"We have been getting the ball
inside a little more to Mills. If they
don't double-team him, he has to
make a power move and score,"
Fisher said.
Rumeal Robinson has been his
usual self, scoring points, finding
the open shooters, and playing
strong defense. Robinson is second
in the tournament with assists,
averaging 8.3 per game.
Demetrius Calip has stepped in to
give the Wolverines the ball-hand-
ling guard they were searching for.
Told by ex-coach Bill Frieder to
consider transferring, Calip came in
against North Carolina and held Jeff
Lebo to only two free throws after
Lebo had scored a quick 17.
Mark Hughes, Mike Griffin, and
Loy Vaught also have played key
roles for Michigan, which has never

Brooklyn,to be exact. John Morton,
the Hall's leading scorer at 17.3
points per game, has been somewhat
shut down in the tournament, but
has scored 30-plus points on seven
different occasions this year.
Daryll Walker, the second-leading
rebounder in the tournament at 10.3
per game, is the Hall's other
forward. He is only 10 points away
from the 1,000 point plateau. Gerald
Greene is the final Pirate starter.

Cooke's fabulous discography? A

unspectacular singing style certainly
doesn't gain anything from the
comparisons he seems insistent on

then at least he can be mentioned in
the same breath as Lou Reed and
Billy Bragg.

A lot has been written about the
cost of this film, but from what I
can see every penny went into what
is on screen. Last year's fantasy film
Willow also cost nearly $50 mil-
lion, but it pales in comparison to
Baron Munchausen.Willow was a
hackneyed ripoff of every George
Lucas film and, even at its worst,
Baron Munchausen isnever trite.

The rest of the starting line up
includes Nick Anderson, Lowell
Hamilton, and Steve Bardo, the
team's defensive specialist. Marcus
Liberty, who started while Gill was
out, also plays a key role.
If there is one "weakness" on this
Illinois team, it is the outside
shooting, where Gill has been the
only consistent scorer.
Indiana won the Big Ten this
year, but a strong finish helped sec-
ond-place Illinois capture the top
seed in the Midwest regional. The
Illini went to work from there,
knocking off McNeese State, Ball
State, Louisville, and Syracuse to
earn a berth in Seattle.
