Hoosiers a 4-0 conference re-j
cord and 15-0 overall mark forI
the season.
MINNESOTA, topped by
freshman Mark Olberding's 23
points and Mike Thompson's 16
points, fell to 3-2 in the Bigs
Ten and 10-3 overall.
After Indiana forced the;
Gophers from the zone with a1
semi-stall late in the game, the
Hoosiers outscored the visitors

makers took a 73-72 overtime
victory from Northwestern in
Big Ten basketball.
JORDAN, who finished with
13 points tying with frosh Eu-
gene Parker for Purdue high
point honors, gave the Boiler-
makers a lead that seemed good
enough to win the game in reg-
ulation time, 64-60.
But Bob Svete put in two
straight field goals to tie the
game and send it into overtime.
Purdue had the ball leading 64-
62 with eight seconds left but
turned the ball over on a be-
hand-the-back-pass.
SVETE then tied it.
Tim Teasley, the game's
leading scorer with 19, scored
six of Northwestern's eight ov-
ertime points, putting the visi-
tors up, 70-67.

Hope springs eternal . .-"-
. for slumping Wolverines,
By BILL STIEG
APPARENTLY, THE Ann Arbor Optimists Club has opened aE
new branch-at Crisler Arena.
Despite two losses in a row, and a difficult road trip ahead,
the Wolverines show no signs of giving up, and some could evens
find a silver lining in their current slump.
"These two losses should have a good effect," said co- 1
captain Joe Johnson yesterday. "It could help us pull together."
The squad's other senior, co-captain C.J. Kupec, claimede
that things could be worse.e
"It could really have hurt if we didn't have the charac-V
ter we have," maintained Kupec. "This team is too matureI
to say 'hang it up' now.td s
Though the team is trying hard to put Saturday's loss to
Michigan State behind it, and concentrate on this weekend's
trip to Iowa and Minnesota, it should be a while before the East
Lansing nightmare is forgotten. The game was an exercise in c
frustration, replete with missed opportunities and dumb mis-s
takes.b
"We watched the films last night for three and a half hours,"v
said head coach Johnny Orr, sighing like a movie director who 3
just can't get a scene to work right. r'
"We had the chances," he explained, "but we blew
them by missing free throws and layups. We still thought
we had a chance as late as two minutes left.
"As badly as we were playing, State wasn't playing much
better. We should have been blown out by twenty or thirty
points, but State kept turning it over and over."
Orr went on to explain that Michigan's defense on the
weak side, away from the ball, is especially hurting the team.
The players are doing well when their man has the ball, he
said, but have a tendency to lose track of him when the ball isf
passed to the other side of the court.
"We made mistakes at crucial times," he added. "They
made mistakes, too, but not at crucial times."
The consecutive losses haven't caused Orr to hit thej
panic button, but there will be some changes made. Tof
start with, Orr has decided to close practices for a couple
of days, in the tradition of Bo Schembechler.
"We'll go back to fundamentals," Orr stated. "And we'll
try to remember how we won and were a good team last year."
Yesterday's practice was agrueling session of drills, topped
with 21 wind sprints-one for every point State scored over
the team's defensive goal of 65.
Kupec saw some encouraging signs in yesterday's work-
out. "Today's practice showed a resurgence of our old
form," he observed. "Playing two, three games a week,
has hurt us," pointing out that yesterday was the first real
workout in a long time. For more than a month, the prac-
tices had been prearation for upcoming games.
Orr and his staff also plan to straighten out some smallerr
problems, from havingsthe players get to practice earlier to
keeping the locker room neater. Little things like that, main-
tains Orr, can sometimes add up to more serious trouble. }
. During practice, the coaches and players will "break down"
defense and offense, trying to rebuild some of the plays that
have deteriorated over the first twelve games.
Included in Orr's plans are some new offensive patterns
designed to get more points out of Kupec.
"Last year," Orr recalled, "someone would have tof
go over and help out against Campy (Russell), and leave
C.J. open for a shot. But now they're not bothering the
others as much, and C.J. is having trouble.
"We'll put a couple things in this week to free him, be-
cause he's our best shooter."
For the Wolverines' sake, the changes will hopefully work,
and can be used this weekend against Iowa-no pushover,
especially in Iowa City-and sixteenth-ranked Minnesota. With
two Big Ten losses already, they can't afford any more games
like the last couple, and still hope for an NCAA berth.
This year, runners-up in the major conferences can be
considered for placement in the Regionals along with at-large
teams. A strong second-place finish can then give a team a
shot at the national championship.
"For us to win the conference championship," admits Orr,
"would be very difficult. We do have an excellent chance to go
to a post-season tournament, though."
Indeed, Michigan's non-conference mark of 7-1 allows it to
lose a handful of Big Ten games and still own a won-lost record
