Men's Basketball vs. Grambling State Tonight, 7:30 p.m. Crisler Arena The Michigan Daily D' s1 by Ryan Schreiber Daily Basketball Writer SPORTS Women's Basketball vs. Eastern Michigan Tomorrow, 7:30 p.m. Crisler Arena -I Wednesday, November 29, 1989 purs M' in opening win A balanced scoring attack and strong defense led the Michigan women's basketball team to an 87- 55 victory over Youngstown State last night at Crisler Arena. Tanya Powell, Carol Szcz- echowski and Tempie Brown chipped in 12 points apiece, giving the Wolverines a 1-0 record. From the opening tip to the final buzzer, both teams played in aggressive, full-court press defenses, forcing numerous turnovers. While Michigan forced Youngstown State (1-3) into 18 first half mistakes and 29 on the game, they in turn committed 23. Michigan coach Bud VanDe- Wege, while pleased with the defen- sive performance, was unimpressed with his team's ball handling. "To be honest, I though it was more (than 23 turnovers)," VanDeWege said. "The number one thing coming out of this game that we learned is that we have got to do a better job against the pressure. I think we need to attack it better. We were a little tentative, but a lot of that is the first game feeling." According to Youngstown coach Ed DiGregorio, not many teams in the past have shut down his point guard, sophomore Dianne Rappach, as handily as Michigan. "They worked hard on defense tonight," DiGregorio said. "If they work that hard on defense, they're going to give a lot of people problems in the Big Ten. As a freshman last year, nobody handled (Rappach). Michigan did a number on her tonight. They had' her frustrated." After trading baskets for the first four minutes of the game, Michigan went on a 10-2 run to open up an 18-10 lead. In the stretch, all of the five Wolverines on the floor scored. "When we play a lot of people, you hope for good balance and you hope that people come in and get some buckets," VanDeWege said. "I like to see that. It's hard for teams to prepare for one or two individuals when you've got a lot of weapons you can throw at them." Michigan outscored Youngstown over the final ten minutes of the first half, 24-9, giving the Wolverines a 42-24 halftime edge. For 4:27 of the run, Michigan held Youngstown scoreless, in addition to forcing Rappach into her fourth foul of the game with 2:06 remaining. The Wolverines put the game out of reach midway through the second half with an 18-0 run that gave them a 74-39 lead. From there, VanDeWege was able to substitute freely, using all 15 suited players, each of whom scored in the contest. In addition to leading the Wolverines in scoring, co-captain Powell tallied game-highs of 10 rebounds, five steals, and four assists. Six of her rebounds were from the offensive glass. Page 9 Unfurling of banner to hi~ghli~ght opener' by Lory Knapp Daily Basketball Writer It will be amidst all the memories and excitement of last season's National Championship that the Wolverines open their home basketball season against Grambling State tonight at 7:30 p.m. The game will be preceded by a ceremony at which the players and coaches will receive their championship rings and will culminate with the presenting of the NCAA Championship banner. Along with anticipating the ceremony, the Wolverines are also looking to improve upon their last two performances. Although they emerged from the trip out East with a split, coach Steve Fisher is not satisfied with the team's play. "I am pleased with (the team's) attitude and effort, (but) nobody played the way they need to play," said Fisher. "We have got to do a better job at smoothing out the offense. We are laboring in our transition game and we are not running the floor well." Grambling State (1-1), and first-year head coach, Aaron James, comes to Ann Arbor following a 73-69 home victory over Northwestern Louisiana. Having lost to Michigan last year, 102-62, the Tigers should provide the Wolverines with a good opportunity to improve both their record and their depth. "They (Grambling State) have decent players, (but) they don't have a star," said Fisher. "It's a game we should win and it will probably provide an opportunity for more kids to play. "But, it depends on the flow of the game." One of those kids that is likely to see some playing time if the flow of the game allows for it will be rookie guard Tony Tolbert. Tolbert, who has yet to play in a regular season game, is expected to add depth at the guard position, along with fellow newcomer Michael Talley. Poor shot selection is another concern of Fisher's. Against Arizona, the Wolverines made 42.3 percent of their attempted field goals while the Wildcats shot 57.4 percent. At Boston University, Michigan was fortunate enough to miss fewer shots than did the Terriers as Boston shot a mere 34.7 percent from the field. jU"-"JU "'LJ Center Val Hall gathers the ball in Michigan's season opener against Youngstown State last night. Michigan won the game, 87-55. --I, Henderson decides to stay with A's BOEREMA TRAVEL ROSE BOWL a OAKLAND (AP) - Rickey Henderson got a $12 million reward Tuesday for helping the Oakland Athletics win the World Series, signing the first four-year baseball contract since 1985. The A's also included a no-trade clause in the contract, guaranteeing Henderson's presence through 1993. Henderson, the first to sign a four-year deal since Ken Oberkefell with Atlanta in 1985, gets a $1 million signing bonus, $2 million in 1990 and $3 million in 1991 and 1992. It makes the outfielder the second $3 million-a-year player. Minnesota center fielder Kirby Puckett agreed to a $9 million, three-year contract last Wednesday. "My heart was set on playing in Oakland," said Henderson, an Oakland native. "I love Oakland. Deep down inside I felt I probably would. be playing here no matter what the terms." A's general manager Sandy Alderson knew he needed to act quickly to avoid giving Yankees owner George Steinbrenner the chance to lure Henderson back to New York with a better offer. The Yankees traded him to Oakland on June 21. "When Rickey returned to the A's last June he had an immediate and dramatic impact on the team," Alderson said, appearing with Henderson at a news conference at the Oakland Coliseum. "We were all thrilled when Rickey rejoined the A's.. We're equally thrilled that he's staying." Henderson became a free agent four weeks ago, soon after playing a starring role in both the American League playoffs and the World Series. His agent, Rich Bry, had given the A's until the start of next week's winter meetings to sign Henderson before he started negotiating with other teams. "He could have made more with another club," Bry said. "But the contract is excellent an Rickey is happy here. "Rickey unquestionably at this point has the highest guaranteed contract in baseball, by a wide margin." The A's left fielder, who will be 31 on Christmas Day, joined Oakland for the second time in the trade sending him to the Yankees for pitchers Greg Cadaret and Eric Plunk and outfielder Luis Polonia. Considered the best leadoff hitter ever, he game the A's more speed and power in the absence of the injured Jose Canseco and provided them with the most dangerous line- up in baseball. Henderson ranks fourth on the all-time stolen base list and is just 67 steals short of tying Lou Brock (938) for the record. Brock set the record in 18-plus seasons, Henderson has played 10.
