Tarpley's three-point play with 13:57 in the second half was the pivotal point of the game. The 6-11 senior s layup sparked a 13-point run to put the Wolverines up 56-44. "The key in that stretch was we just. really picked up the defense," Joubert said. "That caused turnovers and fast shots and gave us the ball and easy baskets." Michigan took a 33-32 lead into the locker room at intermission when Joubert connected on a 10-foot jumper with five seconds remaining in the half. The two teams had traded the lead throughout the first frame, with balanced scoring from four of Iowa's starters. Hawkeye center Al Loren- zen, in foul trouble most of the day, was held to just two points in the con- test. Keeping the cause alive at the other end was Michigan forward Richard Rellford, who poured in five of six shots from the floor to record all of his 11 points in the first 20 minutes. "Don't underestimate Rellford's performance," Frieder said. "He was the guy that kept us in the game in the first half. He was sensational when we were struggling some." The struggle was under the glass, where Michigan normally dominates opponents. "We didn't think we were aggressive enough on the boards" the Michigan mentor said.

Tarpley finished with 12 points and three rebounds in 23 minutes of action. throws as a result of second and third efforts on the offensive board in the first half. We really got after them on that. That was the biggest adjust- ment that I thought we made." "We started crashing the boards even harder in the second half," Tar- pley agreed. "I thought that was the key." Another struggle for Michigan was in the foul department where Tarpley again got into trouble early. In a two- minute span midway through the first half, the Wolverine center committed three infractions and sat out the remainder of the stanza. The third whistle came at 10:41 when Tarpley tried to block Bill Jones' shot under the basket. Tarpley was sent to boil on the bench and Frieder fumed. So much so, in fact, that the sixth-year coach earhed a quick technical - his second in as many games. "That was a bad call on Tarpley's third foul - terrible call," Frieder explained after the game. "He got out of the way and it wasn't even close, so I told (referee London Bradley) about it." While Bradley heard the complain- ts, it was Glen Rice who saw the dirty laundry. The freshman forward got nailed in the head by Frieder's towel when the coach chucked it toward the bench. Michigan's reserves didn't take the gesture personally, though, and came up with solid performances.

It was college basketball at its very finest, from the bruising play on the court to the coaches' playful com- ments off it. Yes, it was comedy night at the Crisler Arena press room following the game, featuring both head coaches shooting from the hip with some amusing lines. First it was Raveling who, instead of making a sappy deification of the Wolverines performance after losing to them, drew a vivid analogy making everything oh so clear. "We just don't have enough firepower right now," said Iowa's third-year head coach. "We're using rifles and those guys are using missiles. It's like the United States versus Libya, and I'll tell you, I hate like hell to be Khadafy." But no, he wasn't through yet. He was just getting started. Just laying down the foundation on the pyramid of comedy. "They talk about proposition 48 and all this stuff, they ought to have a rule where you can make trades. I'd take some of those guys that they had redshirted. They have three guys sitting on the bench that could play for 95 percent of the major colleges in the country. You ought to be able to trade those guys. I'll give you three Big Macs and a shake for (Robert) Henderson." Next on the ticket at the Crisler Improv was Ann Ar- bor's own Bill Frieder. "I have to tell you about a letter I got from a fan. He says 'I'm an avid fan, graduated class of '36 or '42 or something. I just don't know what to do. I'm so disap- pointed in the team, I don't know what to do. I'm so disappointed in the team, I don't know what's going on. Last year you beat Minnesota by 41. This year you have a better team, their team's not as good, and you only beat them by 36.' He said he was suicidal," said Frieder. "I'm going to write him back and tell him he's got a screw loose and yes, maybe he should commit suicide." Coaches' comedy... ...keeps the game fun Oh, those nutty pranksters. Regardless of how funny the coaches were, however, the mere fact that two major-college coaches can come out after a nationally televised game and poke fun at themselves says a lot for college basketball. It says that at this level, basketball is still a game. One of my disheartening moments as a sportswriter was covering a Detroit Pistons-Boston Celtics game. When I asked Dennis Johnson if he was upset at being benched in the fourth quarter, he said, "No, it's just a job." Not college basketball. No, college ball is something different. It's Steve Stoyko holding Ron Gibas' head so he can't look for his girlfriend during a timeout. It's Gary Grant soaking Frieder's towel with perspiration during a break in the action. It's painted faces waving madly at TV cameras. It was like that on Saturday. Good old-fashioned hard-nosed hoops with all the trimmings played before an enthused audience. Raveling said after the game that this wasn't the way James Naismith intended the game to be played when he started athletes shooting balls into peach baskets. He's wrong. If Naismith had been at Crisler on Saturday he would have been on his feet. He would have been booing when Frieder picked up his second technical in two games ("Canham told me I wasn't working hard enough," said Frieder). He would have been cheering madly when Richard Rellford pounded through an alley-oop just a few seconds later. It's the way the game is meant to be played, for fun, like it was on Saturday. Observations from Crisler: *Butch Wade's four-for-four performance from the free-throw line put him over 50 percent from the line for the first time since his freshman year. *Thursday and Saturday's crowds were a big im- provement over the norm, due to Frieder's recent con- cerns for crowd noise.
