4 SPORTS The Michigan Daily Saturday, January 22, 1983 Page 6 WITTMAN, KITCHEL LEAD HOOSIERS Inconsistent Blue faces No. 2 IU If _ I; full court PRESS By LARRY MISHKIN Special to the Daily BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The chan- ces of Michigan winning today's basketball game with the Indiana Hoosiers in Bloomington are roughly equivalent to the chances that the falling Soviet satellite will drop in the Diag. That's not to say that the Wolverines won't win, but they've never beaten In- diana in Assembly Hal in the 11 years it's been open. In fact, the last time a Michigan hoops team won in Bloomington, was in 1965 when coach See more Sports, Page 7 Bill Frieder was studying for his MBA degree at Michigan. THERE'S NO reason this afternoon's game (4:00 p.m.) should be any dif- ferent. Coming off an 89-85 win against Michigan State on Thursday, the Hoosiers, ranked second in the nation, are 13-1 and 3-1 in conference play. The senior-laden team has lived up to its pre-season billing and is a good bet to go far in the NCAA tournament. The Wolverines, on the other hand, saw their Big Ten record fall to 2-3 and their overall mark to 11-4 following their 75-68 loss to Ohio State on Thur- sday. Much of the inexperience that Frieder predicted would be a factor this year with five freshmen, is beginning to show. THIS inexperience could prove to be fatal again as the young Michigan squad must play in the unfriendly con- fines of Assembly Hall, where a full house of 17,000 die-hard Hoosier fans is as common as a tournament appearan- ce by a Bobby Knight-coached team. Besides the crowd factor though, the Wolverines will have their hands full trying to shutdown the high-powered Indiana offense that has been averaging 74.5 points a game during the Big Ten season. The bulk of the Hoosier attack comes from their high-scoring forward tandem of Randy Wittman and Ted Kit- chel who are averaging 22.9 and 24.0 points a game respectively. The key to a Michigan victory would be to shut- down one, or both, of the two, but Frieder knows that will not be easy. "Both are great players, great. shooters and capable of having big games," said the Michigan coach. "We have to do a good job on both of them without letting the other players get loose. You have to remember they played on the national championship team a few years back." TEAMING UP with Wittman and Kitchell in the front court will be 7-2 center Uwe Blab, averaging 8.7 points and 3.1 rebounds a game. The West German native recently won back the starting spot from Steve Bouchie who was averaging a meager 3.8 points. The Hoosier backcourt is lead by Jim Thomas, another member of Indiana's 1981 National Championship squad. Thomas, averaging nine assists a game, will be joined at guard by either Tony Brown or Winston Morgan. KNIGHT realizes, however, that despite Indiana's recent success, the Hoosiers can't be too cautious. "Where you really have to be careful now," said the Indiana coaching legend, "Is that even though we're back home, we have to play. We can't just I f show up and expect good things to hap- pen. We have to play as well as we can play." Indiana may have an additional ad- vantage over the Wolverines this year. The new, three-point play that has haunted Michigan all year could kill it again as Indiana has used the new rule better than any other team in the con- ference, (nine for 11). Wittman is a perfect five-for-five from behind the bonus line and Kitchel is nearly as good, shooting at a four-for-five clip. Playing the optimist, Frider said, "I hope both of them will have a bad game." But checking himself, the realist added, "I don't think that's ever happened before." You can't sell this man any satellite insurance. THE LINEUPS MICHIGAN (15) Robert Henderson.. (6-9) (40) Richard Rellford.... (6-6) (44) Tim McCormick... (6-10) (25) EricTurner.........

Not the Campbell with the droopy eyelids. Nor the one whose shorts don't fit right and jersey always is untucked. You see, Tony Campbell does not look like a ball player. He does, however, play like one. The 6-7 forward scored almost at will as he led Ohio State to a 75-68 victory over Michigan Thursday night in Columbus. And that is why every team needs a player like Campbell - he scores with remarkable proficiency. The junior's points came from inside and out, whether covered or not. More often than not he is guarded, but it really doesn't matter because Cam- pbell is a take-charge player on offense. When the Buckeyes need a basket they look for him and he looks for the ball. And when he gets the ball, his opponents look out. Campbell abused Michigan's Richard Rellford and Butch Wade for 23 points. He shot over them, under them, and through them. "He's a great player," noted Wolverine coach Bill Frieder. "He worked hard to get good shots and he hit them." Rellford, Frieder hopes, will someday become Michigan's answer to Tony Campbell. "That would be nice," the third-year head coach said. "And Rellford's that type of player. But you've got to remember - he's only a freshman." It shows, especially when he's on the same court as the Ohio State star. * Campbell hits his layups. Rellford misses some of his. " Campbell shoots with confidence. Rellford does not. " Campbell powers his way to the basket. Rellford often avoids contact. There is nothing unusual about any of this. Freshmen will play like fresh- men. The question is, will Rellford ever play like Campbell? Probably. Rellford will hit his layups as soon as he realizes how difficult it is to miss a straightforward dunk. He already possesses an air of confidence. He simply has to transfer it from the lockerroom to the basketball court. And his shot is as smooth and accurate as Campbell's. Add to this Rellford's physique, 230 pounds spread over a 6-5 frame, and what you have is a bundle of dynamite waiting to explode. Where and when he detonates is a matter of speculation. It took Campbell three years to become an outstanding collegiate player. He learned by wat- ching teammates Herb Williams, Jim Smith, and Clark Kellogg perform. Rellford has no trio of teammates to study. Michigan's senior forwards shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as Williams, Smith, and Kellogg. Instead, Rellford could learn by watching Campbell. Thursday night, he had an excellent view. Game time is 4:05 p.m. at Assembly Hall. The game will be broadcast on WAAM (1600 AM) and WWJ (950 AM). Cagers fall despite a lot of Harte By MIKE BERRES On a night when the Michigan Pep Band played with as much excitement as the wdmen's basketball teams, Ohio State defeated Michigan, 82-62, in Big Ten play last night at Crisler Arena. The Buckeyes quickly assumed a commanding lead in the first half and never allowed the Wolverines to get closer than nine points after just six minutes had been played. Ohio State was able to control the offensive boards during the entire first half, usually get- ting more than one shot. "I THOUGHT that we played tight in the first half," said Michigan coach Gloria Soluk. "They're big inside and that hurt our game plan which was to try and get inside for the short shot off the screen." The Wolverine women were led in both scoring and rebounding by Peg Harte. The sophomore grabbed nine rebounds and scored 31 points to match her career high she notched earlier in the season against Michigan State.bd Soluk also singled out Sandy Svoboda for playing a good game in a losing ef- fort. "Our bright spot was Svoboda," she said. "We need play like that from Amy (Rembisz) and Sandy. They both seem to be playing with little more con- fidence," said Soluk. The Buckeyes had very balanced scoring as ten women scored at least three points each. Theresa Busch came off the bench to pace them in scoring with 14. Julie Plank, Carol Hamilton, and Carla Chapman also scored in double figures. Francine Lewis pulled down eight rebounds for the Buckeyes who are now 4-0 in the Big Ten and 12-2 overall. Ohio State had a 15-point halftime lead due mainly to some torrid shooting. They hit 53 percent for the game while the Wolverines shot just below the 40 percent mark. The contest was decided at the half though as the Buckeyes used their substitutes for much of the second half. Michigan fell to 1-4 in the Big Ten, and 3-12 overall. Soluk added that the play of Orethia Lilly also hurt the Wolveirnes' effort. "We look to her as a leader and tonight she didn't have it," she said. "Lilly was under a lot of pressure." Redskins down leers, 5-1 By MIKE MCGRAW Special to the Daily OXFORD, Ohio - A landmark victory occurred for Miami of Ohio last night as they defeated Michigan for the first time in the school's hockey history, 5-1. But one has to wonder whether it really was the Wolverines on the ice. Except for the maize and blue uniforms, the visiting team bore little resemblance to the offensive-minded hockey team seen in Yost Arena. MICHIGAN was plagued by sloppy passing and stick- handling in the Miami zone and totalled just 17 shots on goal for the game. "We were holding the puck too long. They beat us to the puck and played the body real well," said Michigan coach John Giordano. "One day we'll play great and the next day we're terrible. It's discouraging as hell. We had our best week of practice all year and came up with the worst perfor- mance." Almost the entire first period was played in the Michigan end of the rink as the Redskins dominated play and outshot the Wolverines, 12-3. HOWEVER, OF Michigan's three shots, one went in. Goalie Jon Elliott was perfect on the other end and Michigan left the ice on top, 1-0. amassed three goals in 2:31. Mike Neff went off the ice at 32 seconds on a very questionable call and the Redskins took almost the entire two minutes to cash in. After keeping the puck in the Michigan end the whole time, Steve Wheeldon put in a rebound after Elliott made two saves from close range. A minute later, Dave Corrigan took a pass that split two Wolverine defenders and skated in alone to put Miami up, 2-1. RICK KURALY ended the onslaught as he tapped in Mark Beaton's shot from the blue line. Before the period ended, another Dave, this one McClintock, scored on a slow shot from the left point that just eluded a screened Elliott. Midway through the third period, Mike Kirwin finished the scoring for Miami as he fired in a rebound. "I'm not taking anything away from Miami, but we beat ourselves tonight," said Giordano. "I know we can play bet- ter than thata" FIRST PERIOD Scoring: 1. M-Speers (Tippett, Goff) :52.
