19, to draw Michigan within one at
45-44.
The game swayed back and forth
with a crucial moment coming when
Michigan guard Rumeal Robinson
fouled out with 7:38 to play.
Frieder, who has continuously
bemoanded the lack of true guards on
his team, was now at a loss in
trying to stop Edwards, who scored
11 points in the next 4:08 to give
Indiana a three-point lead, 69-66, at
the 3:20 mark.
In what was an interesting twist
at the start of the game, Michigan's
head coach, Frieder was booed louder
than visiting coach Bobby Knight.
However, Frieder's team reacted
positively to the criticism of their
coach by jumping out to a 10-7 lead
behind three pointers by guards Sean
Higgins and Robinson.
But the Hoosiers came back to
take a 14-13 lead. Subsequently,
three lead changes transpired with the
Hoosiers finally taking control of
the half at 20-17, with 10:16.
remaining. Led by Edwards with
eight points and Joe Hillman with
seven, the Hoosiers maintained a
lead until 2:50 remained in the half,
At that time, a Michigan run of
7-4 was lead by Kirk Taylor, who
replaced Robinson, due to early foul
trouble. Taylor, a guard who has
seen a limited amount of playing
time lately, scored on a layup ash
well as assisting on a Loy Vaught
jump shot from the lane to give
Michigan a 34-32 halftime bulge.
'M' drops two close ones on
road, falls to 0-6 in Big Ten

Hopefully, Bud VanDeWege likes watching disaster
movies.
If that is the case, the Michigan women's basketball
coach can someday enjoy watching the video tape of
his team's losses at Northwestern and Wisconsin from
this past weekend.
Forget the 'The Towering Inferno' or 'The Poseidon
Adventure'. VanDeWege would claim that this
weekend's games rank right up there with those two
disaster classics
In both games, Michigan led their opponents late in
the game. Against Northwestern, the Wolverines led
51-50 with 3:17 left in the game. But Wildcat star
Carrie Lawless blazed through the Wolverines for six
of her 18 points in those final minutes to lead the
Wildcats to a 58-51 comeback win.
MICHIGAN had an identical 51-50 lead with 5:40
left against Wisconsin, before the Badgers drowned out
the Wolverine offense. Wisconsin center Janetta
Johnson blocked six shots and grabbed nine defensive
rebounds, while Shelly Rucinski provided 19 points
for the Badgers.
The losses dropped Michigan's record to 0-6 in the
Bi(T Tin
The Wolverines did have several would-be heroes.
Forward Tanya Powell scored a career-high 23 points
against Northwestern on Friday, hitting 11 of 18 shots
from the field.
"Tanya Powell has been our rock and our leader,"
VanDeWege said about his star. "She has had to carry
us in some games. I couldn't ask anything more of
her."
FIRST-YEAR PLAYERS Char Durand and
Leah Wooldridge also put forth noble attempts to save
the slipping Wolverines from falling further into the
Big Ten's cellar. Wooldridge had 10 points against the
Wildcats including two three-pointers, and nine points
against Wisconsin.
Durand, who started over preseason All-Big Ten pick
Tempie Brown, took top scoring honors on Sunday
with 13 points against the Badgers.
But obviously, their good play was not contagious.
As a team, Michigan shot a horrendous 35 percent
against Northwestern, and an even scarier 33 percent
against Wisconsin.
"It was important that we got ourselves in a
position to win," VanDeWege said. "Unfortunately,
our shooting percentage prevented us from coming out
on top. We're simply not putting the ball in the
hoop."

Earlier Amine, ranked No.4, tied
Chuck Poulsen of Indiana and pinned
his Illinois opponent. Amine is now
3-0-2 against the highly-ranked
Poulsen.
AMINE, who still has some
soreness in his knee is expected to
d be healthy for this weekend's team
conference championships in
Indianapolis.
Purdue had the misfortune of
having its two best healthy wrestlers
run into Michigan's two top-ranked
wrestlers. At 134 pounds, three-time
All-American John Fisher met Pat
Fitzgerald. Fisher pinned him.
At 158 pounds, the Boilermakers'
Dave Walter faced All-American Joe
Hoosier Eric Anderson wins the battle
during the first half.
Pantalco. Pantaleo major-decisioned
Walter, 12-3.
Purdue's points came in the
heavyweight match. Purdue's Matt
Lindley tied Michigan's Bob
Potokar, 1-1.
Michigan expects its All-
Americans- Fisher, Pantaleo, Mike
Amine, and Larry Gotcher to win
nearly every match. The surpassing
of expectations by the other
wrestlers is what might lead to a
national championship.
MICHIGAN is the only team to
be ranked ahead of Iowa in the
conference race since 1973.
"We have really pulled together,"
said the 167-pounder Amine. "There
is a lot of closeness. It seems like
its automatic. We don't need to tell
each other to get behind one
another."

Though the Wolverines will face
the conference's premier teams this
weekend, last weekend's results
showed that opposing teams should
concern themselves with every
Wolverine wrestler.
150-pounder Zac Pease has proven
a capable sub for Sam Amine, who
sat out last weekend while making
weight. Pease, still suffering from a
knee injury, has gone 2-2 in the
conference. Pease was pinned by two
highly-ranked wrestlers and won at
Purdue, 8-2.
AFTER LOSING five matches
to stiff competition at the Virginia
Duals, 118-pounder Salem Yaffai,
has rebounded to go 6-0-1, including
a "payback" victory over Mark
Sanfilippo of Purdue on Sunday.
Yaffai, who lost to Sanfilippo at the
Easten Michigan Open is now 4-0 in
Big Ten competition.
Like Yaffai, 126-pounder John
Moore had difficulty at the Virginia
Duals, losing to All-Americans from
Oklahoma State and Penn State. But
since then, Moore, at 3-0-1 has
outclassed his Big Ten competition.
Last weekend, Moore tied Sean Hart
of Indiana and technical-falled his
two other opponents.
Fritz Lehrke has also distinguished
himself. Lehrke, 4-0 in the Big Ten
had two technical falls and decisioned
Todd Coulter of Indiana.
