ONE SMALL VOICE By Jeff Bergida The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, February 28, 1984 - Page 11 Blue cagers whip Bucks. i i Michigan looks NCAA-bound... :..Buckeyes headed for Big Apple? Notes, quotes and thoughts coming down the stretch of the Big Ten schedule. . Michigan is in good shape for an NCAA bid. Two home wins and a victory at Northwestern would put the team at 18-10, probably fourth in the league. Four straight make the Wolverines a sure thing. " By losing to Michigan Saturday night, Ohio State put itself in a tough position. The Buckeyes finish at Illinois, Purdue and Indiana, three teams they couldn't beat at home. " The Columbus writers entered the press room after the game singing "New York, New York," a reference to the NIT, the tournament for which the Buckeyes seem destined. h Lotsofkpeople say that Purdue would be the worst team ever to win a Big Ten title. The Boilermakers are just proving that team play is more impor- tant than individual talent. " No one can figure this league out. Ohio State murders Michigan State Wednesday. Indiana does the same to Michigan the next night. Then, over the weekend, the Wolverines beat the Bucks while the Spartans shock the Hoosiers in Bloomington. . " One writer's opinion on the 1984 All-Big Ten team: center Jim Rowinski of Purdue, Wisconsin's forward Cory Blackwell and guard Rick Olson, OSU forward Tony Campbell and Steve Alford, Indiana's great freshman point guard. " Where's Eric Turner? Right now, he's on the second team along with teammate Roy Tarpley. " Speaking of Tarpley, the big guy is on the road to stardom and his coach knows it. "If he does what I tell him to do he's going to be a great player," said Bill Frieder after the OSU game. "He's got to get 25 pounds added..he's got to get much tougher on his defense." g Big Ten player of the year? Rowinski. Coach of the year? Purdue's Gene Keady by a landslide. * Keady on Rowinski: "I don't think Jimmy feels any pressure. He's been through it all now. Anything he gets is gold because he never had anything to start with. How much more can a walk-on ask? He's got to be the basketball story of the country." * Granted, Tim McCormick looks slow and unsure of himself at times but Michigan is a much better team when he's on the floor. The return of the Rock' " The Rock is back. Junior guard Leslie Rockymore shot 75 percent on the last road trip after sitting out two straight. "It felt great," said Rockymore after the OSU win. "It's been tight for a few games and the main thing was getting in and getting to play." Said Frieder, "He's done a great job working hard instead of sulking or pouting." " Austin Carr's commentary on SportsView's Michigan telecasts brings back memories of Bill Russell, formerly (and withgood reason) of CBS. " The Frieder-Knight rematch was quiet. The mouth of Bloomington didn't bring up the events of January's clash at Crisler. It would've been like rub- bing Frieder's face into the ground after the pounding his Hoosiers gave ~' Michigan. t4 The Wolverines got clobbered once again at Assembly Hall. Over the - past three years Indiana has won by margins of 15, 30, and 15 points. Much of the credit must go to the IU fans who demonstrate both spirit and knowledge. " But take heart, Crisler faithful. The fans at St. John Arena in Columbus °aren't a whole lot better than you. There's one small section of extremely vocal students and thousands of people whose college days are long behind them. Sound familiar?, . Sitting right behind the Michigan bench at St. John, one could hear the -Michigan coaching staff constantly shouting at Antoine Joubert while he was on the court. Obviously, a freshman guard needs a lot of guidance but give the guy a break. If he can't handle himself out there, don't play him. OSU's Campbell played his last regular season home game Saturday night. The crowd gave him a lengthy standing ovation before the game but the Wolverines spoiled his finale. Campbell is a class act. Despite his 19- point effort, he placed some of the blame for the loss on his own head. "I myself had a free throw that would have tied it," the forward said. "I didn't make it." " If Michigan is looking for the area in which the most improvement is needed, it would be foul shooting. The Wolverines are hitting only 68.8 per- cent from the line. Look at some individual numbers: McCormick, 64 per- cent; Joubert, 67 percent; Wade, 31 percent. The team has been outscored by =Y67 points from the stripe this season. You're not going to win many close games with those numbers. " Frieder quote of the year: "Going into conference play we're (Big Ten teams are) always (up there) with everybody. But we can't schedule four games in the middle of the season with Monmouth, Ryder, Citadel and Fur- man...If you look at what our teams did (in non-conference play. Illinois State is rated, Indiana beat them. Boston College was rated, Indiana beat them. We beat Georgia...Dayton might get a bid. We beat Dayton without Eric Turner, by 25 points. Ohio State beat Maryland. You can go on and on." " The Minnesota game Saturday will be Dan Pelekoudas' last home game. Don't boo him. By JEFF BERGIDA "Normally when you get your ass beat in Bloomington, Indiana on Thur- sday you lose wherever you go on Saturday," said Michigan coach Bill Frieder Saturday night following the Wolverines' 62-59 victory at Columbus. ''It's tough to recover.'" But recover they did, led by Roy Tar- pley whose season-high 24 points sparked Michigan in its seventh Big Ten victory. THE 6-10 CENTER was a scoring machine in the first half, making nine of 12 shots for 18 points. Tarpley also had six rebounds before halftime and held Buckeye superstar Tony Campbell to seven points. Michigan led, 32-27, at the intermission. Eldon Miller's club came out flying in the second half and ran off a 9-2 streak to gain a 36-34 lead. Tim McCormick and Rich Rellford were on Michigan's bench in foul trouble and it looked like the Wolverines were headed for another road loss. But Michigan didn't die. Lelie Rockymore sparked a rally, con- tributing a baseline jumper, a six- footer and an assist on a Tarpley goal that put the Wolverinestahead to stay. IT WASN'T EASY to hold off Ohio State, however. The lead never ex- ceeded six points as Michigan missed seven free throws down the stretch. OSU had several chances to pull even but fell short each time. Eric Turner finished with 12 points, including a perfect eight-for-eight from the line. Despite the low point total, the co-captain was a settling force all night and was pleased with his effort. "I didn't shoot well tonight but my job is to run the team," said Turner. "I did come up with some crucial free throws at the end though." Indiana 72, Michigan 57 At Indiana, tough defense powered the Hoosiers to a 72-57 victory over the Wolverines. Indiana's tight, man-to- man rattled Michigan into 36-percent field-goal shooting. Turner missed all seven of his first- half shots. He finished four-for-16. Tarpley hit only two of nine shots from the floor. Several Wolverines shot air- balls. AT THE OTHER END of the court, Steve Alford, Stew Robinson and Uwe Blab scored 18, 16 and 14 points, respec- tively, for the Hoosiers. McCormick led Michigan with 16 points. The loss dropped the Wolverines' record at Assembly Hall to 0-13. -JIM DWORMAN charge from Ricky Hall and made two free throws, Michigan was up by one. The pressing defense that gained the Wolverines a lead then cost them the game however, as Rich Rellford fouled Reid off the inbounds pass. The 5-9 guard completed a one-and-one to finish with 18 points. Turner missed a long jumper with eight seconds left and Purdue had another big win. Boilermaker coach Gene Keady was ecstatic after the game. "It's just a situation where our kids came through in the clutch," said the man who is now 8-0 against the Wolverines. "I'm glad we got Michigan out of the way because they're going to beat a lot of people." Rowinski was the game's high scorer with 22. Roy Tarpley had 19 points for Michigan. -JEFF BERGIDA Blab ...14 points for Hoosiers Purdue 67, Michigan 64 The Boilermakers made 29 out of 33 free throw attempts, including 12 in overtime, as Jim Rowinski and Steve Reid led Purdue to a 67-64 victory at Crisler Arena, February 18. Although Michigan outshot Purdue by a large margin, the Wolverines could not pull away. Michigan guards com- mitted 14 turnovers while the Boiler- maker backcourt threw away only five. WITH THE GAME tied at 55, Michigan held the ball the final three minutes of regulation time for one last shot but Turner passed off to Antoine Joubert, who missed at the buzzer. In the overtime, Purdue controlled the tap and ran off to a three-point lead. But Michigan cut it to 63-62 at the 1:05 mark and when Dan Pelekoudas took a Last-minute field goal lifts Panthers over Blitz :Rowinski By MIKE McGRAW Special to the Daily PONTIAC - It was the beginning of a different season for the USFL but the defending champion Panthers looked the same. Michigan rode a balanced attack, steady defense and a 19-yard field goal by Novo Bojovic on the last play of the game to gain a 20-18 victory over the Chicago Blitz last night in its season opener at the Silverdome. THE PANTHERS took over at their own 33 with 2:32 remaining after a 13 yard punt return by Anthony Carter. They then marched down to the Chicago two in eight plays, the key being a 28-yard pass to Ken Lacy to begin the drive. Chicago got the lead midway through the fourth quarter when Jim Stone blocked a David Greenwood punt and the Blitz's Keith MaGee blew an easy touchdown by kicking the ball out of the end zone for a safety. The two teams scored on the first four possessions of the game, the second Panther touchdown being a 12-yard toss from Bobby Hebert to Carter. The wide receiver from Michigan caught seven. passes for 108 yards in the contest. CHICAGO TOOK A 16-14 lead late in the second quarter but missed the extra point after a high snap, Bojovic then kicked a field goal to put the Panthers in the lead at the half. Lacy was the offensive star for Michigan with 98 yards rushing on 16 attempts and 58 yards receiving. Hebert, despite missing the first weeks of training camp, was sharp, com- pleting 20 out of 34 passes for 296 yards and no interceptions. A somewhat disappointing but en- thusiastic crowd of 22,428 witnessed the game.
