its fifth win in six starts. Storey's 33 points aside, three other Wolverines scored in dolbl figures. Dave Ziegler and Jimmy Berra collected ten apiece and Lelich tallied eleven. -RICH LERNER though Michigan close the gapI missed two free being fouled by Grote, an easy was ready to igan's doom. but Robinson Michigan by no means had a throws, after poor shooting day as they shot Furlow and at a .520 clip from the field. layup, which Johnson was high for Michigan Feisty farmers feast on fouls MICHIGAN STATE MICHIGAN Indiana Minnesota Purdue MICHIGAN Michigan State Iowa Ohio State Northwestern Illinois Wisconsin 3 , 0 3 1 3 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 2 1 2 1 3 1.000 .7501 .750 .500 .500 .500 .333 .333 .250 i'urlow Tropf Halisto)n D~avis Glover Wilson White C'ha pman Milton McGill Rivers Dudley Team Totals FG 11-15 A -2 i-13 4-5 2-5 1-2 3-3 2-3 0-1 0-0) 1-1 0-0 FT 11-11 z-z 4-8 0-0 1-1 2-z 0-0 -4 0-1 0-0 0-0 0-0 R 6 8 4 1 0 0 9 fl 0 9 F' 3 5 4 2 4 1 5 4 0 0 0 29 TP 33 4 18 8 5 4 6 6 0 0 2 0 86 Robinson Britt Kupec Grote Johnson White Thompson Johnston Baxter McGhee Team Totals Michigan Michigan FG 4-5 3-9 4-9 6-9 6-13 2-3 0-0 0-0 1-2 0-0 26-50 Score by State FT 4-9 0-0 2-2 4-6 ;14-16 0-0 0-0 2-2 0-0 0-0 26-.35 Periods R 9 2 3 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 5 22 48 38 5 5 5 4 1 3 2 4 1 1 TP 12 6 10 16 26 4 0 2 0 Daily Photo by PAULINE LUBENS SPARTAN STALWART, Terry Furlow (25), not only scored a career high of 33 points in MSU's 86-78 victory over Michigan yesterday but showed some defensive hustle, stuffing a hand in Wolverine John Robinson's face.

Michigan never really got untracked against the revenge - minded Huskies. With the loss, Michigan split. the two game series with Tech and are now in sixth place in the WCHA, two points behind the Huskies. "WE SKATED as poorly as we've skated all year," said Dan Farrell afterwards. "It was. just a bad, bad night. I guess we've got to go back to some basics." The real damage was done in the first period when Tech scor- ed three goals within two min- utes. Three of their first five shots on goal found their mark. THE GAME had been sloppy but close until Michigan Tech scored and that goal seemed to fire up the Huskies and turn the game in their favor. Mike Zuke fired a 30-footer' from directly in front through a crowd for the first tally at 10:41. Stu Younger flipped a rebound in from the crease to widen the margin to 2-0 at 12:12.

"YOU CAN'T expect to win when they put in three goals like that in that little amount of time," said Farrell. "As far as I was concerned that was the difference in the game." Michigan continued to skate poorly. Even in power play situations, it seemed as though the Huskies were carrying the play and outshooting the Wol- verines. THE SECOND period was more of the same for both; clubs.gAgain, Tech outscored Michigan 3-0. It was sloppy play that gave Tech goal number four. Michi- gan controlled the puck behind their own net when Bob D'Al- vise was able to steal the puck and pass it to Bill Steele who was right in front of the net, 4-0. It appeared as though the Maize and Blue weren't able to get going all night and a few lucky plays by Tech ended any questions about the game's out- come.

Grapplers By RICK BONINO The Michigan wrestling squad tamed Northwestern's Wildcats 26-8 in a hard-fought dual meet at Crisler Arena last night.

Wolverine 150-pounder Tom Evashevski, returning to the starting slot in place of Fred Lozon, followed Schuck's win with a come-from-behind 2-2 draw. Michigan then got a breather, as Ed Neiswender and Dan Brink followed with easy wins to push the margin to 20-5. Brink's task was made notice- ably easier by the absence of star Wildcat 167-pounder lave Froehlich, out with an injury.

However, Mark Johnson kept his dual-meet undefeated streak intact by edging tough Wfldcat freshman Al Marzano.

The Wolverines travel to Indiana next Saturday for a triple meet with Indiana and Montclair State. full court e PRESS Untimely foals . . ... sealed Michigan's doom By BILL CRANE EAST LANSING 0\ SOME days it pays to stay in bed and maybe the Wolverine hoopsters should have known that it was going to be one of those days right from the beginning yesterday. Why? Well, C.J. Kupec became bus-sick on the way to the pasture lands of East Lansing. It seems the vehicle's air-ride suspension couldn't handle the gusting Michigan winds. And it really must have been an omen because the Wol- verines dug themselves into a hole which made escape im- possible. Early fouls put Michigan starters on the bench. The Wolver- ines spotted the Michigan State Spartans a ten point halftime lead and dropped the contest 86-78, despite a second half rally. Although both teams suffered a nearly equal number of fouls, Michigan's players received them earlier and their fouls cost them playing time. State had 29 personals and Michigan had 31. C.J. Kupec, Wayman Britt and John Robinson exited early while Steve Grote and Don Johnston played with four fouls apiece. Every move the Wolverines made was affected by their foul situation and this was true surprisingly early in the game. With the score tied 16-16 at the 11:20 mark, Grote drew his second personal on an offensive charge. Grote strated well, hitting two free throws and canning two long jumpers, but forced his play afterwards. He was taken out after the charge. Britt moved to guard and drew State's Bill Glover as 'his defensive assignment. Wolverine sub Rick White moved to Britt's man, Terry Furlow. Furlow went to work. He scored on one of several David Thompson-like feeds he converted in the game. He also swished two long jumpers. Those three shots, which comprised six of Furlow's 33 point total, highlighted a Spartan spree which pushed State into the lead for good, 26-20. Whereas Britt had contained Furlow, White could not. At,'the time Grote returned to the game, Michigan's foul trouble wasn't overly serious. Michigan followers are used to seeing Michigan starters in foul trouble and nothing calamitous was predicted. But the situation worsened. Michigan's full-court press wasn't effective. State is one of the teams in the Big Ten which can run with the Wolverines and the Spartans broke the press time and again. After the press was broken, John Robinson, Grote or White, and Britt were forced to come over and guard State's center, Lindsay Hairston as Kupec was caught up court. Trapped in a mismatch, White picked up two fouls and Grote one. Additionally, State was scoring easy baskets. Joe John- son said, "We didn't convert well from offense to defense. Defense is the name of the game and we can't expect to give up as many points as we did and win on the road." The Spartans maintained a six-point lead for about four minutes after Grote returned to the game at the 7:42 mark. But with 4:09 remaining, Grote picked up his third foul. Britt waited about a minute before he picked up two, within ten seconds of each other. 19 seconds later, Kupec obtained his fourth. The points which State scored on free throws didn't make the difference. Michigan outscored State from the line, 26-22. But the elimination of key Michigan players relatively early in the second half made the difference. Kupec fouled out with 13:34 left. Michigan has no other real center. Although Don Johnston played respectably, Hairston drew fouls, eventually putting Michigan into the penalty situation, and also scored five quick points. Britt and Robinson exited with six and three minutes re- surprise I From Wire Service Reports COLUMBUS - The hot-shoot- ing Ohio State Buckeyes knock- ed Minnesota from the ranks of the Big Ten's unbeaten with a 76-67 win last night.
