Thursday, March 18, 1976 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Nine Thursday, March 18, 1976 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Nine *O Blu By ANDY GLAZER } Special To The Daily LOUISVILLE-On the whole, they'd rather be in Philadelphia.r But a trip to the NCAA final four for Michigan's Wolverines is still two games-and wins- away. First there will be mighty Notre Dame at 9:10 tonight. If the nintharanked Wolverines sur- vive that test, they will face the winner of the Missouri-Texas Tech battle also being played here today. But the seventh-' ranked Fighting Irish want the trip to Philadelphia just as bad- ly. And if the winner's spoils aren't enough incentive for the South Bend crew, all of Notre Dame's juniors and (non-play- ing) seniors remember well the last time the two teams met, in the 1973 NCAA Mideast Re-: gional. The Wolverines won that game' 77-68. One of the keys to vic- tory was the play of an un-{ heralded sophomore Wayman' Britt, who held freshman 18.31 ppg scorer Adrian Dantley to a mere two points. Two years later, both are bet- ter known. But while Britt has become honorable-mention All- Big Ten, Dantley is "everyone's All-American." He is scoring at a 28.6 clip and was second in, NCAA player of the year voting to Indiana's Scott May. He is simply superb, and he must be held in check if the Wolverines are to play again this season. There is no consolation game in the Regional this year. The Britt-Dantely match-upI pT an s T HE L INE UPS to charm Irish icigan 32 Wayman Britt (6-2) F 45 John Robinson (6-6) F 35 Phil Hubbard (6-7) C 30 Steve Grote (6-2) G 24 Rickey Green (6-2) G is far from being the game'sc only key point. Indeed, many observers, a f t e r conceding Dantley his 20-30 points, feel1 that the play of his somewhat1 I e s s e r teammates, Bruce Flowers, Bill Paterno, Ray Martin and .Dave Batton will decide the contest.- "Notre Dame is the only team in the country that starts five bonafide high school All-Ameri- Notre Dame 44 Adrian Dantley (6-5) 34 Bruce Flowers (6-8) 45 Dave Batton (6-9) 55 Bill Paterno (6-6) 21 Ray Martin (6-1) cans," said Michigan assistant coach Bill Frieder. Despite that fact none of Dantley's four teammates have averaged more than 11 points a game thus far. Michiganders will remember Flowers, a 6-8 forward, for his play at Berkley high school, where he was a consensus all- stater for two years. Flowers will play opposite Michigan's Johnny Robinson, who gives away two inches in height but is stronger and a better rebounder. The 6-6 Paterno, a New Jer- sey import, will play at guard opposite Michigan's S t e v e Grote. The two are very simi- lar in style of play. As in the Robinson - Flowers match-up, Grote gives away height but is stronger. Notre Dame's other guard is the 6-1 Martin, who is primarily a playmaker. When scoring is needed, the Irish often bring in 6-3 Don "Duck" Williams whose late scoring led the Irish to their comeback victory against Cincinnati in their first round NCAA game. The Irish center is Batton, a 6-9, 225 sophomore from New Jersey. Despite his height and weight advantage over Michi-1 IDailv pIorts NIGHT EDITOR: ED LANGE Daily Photo by KEN FINK MICHIGAN'S Johnny Robinson (45) is shown driving past Michigan State's Edgar Wilson (33) enroute to the hoop in the Wolverines' 81-64 conquest of the Spartans last February.

The winners play Saturday for the right to ad-' vance to the national semi- finals March 27 in Philadelphia. The other Mideast game will: pit No. 2 Marquette, 26-1,' against Western Michigan, 20- 3. "We're playing the best team a in the country without any1 question," s a i d Newton, whose Tide has a 23-4 record1 compared to Indiana's 28-0. "To have gone unbeaten over' the past two regular seasons like Indiana has done is mind-I boggling. But if we do our part, it will be a good game."k "About the Mideast Regional being the toughest, I've foundi there is no use thinking about things you have no control over," said Hoosier Coach Bob- by Knight. Indiana, which was 30-0 last year, then lost to Ken- tucky in the regional final, is favored to reach the regional final again, this time probably against Marquette. Rutgers, 29-0,- the only other unbeaten team in the tourna- ment, is a solid favorite to win the East Regional at Greens- boro, N.C., after just barely4 qualifying with a 56-55 win over Princeton. The Scarlet Knights, ranked fourth nationally, will play Connecticut while DePaul, 20-8, will meet Virginia Mili- tary, 21-0. Bama Connecticut advanced by beating Hofstra in overtime while both DePaul and VMI got into the regionals with upsets- DePaul over Virginia and VMI over Tennessee. Another team expected to have a much easier time than Indiana in reaching the final round is defending champion UCLA. The fifth-ranked Bruins,: 24-4 and the cream of the West Regionals at, their own Pauley Pavilion, have to overcome Pepperdine, 22-5, a team spark- ed by Brazilian center Marcos Leite and the son of a famous football father, Ollie Matson Jr. "I'm happy to be home," said UCLA Coach Gene Bar- tow. "But I'm not sure that the home court means as much in a playoff situation as it does during the regular! !season." The Bruins had won 98 straight at home, including playoff} games, before losing to Oregon this past season.
