The Michigan Daily - Friday, October 2, 1992- Page 13 Basketball Digest .begins hoops hype Soccer aims to kick some Butler, Illinois by Adam Miller Daily Basketball Writer Even though men's basketball practice doesn't begin for another month, the hype has already started. In the first of what will probably be many preseason accolades, the Basketball Digest 1992-93 College Basketball Preview hit area news- stands Wednesday proclaiming Michigan the nation's No. I team. The cover features sophomore for- ward Chris Webber, a preseason all- American pick by the magazine, dunking over a Cincinnati defender in the Final Four. A banner headline Basketball Digest's picks for the Wolverines: ......Mchiga 0 3 > N r over the photo asks, "Is this Michigan's Year?" The answer is revealed two pages later with another headline pro- cflaiming this to be "The year of the Wolverine," and another photo of Webber, this time on the break at Notre Dame. The magazine assumes Webber, sophomore guard Jalen Rose, and senior center Eric Riley will all be playing, and makes no mention of their suspensions. Students interviewed generally expressed optimism about the pre- diction, but many stated concern about the status of Webber, Rose and Riley. "If everyone plays, we're No. 1," LSA freshman Adam Bosch said. "But if Webber, Rose and Riley are on probation, there's no way." Senior economics major Stacey Redmond concurred. "I think (the prediction) is pretty true, but it depends on what happens with the suspensions," she said. In the Big Ten preview article, the magazine says that "Anything less than a national title (for Michigan) will be a disappoint- ment." However, the writer also calls attention to Michigan's incon- sistency last year. LSA junior John McCaw re- mained similarly cautious and with- held any outright predictions. "If they all return, they have a shot," he said. "But this all depends on the suspensions." However, not all students stated concern over the trio's eligibility. "I'm not sure the suspensions will make a difference," Engineering junior Mike Caton said. "All three should end up playing." Bosch said he wasn't surprised by defending national champion Duke's No. 5 ranking. by Bob Abramson After salvaging a tie with Schoolcraft Wednesday, the Mich- igan men's soccer team (4-8-2) hopes to kick into high gear this weekend with tough competition ar- riving Saturday against Butler and Sunday versus Illinois. Although the Wolverines lost to Butler 2-0 earlier this season, coach Aaron Smith feels that his players have improved their offense since the last time the two teams clashed. "Over the last four games, we have been able to put more balls in the net," Smith said. "When we played Butler the last time, it seems like we didn't start to get into the game until the second half. If we score some goals early, we should do all right against them." The Fighting Illini pose another crucial obstacle for Michigan in its quest for the Big Ten club champi- onship. "The next challenge in the Big Ten is Illinois," junior Reza Sad- japour said. "Purdue seemed to be the team to beat, but we already beat them 2-0. If we beat Illinois, it will send a message to the other teams that Michigan is the team to beat in the Big Ten club tournament." This message is being sent with- out the presence of two of the Wolverines' top players. One of the major concerns of the soccer team heading into this week- end was the health of Brian Rosewarne (hamstring) and senior co-captain Kelly Kuehne (hip). Both, players missed the game against -Schoolcraft, but they should return for limited action this weekend. "They're going to play some, but not the full ninety minutes," Smith... said. "I want them healthy for the tournament." See SOCCER, Page 14 I FILE PHOTuO /Daily Jimmy takes it to the hole last year against Duke. Basketball Digest tabbed King and his teammates as preseason No.1 in the Big Ten and the nation. Linksters search for standout at Invitational g 4 4 4 t by Jaeson Rosenfeld All great teams have one. A Magic Johnson, a Larry Bird, or a Wayne Gretzky - a player who steps forward when the team needs it most and pats up big numbers. Michigan women's golf coach Sue LeClair is looking for one of her players to take a leading rule and shoot low scores in the late rounds. "We play pretty consistently between 78 and 82," said LeClair. "What we need is a player to shoot around 75 to keep us among the top teams." LeClair cited the performance of Michigan State senior Carolyn Nodus, who with a round of 74 single-handedly propelled the Spartans past , Michigan in the second-round of the Spartan Ihvitational. "They always seem to come in with a low score," said LeClair of the Spartans, a team she hopes the Wolverines will eventually beat in tournament play. While Michigan will not face Michigan State this weekend, it will play Big Ten foes Indiana, Iowa, Ohio State and Purdue in the 13-team Lady Buckeye Invitational. The tournament will feature 36 holes Saturday and 18 holes Sunday on the Ohio State Scarlet Course. Michigan should feel right at home on the 6,037 yard, par 72 track, which is considered one of the best in the Big Ten. "The course is very similar to our course as far as overall difficulty," LeClair said. "It has a lot of trees." Although this is the first time the Wolverines have played 36 holes in one day, LeClair said she does not see fatigue as a factor. "We have in the past usually shot better on the second 18," LeClair said. LeClair said the team's goal is to finish in the top five again, and she feels her golfers have ma- tured enough in the last two meets to make this a realistic goal. "I feel that they're getting (to) where their concentration is good enough for tournament play," LeClair said. Michigan will send seniors Wendy Bigler, Tricia Good and Maura Hawkins, junior Tegan McCorkel, sophomore Jenny Zimmerman and freshman Shannon McDonald to Ohio State. 310 S.
