"It was like a big thing and I liked the, attention that I got." When she wasn't playing in the jazz or all-city band, Brown was on the court playing basketball in any pick- up game she could find. At the time, Brown didn't worry about technique; she just played. Besides, in high school, all she needed to know was how to put the ball in the bucket. "I played at the top of the free throw line with my back to the basket, and they would just throw it to me and I would just shoot," Brown said. The system was simple enough for her to win Colorado's Miss Basketball honors. Basketball at Michigan wasn't so simple. "It was a whole new level of play that I didn't even' know existed," Brown said. "What you did in high school, becomes what everybody does in college. You just have to learn how to get the edge over everybody - else. They challenge you physically more than I ever thought I could go. I feel like I'm on the track team. It's amazing how much we run."

"She's funny, just a joke." Although Brown's leadership qualities haIe improved, her inconsistency hasn't. With only seven games left, chances are Brown will be unable to cure her consistency problems. But that's part of the excitemeilt. One never knows when she is going to score 26 points with three three-pointers, as she did against Eastern Michigan. And if she doesn't? There's always the drums. .._ a ._ _ .. c l. , "UJLAL YY aluf. +aN /'.IV1aJ 6V W..- ++. 1la+V - -W"- M - "', 3 BASKETBALL NOTBOOK This time, turnovers good to Wolverines bj Phil Green Daily Basketball Writer, The Wolverines again proved the. deadliness of turnovers in Friday's, 72-59, victory over Indiana. Last month in Bloomington, Michigan committed 21 turnovers while causing only 12 in a 61-59 Hoosier victory. This weekend, the Wolver- ines tripped the Hoosiers up with 20 turnovers, committing only 14 of their own. DECK THE HALLS: Val Halll put in a career high 20 points and 14; rebounds against the Hoosiers, and 10 rebounds against Ohio State yesterday, as she continued her recent tear that began three weeks ago. Ten of her boards Friday came off the offensive glass, contributing greatly to the Wolverines' rebounding do-; minance. Michigan came away withI a 46-38 edge overall, including 26-1 15 on the offensive end.j G ET B A C K: Center Trish; Andrew continued her dominance in the paint, rejecting three shots in each game and increasing her con- ference leading total. IT'S ABOUT TIME: With their 58-55 triumph over the Buck- eyes yesterday, the Wolverines gave coach Bud VanDeWege his first win over Ohio State and the team's first since 1981. The victory raised Mich- igan's record against OSU to 2-19. AND THE WINNER IS...: At halftime of Sunday's game, 24 of Michigan's women student-athletes were recognized for outstanding achievement including All-Amer- ican swimmers Ann Colloton and Gwen DeMaat, runner Mindy Rowand, and softball player Jennifer Allard. osU Continued from page 1 winner. She's been there before, she knows how to win, and she's a great, great competitor. To me, that was everything I was hoping Carol Szczechowski would be when I recruited her." With 1:57- to play, Michigan forward Joan Rieger fouled out, allowing Buckeye forward Nicole Sanchez to tie the game, 53-53, with two free throws. Following a turnover, Michigan center Val Hall joined Rieger on the bench, fouling Sanchez with 1:34 left. Sanchez, however, missed the front end of the one-and-one. "I felt like that was finally the little bit of luck we needed," VanDe- Wege said. "We finally got a break." Co-captain Tanya Powell, whose free throw at 1:17 gave Michigan a 54-53 lead, added 13 points in the victory. Friday night the Wolverines couldn't have followed VanDe- Wege's playbook more precisely as they beat up on Indiana (9-11, 3-7). "The main thing was we were executing our game plan," Hall said. Hall destroyed the Hoosier defense for a career-high 20 points and a game-high 14 rebounds. Michigan exploited its size advantage over Indiana early by running plays right at the basket for a 36-25 halftime lead. Indiana was helpless on the boards in the first half as the Wol- verines outrebounded the Hoosiers, 29-12. "We're just not doing a good job of inside board play," Indiana coach Jim Izard said. "At some particular time these kids are going to rise to the occasion and box somebody out." To open the second half, Indiana packed their defense inside, but forward Leslie Spicer nailed shot after shot from the corner to put the Wolverines up by 20 with 10:48 left in the game. Another big factor in the victory was Trish Andrew's three blocked shots for Michigan. p( WHAT'S HAPPENING RECREATIONAL SPORTS OUTDOOR RECREATION PROGRAM SPRING BREAK BACKPACKING TRIP TO CUMBERLAND ISLAND MARCH 3 THRU MARCH 10, 1990 COST: $240.00(INCLUDES FOOD(except on the road), TRANSPORTATION , LEADERSHIP, INSTRUCTION, AND EQUIPMENT PRE-TRIP MEETING: TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1990 7:00PM NORTH CAMPUS REC.
