The Wolverines' shot clock, by contrast, sees the bot- tom side of 30 about as often as they wear the yellow jerseys. Michigan's defense slowed the Falcons' offense as well. "Michigan doesn't play a real pressure defense" Falcon coach Jim Larranaga said. "They protect the basket with all that size and make you shoot it. Then if you miss they gobble up the rebound." In the second half, when Bowling Green began forcing shots, the Wolverines really took over the glass. Six Wolverines had at least four rebounds; Jimmy King led with seven. The Wolverine firepower sur- faced despite playing three games in five nights. "There was fatigue playing our third game like this, plus practices," center Juwan Howard said. "Plus we have a lot of guys staying up 'til 2 and 3 a.m. studying for finals." Chris Webber paced Michigan with 21 points, and Howard, King and Jalen Rose all scored in double figures. Gymnasts get ready Women tune up for title defense tomorrow by Tom Bausano Daily Sports Writer Cliff Keen Arena will once again be ignited by the fiery power and grace of the Michigan women's gymnastics team as it opens its sea- son tomorrow night at 6 p.m. in the Coed Mixed Pairs Intrasquad. Tomorrow night's competition will have a brand new format. The men and women will combine to form six teams of four gymnasts. The gymnasts will compete in the event of their choice, and three scoreswillscount toward the team's total results. After the first round, two teams will be eliminated and the process will be repeated until the final rota- tion, when two teams will compete head-to-head. Only one gymnast will compete at a time, allowing the au- dience to focus on each athlete's individual performance. The meet has been designed to not only entertain but educate the audience. Throughout the competi- tion, explanations of the varying ex- ercises and ro.oines will be given. Before many of the events, athletes will give interviews, introducing themselves to those in attendance. Other attractions include a dismount contest and tag-team floor exercise. "We're just planning on having a good time with this meet, and just do the best that we can," Beth Wymer said. "It's a meet to relax." This may be the only meet all year they can relax if they hope to repeat as Big Ten Champions and Men to show o by Scott Burton Daily Sports Writer All of the new faces on the Michigan's men's gymnastics team, and many of the members of last year's nationally ranked squad, will be showing off their moves tonight at 6 p.m. in a intrasquad meet at Cliff Keen Arena. And although the Wolverines will be doing a pared- down exhibition, they look forward to the event as an exciting showcase of this year's talent. "Both coaches are trying to show earn a bid to the national tournament. that eluded the team last year. "Last year's success was due to staying together and focused as a. team," Ali Winski said. "We don't worry about what tricks other team$ are throwing or how other teams are scoring. We just worry about the job we have to get done and helping each other out. That is what is going td carry on to this year and make ul1 even more successful." )ff old, new off their new freshmen - that's baj sically what this is all about, trying to get a competition atmosphere ii front of a crowd," returning gymnast* Ben Verrall said. "But they're going to try to keep it fun." Along with the freshmen, tbi meet will feature three former na- tional qualifiers - Verrall, Jorge Camacho, and all-American Brian Winkler. Another former national, qualifier on the Wolverines, Royce Toni, is still recovering from arn injured back and will sit out the competition tonight. "Friday is just going to be a real good meet for the men, being that we are going to test the guys in front of a judge and in front of an audi- ence, and will add a little more pres- sure to what they already put on themselves," Michigan coach Bob Dardin said. "Our emphasis Friday night is going to be basically on composure and consistency and the technical' execution of what we do," he added.
