"He 100D oints for the first time since 1980 after the Wolverines rais 103-73 eder said Coach Rice and his club may sleep eir record better tonight with the knowledge that they were better than a practice. Fri ed th Youngstown State came up with a brilliant new strategy last night for defensing bigger, more talented teams - foul everyone in sight and hope they miss the free throws. Unfortunately for coach Mike Rice and his Penguins, Michigan converted 31 of 39 attempts from the charity stripe, and clobbered the visitors from Ohio, 103-73. YOUNGSTOWN committed 28 fouls in the contest. Its two tallest players, 6- 7 forward Ray Robinson and 6-7 center Troy Williams, were in foul trouble from the outset and both were gone with eight minutes left in the rout. Rice knew going in that Michigan held all the car- ds and was just hoping for a lot of luck. "I thought if they had any weaknesses at all, it was the outside shooting," said Rice, who saw his team suffer its first defeat against four vic- tories. "So we were going to sit back and really let them beat us from the outside." Michigan's outside shooting was anything but weak. The Wolverines made 55 percent of their field goal at- tempts in the first half and finished at 53 percent. Led by the outstanding play of freshman guard Gary Grant, Michigan jumped out to 17-5 advantage, stretched the lead to 15 at the half, and blew away the hapless Penguins in the second stanza.

The colorful point guard finished with 19 points, six assists and five steals. The Canton, Ohio native was hot from the outset, scoring four of Michigan's first eight points. But it was in the second half that he really shined. Grant put in a 15-foot jumper at the 16-minute mark to put the Wolverines up, 59-38. He followed that up with a quick steal and another jumper to stretch the lead to 23. The freshman credited assistant coach Steve Fisher for the success he had in guarding Youngstown point guard Bruce Timko. "COACH Fisher told me to make him go right because he's left-handed," said the 19-year-old, whose friends call him "The General." "So I did that and he couldn't dribble that good with his right hand. Everytime he tried to switch over, I was there to put pressure on him and tip the ball away.'' Later in the half, Grant followed up yet another steal with a Michael Jor- dan-patented dunk. He then forced a turnover on Youngstown's next possession to earn a standing ovation from the sparse crowd of 8,387. "Gary Grant showed me a great deal," praised Rice. "He's going to be a major league guard, no doubt about it." we nee. "Personally, this showed that I can shoot and I can play defense," under- stated Grant. The lack of opposition provided Frieder with an opportunity to look at his reserves. Michigan's "other" freshman, center Steve Stoyko, saw 14 minutes of playing time and became an instant crowd favorite by diving after loose balls and hustling all over the court. At one point, the 6-9 Stoyko lan- ded in the woodwind section of the band. "I THOUGHT this was a good oppor- tunity for me," said the Bay Village, Ohio native, who wound up with six poi- nts and three boards. "Maybe I hustled too much and made a few bad fouls but I played intensely and aggressively." Youngstown State, which is con- sidered a power in the Ohio Valley con- ference, couldn't do anything at all. Rice placed some of the blame on the officiating. "Our whole (strategy) was box out, box out, box out," he said. "And I really think that (with) one referee, the game has past him by as far as boxing out. He called four boxing out (fouls against Youngstown) and that's what took the big guys out of the game."
