NORTHWESTERN LIMPS INTO CRISLER
Wolverines to host weakened Wildcats.:

By ADAM MARTIN
Back in November, at the Big Ten
Press Luncheon in Chicago, North-
western basketball coach Rich Falk
had no idea his words were prophetic.
"It's critical that you stay healthy
(in the Big Ten)," Falk declared.
"Disabling injuries are the key to a
team's downfall."
WITH A 1-6 conference record (Nor-
thwestern's only victory came Sunday
when Minnesota forfeited its game
with the Wildcats) due largely to
crippling injuries and the always-
tough Big Ten, Falk can consider
himself a prophet, or at least a teller
of doom.
As of today, the Wildcats have lost
four key players to knee injuries,
three of whom would be probable
starters. The result has Northwestern
coming to Crisler Arena (tonight, 7:30
p.m.) to face eighth-ranked Michigan
(5-2) with an inexperienced lineup,
not one on-court victory, and a hopeful
but uncertain floor leader.
"We've been besieged by injuries,"
said Falk, "but our players are
hanging tough. If we get healthy, we
can be winners really quickly. I think
the important thing is that we concern
ourselves with playing well."
THE TALE of the injured makes
one want to forget that the knee is
necessary to basketball. Two big men,
Dan Ivankovich (6-11, 240) and senior

Brian Pitts (7-0, 210) have been
sidelined because of knee surgery.
Meanwhile, 6-7, 200-pound junior
Chris Berg is still recovering from
reconstructive knee surgery perfor-
med last December. Add Tim Wyss
(6-5, 210), who was lost in a game
against Illinois and recently under-
went arthroscopic knee surgery, and
the Wildcats are limping.
"We're without four of our best
players," Falk lamented. "With those
players healthy and a healthy lineup,
we could reverse our record quickly."
The chances of Northwestern
beginning that reverse against
Michigan are slim. The Wolverines
are coming off a disheartening loss to
sharpshooting Scott Skiles and
Michigan State, despite a solidly
played second half. Expect Michigan
to be hungry, especially after losing
two of its last three contests.
"WE'LL BE ready to go," said a
confident Bill Frieder, Michigan's
head coach. "We have been working
hard (in practice). There hasn't been
any finger pointing or excuses. I don't
have any qualms that our guys will be
ready."
What Frieder is worried about is
overconfidence. Michigan had not
faced a Northwestern-caliber op-
ponent since it demolished the
majority of its non-conference foes.
Frieder fears his club might take the

Wildcats too lightly.
"If you take a team like that
lightly," he said, "they get a little
ahead of you. They get patient. They
start playing over their head, and
they get very tough to handle."
DESPITE FRIEDER'S concern,
the Wolverines should have few
problems handling Northwestern.
Freshman center Shon Morris, who
Falk says has emerged as one of the
top big men in the league, leads the
Wildcats with 16.3 points per game
and 7.0 rebounds. But Morris will
likely have trouble with the experien-
ced Roy Tarpley, the conference's
statistically most efficient (.636 from

the field) offensive player in Rich,
Rellford and Michigan's brawn in the
middle.
"We've got to try not to give theml
(the Wolverines) second and third}
shots because they occupy a lot ofM
space," said Falk. "They're big and4
strong, and some of the best offense'
comes after the shot is missed."
Michigan's rebounding advantage;
however, has been outweighed recen,.
tly by the Wolverines shooting slump...
At 48.9 percent from the field;
Michigan is three percentage points,
behind its Big Ten opponents. The of-
fensive play of Antoine Joubert and
Gary Grant must improve. .

the keys to the victory was "good out-
