BODNAR NETS 15 The Michigan Daily-Sunday, January 13, 1980-Page 11 Boilermakers blitz Wolverines, 68-61 '4 - By STAN BRADBURY Special to the Daily EST LAFAYETTE-"It's disap- inting to come back emptyhanded," said coach Johnny Orr after the Wolverines finished a two-game swing through Indiana yesterday with a 68-61 loss to Purdue. The defeat coupled with the overtime setback against the Hoosiers at Indiana Thursday night, lowers Michigan's record to 2-2 in the conference and 9-4 overall.: "We worked hard and they played rd to become a pretty good team. rdue has an excellent team," Orr said, adding in dismay, "You play your ass off and you can't win a game." Once again the Boilermakers were led to victory by their All-American center Joe Barry Carroll. The 7-2 cen- ter, Carroll, tallied 20 points and six rebounds. But that was a subpar game for him. "I thought we did a heck of a job (defending Carroll). I think Joe Barry Cpwroll is the best center in the coun- W," said Orr. Paul Heruerman, Michigan's 6-8 cen- ter, did an excellent job of handling Carroll when he was in the game. With Heuerman the Wolverines played even with Purdue. During the seven minutes Heuerman missed in the game, Purdue was able to build a seven-point lead which they held onto the rest of the game. Beside Carroll, the other big factor in the Michigan loss was the play of Michigan forward Mike McGee. McGee was held to only seven points, his worst performance of the season. After bringing a 24.5 average and a .520 field goal percentage into the contest, McGee shot a miserable 2-12 from the field. McGee was held scoreless in the first 20 minutes of play by the Boilermakers' Dr. of Defense,. Arnette Hallman. McGee was 0-8 from the field as he was covered man-to-man by the 6-7 Hallman, who Purdue coach Lee Rose said he believes is the top defensive forward in the Big Ten. But Orr $aid after the game that it really wasn't the play of Hallman which accounted for McGee's performance. "Today he had the shots. He just missed the shots he had," said Orr. Purdue jumped out to an early 4-0 lead in the first minute of play before Heuerman scored six unanswered poin- ts to put Michigan on top 6-4. The Wolverines and Boilermakers then ex- changed baskets until Keith Smith hit from the left corner making the score 12-8 and giving Michigan their biggest lead of the game. Michigan did not relinquish the lead until 11:40 remained in the half as Mike Scearce sank two free throws. Scearce was sent to the line after being fouled by Heuerman. It was Heuerman's second personal in 19 seconds. Michigan quickly regained the lead on baskets by Smith and Thad Garner. The Wolverines were able to hold off the Boilermakers until a Carroll jumper from eight feel put Purdue on top 26-25 with 7:33 left in the first half. I At that time, the roof started to cave in on the Wolverines before a capacity Boilermaker partisan crowd of 14,123 in Mackey Arena. Heuerman picked up his third foul and took to the bench for the rest of the half. Heuerman's replacement, John Garris, was quickly called for a foul under the boards in a rebounding battle with Hallman. Orr complained fiercely about the call, citing Hallman's flying elbows and told the referee, "Boy, I guess that's why it's difficult to win on the road." The official simply respon- ded by forming a "T" with his hands. Drake Morris sank both technicals and Hallman converted both of his charity tosses and the Boilermakers led 30-25, a lead they never relinquished the remainder of the game. Orr said after the game that it was his first technical in five years. He added jokingly, "So that's good. I was tired of getting a record." With Heuerman absent, the Boiler- makers took a 37-30 lead to the lockerroom at intermission. Heuerman returned for the entire second half as the Wolverines' starting five played the full 20 minutes and kept even with the Boilermakers. The biggest lead of the half occurred with 10:48 left when Purdue went up 51- 41. Michigan fought back and was able to close the score down to 53-49, the closest margin of the half, which oc- curred with 9:06 lef t in the game. ' Purdue was able to hold off another one of Michigan's on-the-road comebacks and added a shot at the buz- zer for the final margin. Four Wolverines ended in double figures as sharpshooting guard Marty Bodnar led the team with 15 points. Heuerman followed with 14 and Garner added 13 with Smith netting 10. The win for the tenth ranked Boiler- makers puts them at 3-1 in the Big Ten and 10-2 for the season. Purdue plays fifth rated and unbeaten Syracuse on national TV today in Mackey Arena. suPURD UEpered _ Hallman....... Morris ...... Carroll. B.Walker. Edmonson..... Stallings ...... Benson ........

BIG TEN ROUNDUP Indiana slays ... not discouraging By MARK MIHANOVIC " WEST LAFAYETTE O NE OF THE FACTORS that makes sports so intriguing is the irony that many of its situations present. And how ironic it seems that the Michigan Wolverines have done as much to establish themselves as legitimate Big Ten contenders in their recent losses to Indiana and Purdue as tiey did in any of their nine victories. There may not be a tougher two-game swing on any schedule in the country than Bloomington and West Lafayette, and coach Johnny Orr's cagers performed admirably in both of them. They came oh-so-close in In- diana's Assembly Hall madhouse, where officials are intimidated almost as much by a rancorous crowd as they are by the presence of one Bobby Knight on the end of the Hoosier bench. And they played Purdue tough all the way yesterday in front of an even louder Mackey Arena throng, where Orr became so upset by the first half of- ficiating that he drew a rare technical foul. It appeared that Purdue big men Joe Barry Carroll (7-1, 240), Arnette Hallman (6-7, 205), Mike Scearce (6-7, 210) and Ted Benson (6-10, 223) would be allowed to push their smaller, blue- jeresyed opponents into Row 5 before a whistle blew. (Purdue received its fourth team foul with just four minutes left in the first half). To their credit, the officials called 'em both ways after the intermission, prompting Orr's post-game remark, "I was glad the referees came back and showed a little courage in the second half." Such is to be expected on the road in the Big Ten however, and Michigan players responded to the challenge he t jination and raw guts they've displayed all year. Center. *Pal Hqun an played as well against Carroll as anyone could expect his 6-8, 200-pound body to perform. He scored 14 points, mostly on out- side jumpers and was the game's leading rebounder with seven, while still not completely recovered from mononucleosis. He picked up three first half fouls, however, and was replaced by 6-9 John Garris, who did the impossible, knocking a Joe Barry shot back at him and drawing a charge on Carroll seconds later. Guards Marty Bodnar and Keith Smith both played well. Bodnar led Michigan with 15 points on seven-for-ten from the field and played a hustlig, never-give-in defense all day. Smith hit double figures with ten points, and his ball-handling consistently beat the tough Purdue full-court press. Thad Garner was his usual ative self on defense and contributed 13 points to Michigan's scoring, including five of nine from the field. He also had five assists. The wolverines were hurt by a subpar performance from Mike McGee, 'who went into the game averaging 24.5 points per game, but could manage only two of 12 from the field and seven points against the Boilermakers. McGee didn't shoot well in the second half of the game with Indiana either, =and Orr suggested that "maybe he was pressing a little," especially with the knowledge that Joe Barry was ready to swat away any low-trajectory shots. If Michigan is to stay in the thick of the Big Ten race, he must recover :his touch. The Wolverines can't afford the same loss of confidence that plagued McGee's play last year. One reason for McGee's low scoring was possibly the play of the Boiler- maker's rugged defensive specialist Hallman, who Purdue coach Lee Rose described as the best in the Big Ten at covering opposition scorers. Hallman popped in 16 points as well, hitting seven of the nine shots he took. Along with Carroll's 20 points, a ten-assist performance by guard Brian Walker, and a 33-20 Boilermaker rebounding edge, proved to be just a little too much for the crew from Ann Arbor. Rose, for one, was impressed by the Wolverines, and mostly by the coaching job that Orr is doing. "They lost a kid last year to the pros, and they regrouped well. "He (Orr) does a fabulous job with his kids. He is getting 100 per cent out of them. They came out and played the game the way they had to play it. They showed great patience and discipline all game. There isn't a better coaching job than what he's done on this Indiana road trip." The Big Ten should prove as wild and wacky as last year when Ohio State blew a four-game conference lead. The talented Buckeyes are the cir- cuit's only undefeated team thus far, but they haven't played in either Bloomington or West Lafayette. I never thought I'd be saying this, but they haven't played in Ann Arbor yet, either.

By the Associated Press BLOOMINGTON-Guards Isiah Thomas and Butch Carter scored 19 points apiece yesterday as 19th-ranked Indiana survived a second-half rally by Michian.State and beat the Spartans 72- 64 in a regionally televised Big Ten basketball game. The Hoosiers took a 10-point lead at halftime, then built an 18-point advan- tage seven minutes into the second half before Jay Vincent started the Spartan rally. The foul-plagued Hoosiers saw the lead trimmed to three points on four straight free throws by Kevin Smith with four minutes remaining. Then two, minutes later a basket by Rob Gonzales cut the lead to three, and two more free throws by Terry Donnelly closed the gap to one when Thomas fouled out. Indiana's final 13 points came on free throws, including five by Phil Isen- barger and four by Carter. Michigan State still trailed only 63-62 with a minute remaining, but five straight free throws iced the victory for the Hoosiers. It was the fourth straight conference loss for the Spartans and dropped their ovrall record to 6-7. The Hoosiers evened their Big .Ten mark at 2-2 and raised their season record to 9-4. Iowa 66, Wisconsin 65 IOWA CITY-Steve Krafcisin scored 15 points and 12th-ranked Iowa held off a late Wisconsin rally to beat the Badgers 66-65 in Big Ten college basketball yesterday. Wisconsin's Wes Matthews scored 24 points, including seven in the last minute. The win evened Iowa's league mark at 2-2, and the Badgers fell to 2-2. Iowa held a 12-point lead with 5:39 left when Kevin Boyle hit a long jumper to make it 62-50. Baskets by Larry Petty, Joe Chrnelich and Arnold Gaines cut the margin in half with 2:31 to play. Matthews, who had been averaging 20.7 points per game, scored on a long pass with 1:03 remaining, but Iowa an- swered with two free thros by Kenny Arnold on a Gaines foul. Matthews scored on a free throw with 21 seconds to go and on a long jumper with 17 seconds left, which narrowed the lead to 66-63. Iowa's Bob Hansen missed a free throw with 10 seconds to go and the Hawks made no attempt to stop Matthews' last two points with just 3 seconds left. Minnesota 79, Illinois 75 MINNEAPOLIS-Senior forward Kevin McHale scored 25 points and Minnesota connected on 27 or 29 free throw attempts as the Gophers defeated Illinois 79-76 in a Big Ten basketball game yesterday. Minnesota, 3-1 in conference play and 10-3 overall, held a 36-31 halftime lead. The Gophers sank 19 of 20 free throws in the second half to withstand a surge by Illinois. Illinois, on the other hand, only had four chances at the foul stripe, and sank three of them. The Illini, 1-3 in Big Ten play and 11-5 in all games, never led in the game but pulled to within 50-49 at the midway point of the second half. Trent Tucker then hit a long jumper and McHale and Darryl Mitchell each sank two free throws as the Gophers went back up by seven points. Eddie Johnson led Illinois with 26 points, 20 in the second half. Mark Smith finished with 18 and Rod Judson a long-range sniping accounted for 4, Spartans, by Jung and a basket by Campbell to go ahead 10-8. Two baskets by Ransey and one by Jim Smith gave the Buckeyes a 14-10 lead, llut Northwestern rallied for a 15- 14 advantage and the two teams traded baskets until Ohio State bolted ahead 26-21 on three successive buckets. The Buckeyes opened a 30-23 edge on the shooting of Williams, but North- western cut the lead to 32-31 with two and a half minutes left in the half. Ohio STate then opened a 37-31 halftime lead on baskets by Larry Huggins and Williams and a free throw by Marquis Miller. N. Carolina 82, Duke 67 DURHAN, N.C.-Al Wood and Dave Colescott combined for 38 points as 15th-ranked North Carolina upset top- ranked Duke 82-67 in an Atlantic Coast Conference basketball game yesterday. The Blue Devils lost the lead with 7:38 to go in the first half and never regained it. They fought back from a 13-point deficit, 49-36, with 15:29 remaining in the game to tie it up at 56-all with 7:39 left. But North Carolina forced turnovers, dominated the offensive boards and clogged up the shooting Ianes to build up a 15-point lead with 20 seconds' remaining. Wood scored 20 points and Colescott added 18, several from the free throw line in the second half, as the Tar Heels bettered their record to 8--3 overall and 2-2 in the ACC.
