w ! ! w w BiG TEN' Continued from Page 6 recruiting years in history, it has already been tainted by the season- ending injury of 6-10 center Mike Peplowski. First-year forward Matt Steigenga, who possesses a name that won't be difficult to pronounce in the near future, and junior Ken Redfield will lead coach Jud Heath- cote's Spartans. Minnesota coach Clem Haskins proclaims that he has the best rebounder in the conference. Again and again. Granted Richard Coffey, led the Big Ten in rebounding last year, but he will not be the antedote to the Gophers losing disease. With the top five leading scorers returning sophomores and juniors, the Go- phers will be a power in the Big Ten. Just not this year. Unfortunately, the story of the lonely kid on the block will continue this year for North- western. While the addition of North Carolina State transfer Walker Lambiotte will help, the loss of UM News in The Daily 764-0552 three-time honorable mention All- American Shon Morris will be too much to overcome. Coach Bill Foster's Wildcats could be the only team in the lower division that won't improve this year. "The Big Ten action is unbelieveably supreme," said Vitale, who ends as no one else can end. "Unbelievable." . Preseason Prognosticators In the 1988-89 preseason, the Michigan men's basketball team has been called one of the country's best. Here is how the experts rate the Wolverines. PUBLICATION RANK Inside Sports No. 1 United Press International No. 2 Street & Smith No.3 Associated Press No. 3 Sports Illustrated No. 4 The Sporting News No. 5 Sport Magazine No. 6 i Z IG THE ORIGINAL DESIGN THE ULTIMATE SWEATSHIRT WOMEN Maturity keys Wolverinel 1 1 success Continued from Page 3 The inside-outside combination of Brown and Feldman should be tough for opposing teams to defend. With Brown's driving ability and Feldman's deadly outside shot, the Wolverines should be able to score at will against zone defenses. Sophomore Carol Szczechowski, the most physical player on the team, will move from her st ,ing forward position of last season to off guard this season. - - "She is a player that knows how to win," said VanDeWege. "(Szczechowski) is someone you want out there when its crunch time." Academic All-Big Ten award winner Tanya Powell will start at the, other forward position. Powell, a junior, was sixth in the Big Ten in rebounding last season and will be called upon to repeat her performance. Powell's fiery attitude allows her to be not only the best rebounder, but the team's emotional leader as well. Junior center Lisa Reynolds will be lost for the year, as her academic performance does not meet minimum Michigan eligibility requirements. Replacing her at center will be junior Joan Rieger. Rieger will need to be more aggressive this season in order to compete with the stronger teams. "Joanie (Rieger) is not the focal point of the offense, but she executes extremely well," said VanDeWege. "She has been working on her inside moves and is emerging as an offensive presence. She is a very capable Big Ten center." Junior forward Leslie Spicer, a starter for 14 games last season, will be the team's sixth player. As the team's best defensive player, Spicer will be called upon to make the big steal and guard the other team's best player. "She is the perfect sixth man," said VanDeWege. "I wish I could start her but we have so much wealth at that (forward) position." While the offense is obviously stable with the likes of Feldman, Brown and Powell, defense remain's the team's main weakness. VanDeWege has been stressing defense so far in practice. This is evident from the practice jerseys worn by the players that have the word "Defense" written on them. "Our man-to-man defense is much improved, much more aggressive," said VanDeWege. "We'll probably foul a lot, but we want to be the ones making them (the opposition) do things they don't want to do." This team, with the exception of Feldman, are solely recruits of VanDeWege for the first time in his four years here. This is the team he wanted and now is the time for him to win.
