"You can only play five on the

try to sub as much as we possibly can
and if the kids can stay out of foul
trouble, I think they can play enough

they won't get very, very tired."
Other than general conditioning,
Michigan's practices have had a strong
emphasis on the times when they don't

is the main key."
Despite the rough edges surround-
ing Michigan, the Bulldogs are not
underestimating the Wolverines' po-
tential.
"I'm sure they're going to be very
well coached and prepared to play us,"
Olkowski said.
After a week of finals, Michigan
will host Marquette Saturday, Dec. 18.
The Warriors' head coach, Jim Jabir,
is looking forward to the debut of the
series against the Wolverines, but ad-
mits limited knowledge of the Michi-
gan team.
"We haven't even looked at tape
in the season, Marquette is still getting
everything in place itself.
"Right now we're just trying to
work a rotation and develop our rota-
tion and get some people experience
and we're still kind of feeling ourselves
out," Jabir said.
Monday, Dec. 20, the Wolverines
will host Illinois-Chicago. The Flames
have three starters returning from last

"I have absolutely no predictions
about any of the games and about the
outcome of any of these games," Rob-
erts said. "Right now we just want to
take one game at a time and improve
upon our mistakes and hope, that by the
Big Tenseason, we'llbeready toplay."
