The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, December 9, 1980-Page 9 Michigan cagers zip. by Akron, 98-69 McGee's 35 leads Wolverines past overmatched opponents By BUDDY MOOREHOUSE The Michigan cagers saved all the excitement until the end as they whom- ped an overmanned Akron squad, 98-69, last night at Crisler Arena. With 1:27 left in the contest, freshman M.C. Burton popped in two free throws,, giving the Wolverines 98 points total. Surely, the crowd of 7,822 thought, a minute and a half was more than enough time to reach the century mark. Even with four freshmen and a sophomore on the floor, two measly points would be easy to get. BUT AFTER 1:20 had elapsed, the cagers still had not reached the magic mark. Akron's Jim Barstow then graciously fouled 7-2 Jon Antonides, to give Michigan yet another shot at reaching 100 points. But even with the crowd on their feet clapping in unison, Antonides missed the front end of his one-and-one, wherein time expired. The only other real excitement of the evening for the Crisler crowd came from Michigan's scoring sensation, Mike McGee. The senior forward elec- trified the fans in the first half, pum- ping in 22 of his game high 35 points, making several steals and even playing some good defense - his traditional weakness. "We showed some poise and main- tained our intensity throughout this game, which is hard to do when you're playing a team like this," said McGee, whose 35 points last night gives him a career total of 1,805, three points away from moving into second place on the all-time Wolverine scoring list. MICHIGAN COACH Bill Frieder up- ped his career mark to 4-0, and was, generally pleased with the way his team played. "I think our starters played to their potential," said Frieder, "and in a game like this (against a weak foe), you don't want them to hot dog it, I was real pleased with the inten- sity they showed." But while the starters played well, the bench wasn't as strong as Frieder would have liked. "Our subs were a bit jittery out there," said Frieder. "But I'm glad I got a chance to play everyone. Come January, they won't get a chance to be on the floor too much, so it's good they're getting the ex- perience now." Michigan shot out to an early lead, going ahead 25-8 after seven minutes, 15 of the Michigan points belonging to McGee. The intensity of the Blue squad kept up as they cruised to a 52-23 half- time lead.. THE ZIPS came out fighting in the second stanza, though, putting on a tougher defensive clamp. This was evidenced by the fact that both teams scored 46 points in the second half, although this was partially due to the ineffectiveness of the Michigan sub- stitutes. Akron was led by guard Wendell Bates, who tossed in 14 points, and David Mason, who had ten points and hauled in seven rebounds. Michigan freshman Tim McCormick led both teams in rebounds for -the second game in a row, pulling in a game-high ten boards. Thad Garner was a distant second in scoring with 12 points added to the Michigan cause. The Wolverines had another reason to celebrate yesterday, as they appeared in the national top twenty for the first time since January 9, 1979. That didn't seem to matter to the Michigan cagers, though. "I don't think much about the rankings now," said McGee. "It doesn't matter to me so long as we keep playing well." unzipped Daily Photo by JIM KRUZ.
