4 SPORTS Friday, January 16, 1981 Page 10 The Michigan Daily SECOND STRAIGHT OT WIN Blue tops Indiana,55-52 By DREW SHARP Mark Bodnar's three clutch free rows in the final 23 seconds of over- ne play gave Michigan a 55-52 upset ctory over the Indiana Hoosiers last ght before an enthused sellout crowd Crisler Arena. It was the Wolverines' cond consecutive overtime triumph. "We had four straight overtime imes last season. This year, we're >ing for five," quipped coach Bill rieder. "It was a typical Big Ten ime in that it was a hard fought battle Atween two good teams:" BODNAR FIRST entered the game ith two and a half minutes remaining the overtime period and there was fear that he might be cold coming into the contest so late. "I've got a great deal of confidence in For re-cap of other Big Ten games, see page 12. both the Bodnars," continued Frieder. 'I put him (Mark) in because he's a great foul shooter and, in these situations, you need your best foul shooters in the game, even though you give up some height." Bodnar considered his climatic buckets to be the highlight of his career. "I'VE NEVER been happier. Those were the biggest points of my life," said Bodnar. "I was confident that I could make the shots even though I had just come off the bench for the first time of the evening." The overtime period began with In- diana winning the tip-off and All- American guard Isiah Thomas connec- ting on two of his team-leading 18 points to give the Hoosiers a 50-48 advantage. After Paul Heuerman missed a one- and-one free throw attempt, Indiana tried to open up its lead, but Thad Gar- ner stepped in front of a Thomas pass and delivered a fine lead pass to the game's top scorer, Mike McGee, who scored an easy layup to tie the game once again. INDIANA TOOK the ball and looked as though it wanted to play for the last shot; however, those ideas were, thwar- ted when center Ray Tolbert was caught travelling with 2:34 remaining in overtime. Frieder took a timeout to plan the Wolverines' final strategy-play for the final shot. They ate. up more than a minute from the clock until Thomas fouled Marty Bodnar, an 80 percent free throw shooter. Bodnar canned both shots and Michigan took a 52-50 lead with 1:13 left. Indiana forced the clock to tick down to 55 seconds before calling a timeout. When play continued, Thomas dished the ball back to forward Ted Kitchel in the corner. Kitchel arched a high shot that bounded off the rim. Garner then hauled in the clutch rebound. The Wolverines ran the time down to 35 seconds when they called another timeout. Heuerman avoided ,a near disastrous situation when he quickly called a timeoutafter his outlet, Bod- nar, tripped and fell to the floor. When Michigan finally did get the pass in- bounds, Bodnar worked the ball around until he was fouled. An 80 percent foul shooter in his own right, Bodnar sank the two shots to boost the Michigan ad- vantage to four points, 54-50. Tolbert countered with a bucket to cut the lead to two, but Bodnar put the finishing touches on a brilliant overall perfor- mance by the Wolverines by sinking the clincher.'

Merriott won both the one- and three- meter diving events with scores of 335.62 and 358.65, respectively, but Wisconsin was claimed honors in all but two of the remaining events to send the Wolverines down to defeat for the first time in three meets this season. The only other Michigan winners were senior Bob Murray, a narrow vic- tor in the 100-year freestyle with a clocking of 46.50 seconds, and Tom Er- nsting, who was first in the 200-yard breaststroke at 2:10.36. The rest of the meet belonged to the visitors, who swept the butterfly ahd backstroke events: Jim Sorensen ahd' Curt LaCount did the most damage, Sorensen nipping Michigan's Kevit Williamson 9:33.74-9:33.75 in the 1,600 yard free and 1running away with the 500-yard freestyle by nearly a seven- second margin, and LaCount leading' the Badger medley relay team to a one- second win while topping the field in the 200-yard backstroke.
