'9 SPORTS The Michigan Daily' thursday, December 11, 1980 Page 9 MCGEE POPS IN 30 Cagers flash by Kent State, 97-72 By MARK FISCHER Mike McGee moved into second place on the Michigan career scoring list as the Blue cagers coasted over the Kent State Golden Flashes, 97-72, before 10,122 fans at Crisler Arena last night. With 7:51 left in the first half, McGee took a pass from Mark Bodnar and net- ted a lay-up to bypass Rudy Tom- janovich on the all-time list. With that out of the way, the 6-5 senior forward proceeded to work toward first place, hitting on a batch of fast break layups, two dunks, a couple driving one- handers, and only one outside jumper. McGee went on to sink 13 of 19 from the floor for a game high before he fouled out midway through the second half. McGee's performance provided the major excitement of the night, however, as the overmatched Flashes were never in the game. Play was sloppy in the early going, as the two teams combined to commit 22 first-half turnovers. In one two-minute stretch, in fact, Michigan threw the ball away three times in a row. And sure enough, when Thad Garner finally broke that string of slip-ups with a fast- break two-hand slam, he was assessed a technical foul for hanging on the rim. Nevertheless, the Wolverines had lit- tle trouble pulling ahead of the visitors from Kent State. Out-rebounding and out-running the smaller opponents, the Blue cagers were never behind. Leading 8-5 five minutes into the game, Michigan proceeded to put the game out of reach, outscoring Kent State 22-8, to go up by 19 with five minutes remaining in the half.

Drew, who entered the game with a 27.6 average in his last eight outings, hit 22 points in the first half and then made eight straight late in the fourth period to ward off a roaring Detroit comeback. The Hawks, whose only previous road victory this season was in Detroit on Oct. 18, shot in front 79-59 with 2:24 left in the third period before the Pistons exploded with 15 consecutive points over the next 5:43 to cut the gap to 79-74. Two baskets by Phil Hubbard started the Detroit uprising and then Terry Tyler and Larry Drew combined to later pull Detroit to within 92-88 of the Hawks with 2:30 to go. Drew hit three straight baskets to settle the issue.

As the second half began, the Blue hoopsters picked up where they left off, hitting the first four buckets of the half, six of which came from McGee. Kent State Coach Ed Douma then called a timeout, but it didn't help his team much. 2 1/1 0/0 0 200 38/66 21/28 40 KENT STATE MIN FG/A FT/A 26 14' 9 26 20 16 31 16 12 15 5 10 0/3 1/6 2/2 4/10 2/7 0/2 9/15 5/9 5/9 1/5 0/0 2/4 0/0 0/0 0/0 1/1 0/0 0/0 3/5 2/3 2/2 0/1 0/0 2/3 R 5 I 1 2 2 1 4 3 2 4 36 A PF Pts. 0 0 0 0 3 2 0 4 4 3 3 9 3 3 4 1 0 0 0 3 21 1 1 12 0 0 12 0 1 2 0 0 0 2 1 6 10 19 72 200 31/72 10/15 lip __ _ r- 1 ' - i U Action SportsWear HOME OF "CHEAP BIGFOOT" Tired of PAYING Mor WAMPUM for those Big Canoes?

"It was a really exciting game," said freshman sensation Lori Gnatkowski, Who pumped in 19 points for the win- ners. "We really wanted to win bad and at halftime we really got ourselves psyched up." The Wolverines had to overcome a 50- 41, halftime deficit and thwart a furious comeback attempt by CMU which saw Chippewa freshman Karen Waters miss on a shot at the buzzer.

"We played really good," commen- ted Gnatkowski. "If we continue to play well, we'll have a chance at winning the state title. But a lot depends on our fast- break offense and our defense." Michigan implemented a ball- hawking pressure defense on the Chip- pewas which forced some crucial tur- novers down the stretch run. Six-foot five-inch center Patrice Donovan played a key role on defense as she blocked five Chippewa shots. Coach Gloria Soluk said earlier in the season that she hoped the team can im- prove on last year's 8-20 record and finish above .500. Of course, it remains to be seen if the loss of junior Katy Mc- Namara, who quit last week, will be detrimental to the team's chances. "The loss of Katy will hurt some," said one player. "She had some really good moves." Michigan's next two games will be played on the road.against Louisville December 13, and Illinois, December 20. . I 2 blocks off State 406. E.
