With eight minutes to play in the first half the Blue held a slim 23-21 lead. "We kinda played strange for awhile," said Michigan coach Johnny Orr. "It just went back and forth and back and forth." Finally, the Wolverines got things in gear and pulled away from the Hawkeyes. Juniors Dave Baxter and JoelThompson came off the bench and all of a sudden Michigan was back into its running game. Thompson tallied ten first half points and ripped down five caroms in addition to rejecting one shot. The junior jumping jack- seems to have broken out of his slump of late, in which Thompson would quickly get into foul trouble and had problems hitting his outside shots. "I'm working on being more laggressive and improving my defense" Thompson said. "Joel gave us a great lift and that is why we started him in the second half," said assistant coach Bill Frieder. "When he shoots like that we have to get him on the floor. He really adds to our offense." - Tom Staton was all over the floor and the 6-3 forward was rining down rebounds (he had eight for the game) and firing qick outlet passes to get the fast break going. Baxterkept things moving with his fine ball handling and his fine shoot- ing touch. The junior from Deroit was hustling and deflecting passes and getting the ball down thecourt. He drove fearlessly inside and hit Thompson with a couple of back door passes which resulted in easy lay-ups. Michigan was running and looked sharp. ' Yet, a problem the Wolverines have been plagued with all season is inconsistency. Michigan has played in spurts - gener- ating exlosiveness on offense at times, and pressuring opponents tenacio"sly on defense. Yet on other occasions ithas been vic- timized by standing around and waiting for things to happen. Consistency a key "Our biggest problem is we have to be consistent," Orr said. "At Iowa City and Minneapolis we were consistent al- most the whole time." Michiganplayed its best game of the season in the 86-80 vic- tory over Minnesota eleven days ago. However, in another big contest five days ago, the Wolverines just couldn't put things to- gether in the second half and lost to Indiana 73-64. "We shot just miserably against Indiana but we played pret- ty wel," Orr said. "Now we're right back where we were a week ago Monday - the big game with Minnesota. It should be a dandy. Tomorrow's clash in Crisler should be a dandy if the Wol- verines can put things together and come out sharp for 40 min- utes. They gave just a little extra firepower in Minneapolis and the same effort will be required to push them past the Gophers this time. "We have to keep the intensity throughout the game if we are to beat Minnesota," said co-captain Steve Grote. "We just had that bad game at Indiana but that as so far from how Michigan is capable of playing that e just have to forget it." "We are here at home and the fans pulling for us will be a big factor," said Staton. "They (Minnesota) will really be gun- ning for us because the league championship is at stake." "At Minnesota we came up with one of ou' greatest efforts of the season," Frieder said. "If we play an average or good game tomorrow we are in trouble." Pd.- urday.

Indiana then went cold from the field, missing ten straight field goal attempts, allowing Illinois to take the lead for the first time at 9:24 on a basket by Neil Bresnahan. Once the Illini got the lead, they didn't give it up. Illinois freshman guard Steve Lanter hit five free throws in the last three minutes to help ice the game. Kent Benson of Indiana led all scorers with 25 points, in- cliding 15 of 17 free throws. Mike Woodson added 21 points for the Hoosiers, 13, of which came in the first half, when In- diana built a 40-34 halftime lead.

Losing coach Jud Heathcote praised Minnesota after the game, but declined to picky a winner in tomorrow's show- down. Meanwhile, Dutcher carefully sidestepped a post-game query on whether his team could up- set the Wolverines.
