"Obviously, weare disappointed to not be moving on," Michigan coach Bud VanDeWege said. "But at the same time, what I liked was the fight we had. There were two or three times in this game where they ere threatening to really pull it out of shape, and our team really dug down each and everyone of those times to get back in it. "I'm very proud of that. It showed the kind of fight, deter- mination and competitiveness that we've played with all year." The Wolfpack jumped out to an early five point lead after guard Nicole Lehmann hit the first of her five three-pointers for the afternoon. "It's fortunate for me that we had a week of practice," Lehmann said. "But also, the conditions of the gym were real hot. When it's hot, you get really loose. The ball definitely felt good in my hands today." Lehmann also was responsible for pushing the ball up the floor. The Wolfpack controlled the tempo" most of the game forcing Michigan to run the floor more than usual. Z . The pace, combined with the above average temperature in Reynolds Coliseum seemed to wear out the Wolverines. First-year center Trish Andrew,y who was often often open on the- wing, was a victim of the running game as evidenced by her bobblingy many long-court passes. "It was very frustrating," Andrew said. "I was trying to get back on OSE JUARE defense to stop them, and then when Senior center Joan Rieger goes up for a shot against North Carolina it was time to run down for our State in her last game at Michigan, a 81-64 loss.

By Taylor Lincoln Daily Basketball Writer LONG BEACH - The Loyola- Marymount Lions put their game into overdrive to gain an advantage on Michigan in yesterday's NCAA second round matchup. They went beyond overdrive for a ten-minute stretch in the second half to run the defending champions off the floor - literally. Marcellus Lee, a little used forward, made a baseline three pointer as he fell out of bounds onto his own bench with five seconds remaining, topping a 149-115 Marymount victory. His shot was just another in a day long exhibition for the Lions, who shattered the NCAA tournament scoring record by 22 points. "We instructed our guys to play like 'all bombs away,"' Marymount coach Paul Westhead said. Senior guard Jeff Fryer led the bombers with 41 points including 11-15 three point shooting, followed closely by Bo Kimble's 37. Michigan trailed by seven at the half and kept the margin within single digits for the first seven minutes of the second half. The floodgates opened with just over 13 minutes remaining, when Westhead gambled by returning Fryer and Per Stumer to the game, even though each had four fouls. In the ensuing 70 seconds th. Lions' Terrell Lowery drove for a layup, Fryer hit a very long three- pointer, and Kimble was fouled as he dunked. He made the foul shot left- handed in dedication to Hank Gathers before Stumer capped the 11-0 run with another three- pointer. During the stretch, Marymount expanded its lead from three to 19 points. "We had a spurt when we got down and hurried some shots ourselves, and that got us hopelessly behind," Michigan coach Steve Fisher said. Forward Loy Vaught had his second consecutive excellent tourna- ment performance, scoring 19 points with 17 rebounds. "To be truthful, we've never run across a team that moves the ball like that," Vaught said. "They have See LMU, Page 4 Taylor Lincoln LONG BEACH- On the other side of the curtain to my left is CBS announcer Greg Gumbel. His voice sounds just as it does on television. Behind me is the Free Press' Mitch Albom. His face looks just like it will in eight million newspapers tomorrow. These are people who seem to transcend the normal boundaries of life - they are known by millions more people than they themselves will ever know. Paul Westhead, coach of the high-flying Loyola Marymount Lions, is sitting 10 feet in front of me. His team has just defeated New Mexico State, 111-92, to advance to the next round of the NCAA basketball tournament. I have known him by means of television and Sports Illustrated since I was in 5th grade, when he coached another Los Angeles team, the Lakers. Westhead looks like he is made for television. His skin is sun-burned and weather-worn. His grayish, blue eyes appear jaded. His hair is brushed straight back and held in place by some sort of gel. It looks bristled, like it would lance your palms if you were to rub your hands against it the wrong way. A reporter asks him about his decision to leave Bo Kimble in the ballgame after Kimble, sitting to his right, picked up his fourth foul in the first half. Kimble went on to play the whole game, scoring 45 points in leading his team to victory. "That's my style," Westhead says, laughing. "As you know I've been fired from a few places." Then a reporter asks Kimble, "The obvious question: what were your emotions like?" The reporter does not Of tragedy and tournament life say what is obvious about the question, he doesn't need to. The press room becomes quiet. He is referring to Hank Gathers, a Marymount player who died on the court a week and a half earlier during a conference tournament game. "Before the game we just said 'Hank' on three," Kimble says. During the game we didn't say anything, we just stayed focused. Gathers had been such a miserable foul shooter that he had switched to shooting foul shots left-handed. Doing so, he raised his proficiency from poor to mediocre. With about 10 minutes left in the game against New Mexico State, Kimble was fouled in the act of shooting. He then went to the line and shot left- handed. It went in. "Were you thinking about Hank when you shot the ball?" another reporter asks. "What about during the timeout?" "What did you feel as you released it?" "Would you have done the same thing if the game had been tied with 10 seconds left?" The questions keep coming, ceaselessly. Kimble politely answers them. He looks like a grade-school student anxiously awaiting dismissal from class. But he can't leave even if he wants to - at least not according to NCAA bylaws. Westhead sits calmly, with sweat from the TV lights beading on his face. At one point, he tilts his head all the way back and pours Coca-Cola into his mouth. See LINCOLN, Page 4 Loyola-Marymount guard Bo Kimble drives around Michigan's Sean Higgins in yesterday's second round game. Kimble scored 37 and teammate Jeff Fryer tallied 41, including eleven three-pointers, to lead the Lions to a 149- 115 thrashing of the Wolverines. Hard To Kill SWIMMERS FARE WELL IN NATIONALS Women finish seventh Michigan's Larry Gotcher wins because he simply refuses to lose by Jeff Sheran Daily Sports Writer hanging above Larry Gotcher's ed are his two NCAA all-Am- ican plaques, each bearing a photo of the standout Michigan wrestler. You might suspect that the two photos, taken a year apart, are actually the same. That's because in each picture, Gotcher has a look of intensity unique to himself: cold and calcu- lating, as if he were sizing up his next opponent, situated somewhere hind the camera. Gotcher placed fourth at last his failure to repeat as conference champ, Gotcher remains undaunted as the nationals approach. "I can obviously win the tourna- ment," he said. "If I had wrestled well the last two years, I'd have al- ready won it." To someone unacquainted with Gotcher, such statements might seem cheap or cocky. But those who know him know that he doesn't just talk trash. He believes what he says, and more often than not, he lives up to it. Gotcher is not a gifted technician on the mat. His status in by Steven Cohen Daily Sports Editor At the NCAA swimming championships in Austin, Texas, the Michigan women's swim team finished in the top 10 in the nation for the fourth consecutive season to establish a standard for Northern universities. The Wolverines' 163 points earned them top honors among Northern schools, with Northwestern the next highest cold- weather finisher in tenth place with 100 points. Host University of Texas, with 632 points, edged Stanford, which finished with 622.5 points. Florida (477), California (263), UCLA (224), and USC (182.5) rounded out the top six. SMU (122) finished behind said. "In the last four years they have helped us accomplish what no other Northern school has done which is to finish in the top 10 in the NCAA's for four straight years. In all, seven Wolverines earned All-American honors, setting three Michigan and two Big Ten records in the process. 200-yard breaststroker Ann Colloton was on her way to repeat as NCAA champion until she swallowed some water and faltered to third place. Michigan's 400-yard medley team of Stefanie Liebner, Jennifer Eck, Mindy Gehrs and Kathy Diebler earned All-American accolades with their seventh-place finish of 3:45:47. In the preliminaries, the quartet set a Wolverine record of 3:43:94. The 800-yard freestyle team of Michelle Swix, Gwen Demaat, Gehrs, and Diebler came home with sixth-place honors with their time of 7:21:18. Richardson was particularly disappointed for Colloton, who had set a Big Ten record in the preliminaries of 2:12:56 but slipped to third in the finals at 2:13:27. "It was a shame that Ann swallowed some water because she was on an American-record setting pace in the 200," Richardson said. "I really believe she is the best 200- yard breaststroker in the country. Richardson also had mixed emotions regarding the departure of his seniors, which include Colloton, DeMaat, Eck, and Liebner.
