Women's Basketball vs. Michigan State Tomorrow, 7:30 p.m. Crisler Arena SPORTS COED Gymnastics vs. Illinois Sunday, 2 p.m. Varsity Arena The Michigan Daily Thursday, January 25, 1990 Second half su Page 9 Lory Knapp F T time in Evanston EVANSTON - The scene: Welsh-Ryan Arena. Senior guard Rumeal Robinson has just picked up his fourth foul with 17 minutes left in the game. My thought: Michigan's dead. After all, the last place Northwestern Wildcats were not playing like a team that was 0-5 in the Big Ten. This game was supposed to be a cakewalk, a team- confidence builder needed after the disheartening 78-76 overtime loss to Iowa. But Wildcat guard Rex Walters, who is second in the league in scoring, was all over the floor hitting three pointers, grabbing boards and stealing passes en route to a team-high 24 points. "He's a good player. We knew he could play," Michigan coach Steve Fisher said. "He is one of the premier shooting guards in the Big Ten along with Kirk Manns." In addition to Walters' stellar play, sophomore Kevin Nixon, who was averaging just 6.3 points a game, would hit a career-high 18. Down three when Robinson went out, the outlook for a Wolverine victory was grim. But suddenly, there was light, a savior to lift the Wolverines out of their lackadaisical play - Terry Mills. Mills responded in the second half. He took it upon himself to give the team what it had been missing the entire first half: enthusiasm, effort and intensity. Mills leapt for boards and chased down loose balls along with leading See KNAPP, Page 10 rge topp Continued from page 1 with a Terry Mills tip-in at 16:39 in the first half. But the next three minutes saw the Wildcats narrow the score to 14-12. By the 8:52 mark, they took the lead with a Walker Lambiotte three-pointer. That trifecta, like other Wildcat scores, came after Northwestern beat Michigan to the ball. The Wildcats continued to scrap as the score see- sawed back and forth to the 3:07 mark, at which point Northwestern led, 30-29. The Wildcats then scored eight of the next 12 points to take a 38-33 lead at halftime. The snooze buzzer remained silent. In fact, in the last seconds of the half, the Wolverines were unable to get off a shot. Before the game, Northwestern coach Bill Foster was especially con- cerned with his team's rebounding. The Wildcats had been out-rebounded in Big Ten competition by 11 boards y a game. Last night, Michigan had only one more board than North- western at the half. "At halftime. coach Fisher em- phasized crashing the boards. He pointed out that we were being out- rebounded," forward Loy Vaught said. Though the Wolverines were I les NU anxious to answer the call and re- establish themselves in the second half, they received a large blow early as captain Rumeal Robinson picked up two quick fouls to open the half. Robinson left with four fouls at the 17-minute mark, with Michigan down by three, 42-39. "They saw as Rumeal goes, so goes our team. Tonight was a great confidence builder for our second string guards to come in and play in like they did," Vaught said. With Robinson sitting, junior guard Demetrius Calip and frosh Michael Talley led the Wolverines on a 12-4 run. When Robinson re- entered the game with 8:29 left, Michigan led 58-54. The reserve tandem were also able to feed Mills and Vaught the ball. Mills scored 18 points in the second half to finish with 26 for the game and Vaught tallied 16 second half points for a total of 23 for the game. Vaught also grabbed nine rebounds to finish with a game high 16. "You've got to give a lot of credit to Michigan," Foster said. "They challenged us, they intimidated us, that's part of their strength, too. I wish we had somebody like that. " MSU could pose threat a by Mike Gill Daily Basketball Writer Over the past few years, the Michigan-Michigan State show- downs have been somewhat one- sided. But now Michigan State coach Jud Heathcote has talent, a winning record, and a group of players coming off injury - not to mention a 5-1 mark in the Big Ten. Michigan, which won last year's contests 82-66 and 79-52, should be tested again on its home court of Crisler Arena. And who knows how much the aura, enthusiasm and emotion that surrounds the naming of George Per- les as the school's athletic director could add up to additional points on the scoreboard. I say at least ten points. Twenty, if he gives a pep talk to the troops before hand - you know, Sean Higgins, rebounding here against OSU, showcased his versatility last nght against Northwestern, scoring 23 points on 8 -14 shooting. the "work hard, play hard, keep your mouth shut and good things will come to you" type speech that a team can rally around.
