Cagers face veteran Volunteer

squad

By BARB McQUADE
Away from the limelight of national
television and the psychological effec-
ts of facing the country's number one
team, perhaps the Michigan basket-
'ball team can play like the offensive
force we've all read about.
The Wolverines host Tennessee (1-
0) tonight at Crisler Arena at 7:30
pim. And while their opponent may

be no Georgia Tech, Michigan will
need more balanced scoring than
Saturday's one-man show by Antoine,
Joubert to win.
WOLVERINE HEAD coach Bill
Frieder has said his team relies on
points from the big men.
"Our front line has problems
scoring and that really concerns me,"
Frieder said. "We have to develop

more consistency in our front line if
we're going to be a great team."
The 3-0 Wolverines can consider
themselves lucky to have escaped
with an undefeated record in the
young season.
BUT IF THE Wolverines' shooting
is a question, so is the status of the
Volunteers. Prognosticators have
them ranked anywhere from 16th in
the nation to seventh in the
Southeastern Conference.
Head coach Don DeVoe sees four
starters return from the 1984-85 Ten-
nessee team that finished third in the
National Invitation Tournament
with a 22-15 record. And Frieder
knows about those former NIT stan-
douts.
Devoe's team beat Southeastern
Louisiana, 88-70, in its only game this
year.
BUT WITHOUT last year's
motivator on offense, guard Micael
Brooks (17 points per game) the
Volunteers may be asking for trouble
at Crisler.
The determining factor in Ten-
nessee's success this season isT6-11
freshman Doug Roth. The high school
All-American center is highly touted
as a powerful rebounder.
DeVoe's biggest challenge is getting
Roth to go to the basket when he gets

the ball. The eighth-year head coach
says he wants his center to shoot the
ball and to keep on shooting.
"HE'S A GIFTED scorer," DeVoe
said. "We'll be a better team because
he's on it."
Michigan won't have to worry about
the Knoxville native when they're
moving the ball, though.
"He's not so gifted at the other end
of the court," the Tennessee head
man said, "He's a good rebounder,"
but he's not that good blocking shots
when he had to move to stop a drive
toward the basket."
The Volunteers' only other threat
under the boards is 6-7 Rob Jones.
The senior pulled down 8.6 caroms as
a center last season, along with 12.4
points. With Roth aboard, he moves
into the power forward slot.
"We don't have the luxury of
moving him from the basket," DeVoe
said. "He's a low post player. He
doesn't shoot the ball well from the
perimeter. His shooting leaves a lot to

be desired."
Without Brooks, Tennessee's back-
court spark will have to come from
point guard Tony White. Nicknamed
"The Wizard," White is pegged as a
quick-moving playmaker with an ac-
curate outside shot. The 6-2 junior

averaged 15.9 points last year as
shooting guard.
Junior Fred Jenkins complements
White with 10.1 points per game, and
forward Anthony Richardson (11.1
p.p.g.) rounds out Tennessee's balan-
ced scoring threat.

OSU SWEEPS 'M' OFF ICE:
Crushed on road again

By MARK BOROWSKY
-By the time last weekend's hockey
series with Ohio State had ended, it
.seemed as if the Michigan hockey
team had tried everything to break its
six-game winless streak on the road.
They tried switching personnel
from line to line. They tried adapting
to OSU's tiny rink by changing their
.style of play. They tried using dif-
nt players because of injuries.
They even tried a game of musical
goalies, changing netminders from
period to period.
,'UNFORTUNATELY for the
Wolverines, the end result was that
the six-game road losing streak
became an eight-game road losing
,streak. Michigan lost two hear-
tbreaking games to the Buckeyes 4-2
Friday night and 6-5 Saturday.
Needless to say, "disappointing"
was the word of the day for the
Wolverines.
"I was disappointed in the outcome
of both games," said Michigan head
coach Red Berenson. "We're finding a
way (on the road) to lose and they're
finding a way to win."
"IT'S VERY, very disappointing,"
said senior captain Frank Downing,
who scored twice in Saturday's loss.
"I know that we're better than that
team (Ohio State)."
* Falling behind 3-0 Friday night,
Michigan fought back and cut the
Ohio State lead to one on goals by
Todd Carlile and Chris Seychel, the
latter coming at 16:23 of the third
period. The Wolverines failed to score
.again, however, and Ohio Stae con-
yerted on an empty net with three
seconds left to make the final score 4-
2.
THE BUCKEYES scored one goal
in each of the first three periods,
*coring on each of Michigan's three
goalies. Tim Makris started the
game, Mike Rossi played the second,
and Bob Lindgren finished the con-
~test. Together they stopped 44 shots,
compared to 24 by Ohio State's Bob

lady cagers
By JEFF RUSH
Consistency often defines the dif-
ference between winning and losing
teams, and with two straight vic-
Jories, the women's basketball team
teems to be gaining some of that
4ought after consistency.
After a 65-50 upset win over Western
Michigan last Wednesday, the
'Wolverines turned around and shot
down the Toledo Rockets yesteday af-
ternoon before over 2000 fans at
Toledo's Centennial Hall. And while
Toledo was packing the hall, it was
'Michigan's precise shooting that won

Krautsak. Outshot almost two to one,
Michigan still managed to keep the
game close.
"I wanted our goalies to concentrate
on one period," said Berenson of his
strategy. "The goalies are going to
have to be more of a factor."
Following Friday's aborted
Wolverine comeback, Ohio State gave
birth to a successful comeback on
Saturday. Falling behind 4-0 in the fir-
st period, the Buckeyes stormed back,
outscoring Michigan 5-1 in the second
period and getting the game-winner
by Darcy Gryba with 3:11 left.

Beating Lindgren on a rebound off of
OSU's Jeff Madill, Gryba scored only
his fourth goal of the season, but made
it count.
MEANWHILE, the Wolverines hit
the post three times, and could not
convert at the end, even after getting
a power play and pulling Lindgren
with 1:18 to play. Such facts are not
the stuff great wins are made of
Ohio State, however, which was 1-5
at home, will take the home wins any
way they come. Michigan, for the
road season, will take any victory,
