MADISON-There's no need to bring
out the respirator just yet-the cardiac
kids are still playing with racing hear-
ts, but for the time being, their pulses
have stabilized.
Indeed, as if nobody within sight or
earshot of Big Ten basketball could
believe that Michigan could play its
*urth straight overtime game of the
conference season. The Wolverines did
exactly that last night, squeaking by
Wisconsin, 73-69, before 7,850 stunned
fans in Wisconsin Field House.
AFTER THEY HAD stormed back
from an eight-point deficit early in the
second half and tied the game at 63-63 to
end regulation play, the cages sprinted
to a four-point advantage in the extra
period, then held on to win with some
clutch free throw shooting by Mark
Lozier and Ike Person.
"I sure feel better when I win them,"
said Wolverine coach Johnny Orr after
the game. "These kids battle all the
way."
The win boosts Michigan's record to
4-5 in the Big Ten and 11-7 overall. The
Wolverines now sport a 2-3 record in
overtime contests, as they broke a two-
game string of losses in post-regulation
play.
THIS GAME WAS unique in that the
Wolverines grabbed the lead in over-
time. Mike McGee and Thad Garner hit
short shots to put Michigan ahead, 67-
63, then Wes Matthews popped a short
shot through the twines to make it 67-65.
'As Keith Smith brought the ball
downcourt, he was fouled by Badger
guard Greg Dandridge. Smith made the
pair of free throws, but the tables ap-
peared to turn moments later, when
forward Claude Gregory slammed a
dunk through the hoop, and the Badgers
intercepted the inbounds pass. Web
Matthews drove in for an uncontested
himself from hero into goat. The senior
co-captain slapped Mathews on the
hand as he was driving in for a layup.
But even Matthews, a 90 per cent foul
shooter and probable All-Big Ten selec-
tion, couldn't compose himself under
pressure. His free throw caromed off
the outer rim, where Paul Heuerman
had firmly -planted himself for the
rebound.

Smith kept matters in suspense by
missing the front end of a one-and-one
with 27 seconds lelft, leaving the
Badgers with at least a chance to tie the
game and force a second overtime.
THEY RAN THE clock down to the
two-second mark before Gregory's
jumper rolled off the rim. Person
scooped the ball in a crowd, then was
fouled by Keith Mitchell, The freshman
forward then hit both of his free throws,
thus icing the victory.

leads Blue with 15
layup, tying the game again at 69-69 and
eliciting a roar from the Wisconsin
faithful that nearly brought down the
rafters.
It was at this juncture that the
Wolverines parted company from their
standard overtime character. Lozier
was-fouled by Arnold Gaines: he step-
ped to the line and calmly sank both of
his charity tosses.
