TURNOVER DOOMS'M' Bucks edge Blue, 66-c BY SCOTT M. LEWIS Special to The Daily COLUMBUS - Carter Scott's bank shot with 45 seconds remaining and a most untimely traveling violation spoiled the Wolverines' grittiest road performance of the season, as 13th- ranked Ohio State escaped with a 66-63 victory at St. John's Arena last night. Michigan had control of the' ball for nearly all of the final 45 seconds and orked deliberately for a shot. Coach 'Johnny Orr called time out at :13 and when play was resumed, the Wolverines' Mark Lozier in-bounded the ball at mid-court. THE BALL came back to Lozier, who was whistled for traveling with :06 left. Scott connected on both ends of a one- and-one situation with two ticks remaining on the clock to ice the Buckeye win. Concerning the travelling call, Orr Rid, "I didn't see it. We freed (Mike) cGee and had him wide open. Herby '(Williams) didn't even know where McGee was. But they called traveling so he must have traveled. If it wasn't traveling, he (the official) should be kicked out of the league." Ohio State, now 7-4 in the Big Ten and- tied for second place, snapped a three- game conference losing streak. The Bucks also gained retribution against the Wolverines for a defeat they suf- fered in Ann Arbor on January 19. Michigan, whose conference record slipped to 5-6 (12-8 overall) had its two- game winning streak halted. The Wolverines are now 1-5 in Big Ten road games. THE CONTEST evoked strong remembrances of a game at Toledo in which Michigan was faced with similar circumstances. With about 10 seconds - remaining, Lozier committed a crucial turnover and Toledo gained a 67-64 decision. As in the Toledo game, last night's af- fair had all the ingredients of 'a Michigan comeback win only to be stymied by the home club. At 10:33 Ohio State held a 55-48 lead and was displaying the talents which propelled it to a 5-0 record at one juncture in the Big Ten season. These talents included defensive tac- tics which would have made Woody Hayes proud. But the Wolverines, taking advantage of Buckeye turnovers proceeded to out- score OSU 8-0 over the next three. minutes. Johnny Johnson's jumper at 7:50 put Michigan on top, 56-55. After an exchange of baskets, McGee, who again earned game scoring honors' with 23 points, hit on a bank shot to put the Blue unit up by three, 60-57. Paul Heuerman and Kelvin Ran traded hoops, before fresh standout Clark Kellogg sank throw. McGee then missed the firs and-one, and Williams' sho: from inside knotted the score Each team then committ nover, and with 1:23 to play,] made only one of two fo allowing the Buckeyes to seiz with a field goal. Scott, a 6-2j just that. Orr had nothing but prais scrappy team. "We expected blow us out of here tonight," "Once we got going, though, w could stay with them." Motion siekn MICHIGAN Min.
