His wife Amy gave birth to a 7-pound, 9 1/2-ounce baby girl. Nicolette Suzanne was born at 4:25 a.m. but Fiodorov, a native of St. Petersburg, Russia, was at practice in the afternoon to hand out cigars to his teammates. SCORING LEADERS: Senior Mark Ouimet, following his five- point outburst against Notre Dame Saturday, leads the team in scoring (eight goals-26 assists-34 points). "Ouimet's played well all season, so it's nice to see the puck going in for him," Michigan coach Red Berenson said. "He has really worked hard all year. It's nice to see things paying off for him." Ouimet's linemate, Dave Roberts, is tied for second (10-20-30) in scoring with junior Dave Oliver (21-9-30). Oliver's linemates, Cam Stewart (10-15-25) and injured center Brian Wiseman (5-20-25), round out the top five. 'D' TAKES CHARGE: The Wolverines have outscored their opponents 116 to 60 in 24 games and have allowed just two goals in their last three games. Michigan has also outshot its opponents 816 to 614. Goaltender Steve Shields had a scoreless streak of 119 minutes snapped when Garry Gruber dented the twine for Notre Dam'e at 7:41 of the second period. Michigan is 9-1-1 in its last 11 contests. #.,,*.:..ROBERTS ROBS RECORD: Senior left wing Roberts passed for- mer Wolverine Brad Jones on the all-time Michigan assist list. He now has 139 helpers to Jones' 138. Roberts became the all-time leader when he assisted on Dan Stiver's ..12th goal of the season, putting Michigan up, 5-0, 1:38 into the sec- ond period Saturday. Roberts has also scored 18 i points in his last 11 games and is fifth on the all-time scoring list 2f with 212 points, just one behind Gordon McMillan, a Wolverine from 1946 to 1949. KILL 'EM ALL: The Michigan F iodorov penalty killers have put together quite a streak over the last four tilts. After holding Notre Dame scoreless on five power-play opportunities, the Wolverines have successfully killed off the last 22 mansadvantage situations against them.

Buckeyes just aren't the way they once were by Adam Miller Daily Basketball Writer At the beginning of the Michi- gan-Minnesota men's basketball telecast on Raycom last Wednesday, an "inauguration night" montage invited President Clinton to "pull up a chair" and watch the game. Of course, that was sheer folly. The only sports fans who willingly watch Raycom are those who are truly devoted to the teams being shown, and not only was the Uni- versity of Arkansas not competing, but McDonald's wasn't even a spon- sor of the telecast. Nevertheless, there's a way to get the President interested in Michigan despite these deficiencies: invoke the name of Barbara Streisand. Let us remember "the way we were." Make that the way the Wol- verines were. Specifically, as everyone pre- pares for tonight's 7:30 p.m. game between the Wolverines (4-1 Big Ten, 15-2 overall) and Buckeyes (2- 3, 9-5) at Crisler Arena, let us recall the teams' three encounters last season. Last Feb. 2, the Buckeyes dominated Michigan at Crisler, 68- 58, as the Wolverines scored only 13 points in the first half. Junior forward Jimmy Jackson led Ohio State with 22 points and nine rebounds. March 3, 1992, saw Michigan roar to a giant lead in Columbus, only to lose control of the game in a two-minute stretch of the second half that saw Buckeye sophomore Lawrence Funderburke explode for six of his nine points. Ohio State 77, Michigan 66. But the final memory we'll see is a smile Michigan left behind - the NCAA quarterfinals at Lexington, Ky. Led by Chris Webber's 23 points, the Wolverines defeated the Buckeyes, 75-71, in overtime. Ahi ... the way we were, or at least, the way the Wolverines were. Now, let us send Bill back to Washington and Barbara back to, well, wherever she came from. Because, especially on the Ohio State end, we aren't that way anymore.

Y :... : Pr i, lnep Gone from the Buckeye roster is all-American Jackson, who passed his senior season for the NBA draft. Gone too is forward Chris Jent, whose outside jumpers, had they fallen, would have sent Ohio State to the Final Four. The Buckeyes lost five players to graduation - plus Jackson - and now are dominated by youth, with six freshmen and three sophomores. "We're a completely different ballclub," Ohio State coach Randy Ayers said. "We've got a lot of new players in our program. What we're trying to do now is find the right blend of veterans and newcomers. We're still looking to find the right combination." Ayers said that Ohio State will shake up its starting lineup tonight. Rookie guard Greg Simpson, Mr. Basketball in Ohio for both his junior and senior seasons, and sophomore center Antonio Watson, will get the start, while sophomore Rickey Dudley will shift from the center spot to the forward position. Ohio State does feature some ex- perienced returnees, most notably junior Funderburke. Averaging 17.6 points and 6.6 rebounds per game, Funderburke keys the Buckeyes on both ends of the court. On his weekly television show, Michigan coach Steve Fisher com- pared Funderburke to Webber. "Without question (there are similarities)," Fisher said. "He's a quick jumper, a lot like Chris, got great hands and he's explosive in- side." With Funderburke, guard Alex Davis provides Ohio State's back- bone of experience. The senior averages 9.5 points and 3.1 assists per game. Davis' assists appear deceptively low, as the Buckeyes sport five players with more than 20 assists; Davis leads with 40. However, the main feature of these Buckeyes is youth, and youth brings inconsistency. Ohio State, who earlier this season upended Iowa, 92-81, brings a three-game losing streak into tonight's ESPN- televised affair. "If you don't have experience in your lineup, or coming off the bench, it's gonna play a factor be- cause you're still trying to develop team chemistry," Ohio State assis- tant Dave Cerutti said. On the other hand, Michigan is on a roll. With Ray Jackson's return from a shoulder separation and Michael Talley's recovery from the flu, the Wolverines, who have won three straight, bring a healthy lineup into tonight's contest.
