Michigan couldn't seem to get off an undeflected pass and Georgia Tech couldn't seem to make an uncon- tested layup. The Ramblin' Wreck shot 36.3 percent on layups. IN DEFENSE of both teams, it was aggressive defense at both ends. The Yellow Jackets, in particular, baffled the Wolverines with a swarming trap defense. "I think they knew all our plays," said Joubert. "We'd call a play and they'd already be there." "We were shooting too early," said Michigan head coach Bill Frieder. "We weren't getting the weak-side people in the game. Stumblin' Wreck MICHIGAN "WE WERE very tight in the early going, so I tried relaxing them a little at the half. I told them a joke. I said 'Hell, everyone in the country is sit- ting at home with his girlfriend wat- ching Miami and Notre Dame with a martini in their hand."' The Wolverines did clean up their act a bit in the second half. Bruce Dalrymple picked up his fourth foul just four minutes into the action. He was replaced by sophomore Craig Neal (0-7), leaving the door wide open for Joubert. THE JUNIOR guard led the comeback. Joubert wasn't just leading the team in scoring, he gave Michigan a little floor direction - something not seen in the first half. Following a Price missed free throw, the Judge connected on a 16- foot jumper to pull Michigan to within one, 31-30 with 9:33 left in the game. Robert Henderson tied the game at 31 on a free throw following a foul by Tech's Antoine Ford and Tarpley gave the Wolverines their first lead of the game with 8:08 left. THE WOLVERINES never trailed the rest of the way, sinking nine of their last ten free throws to preserve the victory. For its part, Georgia Tech never got on track. The Yellow Jackets were sorely impaired by a Price-less offen- se. "Price has been going out to prove that he's the best guard in the coun- try," said Cremins. "The pressure on him is tremendous." PRICE SEEMED more willing to blame himself. "It just didn't feel good today," he said after the game. "I didn't go out there with the feeling that I had to prove anything. I'm not worried about being a hero one day and a bum the next. I go out and play for coach Cremins and the team. I Who's the MV MinFG/A FT/A Rellford....... Wade.......... Tarpley .........

With three seconds left, Michigan was whistled for two penalties, giving Ohio State a two-man advantage to start the second. On both power play' opportunities, the Buckeyes scored: They added three more goals in the period, forcing a hasty exit for Tim Makris and setting the stage for Gryba's heroics.
