Page 8 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, February 24, 1989 Bud's team looking to keep winning ways intact vs. MSU BY ADAM BENSON Last month, the Michigan State women's basketball team stymied the Michigan offense on their way to a 47-45 victory at East Lansing. Currently, the Spartans are holding their opponents to a 39 percent shooting percentage from the field. Yet Michigan coach Bud VanDeWege looks for more offense tonight when the two teams have their rematch at Crisler Arena, "I expect a lot more points to be scored, both teams will put a lot more points on the board." The Spartans (14-9 overall; 8-5 Big Ten (fourth place)) have one of the tallest frontcourts in the conference with forward Dawn DeYoung and center Sue Forsyth, both six-footers. However, the Wolverines have improved greatly in recent weeks, winning three of their last five games. Center Val Hall and for-ward Joan Rieger have combined to form a strong set up front for Michigan. "Our confidence is high right now," said VanDeWege about his teams recent streak, "we are playing our best ball of the season." The Wolverines will also be helped by having guard Tempie Brown back in the lineup. She did not make the trip to Michigan State last time and the Wolverine scoring output was below average. Steve Blonder ff- . As Burson is off the court, the Buckeyes just fade away COLUMBUS - Ohio State showed up to play last night but something was missing out on the court. This six-foot guard is better known around Columbus as "the leader." But against Michigan, all Jay Burson could do was sit on the bench and watch his teammates try and discover their own identity. For the Buckeye players, it wasn't just a matter of wreaking revenge on Michigan for last month's trouncing in Ann Arbor. Ohio State wanted to show that a fractured vertebrae in the neck of their player-of-the-year candidate could be overcome. "You could see in their eyes that they really wanted the game," Michigan center Loy Vaught said. "But you could also see with every given down, and from watching last night's game, one can easily ascertain why. Burson meant leadership. The senior ran the offense, ran the fast-break, lead the transition defense.... He did the intangibles necessary for a team to win. "Jay was our leader," sophomore center Perry Carter said. "When it was crunch time, we could go to him. We are still looking for someone to step forward and take over that leadership role." On offense, Ohio State players stood around as if they were expecting a miracle from heaven. And after every miss, players could only look over with despair at coach Gary Williams, who doing everything he could to eke out a victory. But it was not ordained to be. Michigan players and coach Bill Frieder empathized with Ohio State, but it didn't matter. The player the Buckeyes usually turn to was sitting on the bench in a red sweat shirt, his head being kept immobile by a brace screwed in in four places. "One reason it hurts is not being able to play these last seven games and hopefully the tournament," Burson said yesterday. "To put in all this time to get to where I wanted to be - the leader, to be the one they go to in the stretch - and all of a sudden, it's gone." Added Michigan coach Bill Frieder: "They are never gonna be as great as they would have been with Burson." A loss to Michigan, yet the season is not over for Ohio State. But losing a leader with no replacement in sight could make March seem a long ways away for this group of Buckeyes. a a possession, they were frustrated."

"You can't stop him. You can only try to contain him. He can do whatever he wants on the court." That was true, not only for Robinson, but for the whole Michigan team in the first half. The Wolverines shot 57 percent from the field in jumping out to a 45-26 halftime lead over the previously- ranked Buckeyes, who were playing without Big Ten Player-of-the-Year candidate Jay Burson, who was out with a broken vertebrae in his neck. The 26 points was Ohio State's lowest halftime point total of the season. "The thing that hurt us the most was not coming out with the intensity needed to play Michigan," said Williams, whose team shot 35 percent from the floor in both halfs. "We just couldn't getit going in the first half." Sophomore center Perry Carter, the team's leading scorer with Burson injured, paced Ohio State with 23 points. But Carter, who scored the first six Buckeye points and eight of their first ten, disappeared during the rest of the first half. The loss of Burson meant more than just the 22 points-per-game the six-foot guard offered, it meant leadership. His fellow tri-captains, Tony White and Jerry Francis only provided the Buckeyes five combined points on one of 13 shooting and were completely stymied both inside and outside by the Wolverine defense. "That situation (the loss of Burson) hurt them tremendously," Wolverine center Loy Vaught, who scored 15 points in the game, said. "You could see in their eyes that they really wanted the game, but you could also see with every given possession, that they were frustrated." 'M' hoopsters working hard during vacation COLUMBUS - Michigan students may be taking off the upcoming week for a mid-semester vacation, but for Wolverine basketball players there is no break. The first test will come tomorrow in the form of a formidable Wisconson squad that gave Michigan its first conference loss of the season, a 71-68 heartbreaker in Madison. - Steve Blonder .S ....N '" f !
