That trend continued Sunday, as the 11th-ranked Hoosiers (3-0 Big Ten, 10-2 overall) nearly doubled up the Wolverines from the line. Indiana scored 36 points from the free-throw line - including 23 in the second half - to upend the Wolver- ines, 82-72, and extend its Assembly Hall winning streak to 37. Michigan (3-1, 11-3) was just 10 for 19 from the charity stripe. "We had to stop them from getting to the free-throw line," Jalen Rose said. "I think free throws were the difference." Indeed, in the last six minutes of play, the Hoosiers connected on 14 of 16 shots from the line, accounting for all but two of their points down the stretch. Alan Henderson collected 13 of his game-high 19 points from the line, outscoring the entire Michigan team from the stripe. In addition, the Wolverines missed the front ends of a pair of one-and-one opportunities during that six-minute stretch, and concluded the game miss- ing five in all. Rose, a 75 percent free- throw shooter heading into the game, missed two of those front ends, and wound up sinking just three of his six attempts from the line. "We missed three one-and-ones in the first half," coach Steve Fisher said. "You can't do that against a team like Indiana at home." Still, down 15 with just 4:12 to play, Michigan posed a sizable come- back to make a game of it. Following a Ray Jackson jumper in the lane that narrowed the lead to 72-59, Rose, Jimmy King and Bobby Crawford each nailed three-pointers to cut the lead to just seven, 75-68, with 1:28 remaining. Two free throws from Jackson at the 1:02 mark cut the lead to five. However, with 41 seconds left, while setting for another three that would have brought the Wolverines to within two, Crawford stepped out of bounds, effectively ending the game. Michigan was forced to foul, and then Rose was whistled for a techni- cal with just eight ticks left on the clock. "He was begging for a technical foul," Fisher said of Rose, who had two points in the first half and ended up with a team-high 16 on 6-for-21 shoot- ing. "It was almost like he was intent to make it happen. I think he got frus- trated as the game wore on." That frustration was evident in all the Wolverines throughout the sec- ond half. After Henderson gave the Hoo- siers their first lead of the game with a follow of his own miss at the 16:22 mark of the second stanza, the Wol- verines began to unravel. Michigan lost its patience offen- sively and resorted to launching hur- ried jumpers, usually from three-point range. The Wolverines missed their first nine threes of the second half and finished shooting a dismal 18 percent from behind the arc. "Frustration caused us to take some ill-advised shots," Fisher said. "We needed to do a better job getting the ball inside to Juwan (Howard). We took the first shot that presented it, self." "We should've got more players involved," said Howard, who had 12 points and nine rebounds. And that's exactly what they did at the start of the game. Michigan exploded to a 6-0 lead thanks to three steals, including a See IU, Page 6 EVAN PETRIE/Daily Jalen Rose sits dejectedly on the bench after receiving a technical foul late in the second half of Michigan's loss to Indiana. Rose made only six of his 21 field-goal attempts on the day for a team-high 16 points. .Stanford turns Blue waters red By CHARLIE BREITROSE DAILY SPORTS WRITER The clash between the No. 1 and No. 3 men's swimming teams in the nation lived up to the hype. Both the Michigan and Stanford swim- mers put up their best unshaved, untapered times, and two Canham Natatorium records were broken. The Cardinal pulled out the meet, 133.5- 109.5, Saturday afternoon largely because. of their sweeps of the 400-yard medley re- lay, 400-yard freestyle relay and the 200- yard breaststroke. The breaststroke put Stanford into the lead, essentially clinching the victory. Jun- ior Kurt Grote led the Cardinal's sweep of the top three places in the event. "Michigan was giving us a real run. So it was exciting for us to make a difference," Grote said. Michigan had hoped to have better per- formances in the relays. "We wanted to split the relay in the beginning. It would have made it easier. We gambled, and we lost," Michigan coach Jon Urbanchek said of the 400 medley relay. In the 400 medley relay, Stanford's Brian Retterer got off to a good start with a time of :47.66 on the backstroke. The time broke the pool record that Retterer set Friday evening and qualified him for the NCAA champion- ships. Michigan's 'A' relay team could never make up the difference. Throughout the middle of the meet, the Wolverinesslowly closed the gap and jumped into the lead prior to the 200 breaststroke with a sweep of the 500 free. Freshmen Tom Dolan, Chris Rumley and John Michael Piersma led the Michigan charge. "Probably the best (event) was the 500 free," Urbanchek said. "To sweep the one- two-three with the freshmen, that's great. That gives the boys a lot of good confi- dence." Dolan's victory in the 500 ended a suc- cessful day in which he won two events. Earlier in the day, he won the 1000 freestyle in a Canham record time of 9:09.56. "I just wanted to make sure we went one- two," Dolan said. "Once I got ahead, about halfway through, I felt good so then I started pushing it more." Dolan credited the atmosphere at Saturday's dual meet in aiding his efforts. "I was expecting it to be a big deal but I never thought it would be like this with all the people and the band," he said. "It helped to get me pumped up, especially with the band and everyone going crazy." In addition to Dolan's performance, the Wolverines had another double-event win- ner, Gustavo Borges. In a battle of 1992 Olympians, Borges outtouched Stanford's Joe Hudepohl by .24 seconds in the 100 freestyle. "I wish Borges had shorter arms," Stanford coach Skip Kenney said. "He's amazing." For Urbancek, Borges' performance was typical and exactly what he expected from See SWIMMING, Page 5 4 .::.. 's .g }!:';: : .. '.' . . ".

Do the Wolverines know the mean- ing of this word? Don't those four-point efforts by David Oliver get old after a while? Don't those Mike Knuble power-play goals grow tiresome? Isn't anyone sick of seeing Steve Shields stop shot after shot? Apparently not. Michigan used these seemingly hackneyed weapons again to polish off Notre Dame, 6-1, before a crowd of 3,368 at the Joyce Fieldhouse Sat- urday. As usual, the special teams per- formed impressively - the power play going two for five and the pen- alty killing unit stopping all seven Irish man-advantage chances - in the same-old, same-old triumph. With the victory, the Wolverines (16-0-1 CCHA, 21-1-1 overall) ran their winning streak against the Irish (6-10-2, 8-14-2) to 15 games, sending 1-0 lead after the first stanza on a Jason Botterill power-play goal, his 14th marker of the season. "We've got to start playing well right off the bat," Michigan center Brian Wiseman said. "That's one part of the game we really need to improve on. In the first period we coughed up the puck in our zone too much." On this night, though, memories of the subpar first period quickly melted away for the Wolverines. They took a 2-0 lead when Oliver scorched a slapshot from just inside the Michigan blue line, getting it past Notre Dame goaltender Wade Salzman low on the glove side. And then the floodgates opened, as four consecutive goals by Michi- gan poured into the Irish net. The Wolverines' second-period lead en- abled them to take Notre Dame out of its game plan of tight checking. "I think they checked well up to a point," Berenson said. "It's hard to get back in the game when you're trying to check, though. You've got By BRETT JOHNSON DAILY SPORTS WRITER it's never an easy task for a freshman to replace a departing senior, especially when that graduate is the 1992 Olympic silver medalist in the 400-meter individual medley, Eric Namesnik. And in those situations, comparisons will be. inevitable, be they fair or unfair. This is the scenario for Michigan men's swimmer Tom Dolan. Dolan comes to Michigan as one of the world's best in the 400 IM. Last summer, he placed second in the 400-meter IM at the 1993 Pan Pacific Championships. At the U.S. Senior Nationals, he also finished second, behind Namesnik, in the same event. So, if any one can fill Namesnik's Speedo, it is the freshman out of Yorktown High School in Arlington, Va. Despite these impressive credentials, Dolan is still only four months into his freshman year of college and not ready to fully replace Tom Dolan is prepared for the challenge of replacing a legend Dolan has the potential to become a superstar in the swimming world. After all, he is already ranked in the top 10 in the world for the 400 IM. But he wants more than just being in the top 10. He wants to be on top, and this was one of the main reasons he chose Michigan, where Urbanchek has produced top IMers on both the NCAA and international level. "One reason I came to Michigan was because of Jon," Dolan said. "In my opinion, he is one of the best coaches in the nation. I knew I would be able to train with 'Snik, which is really the best situation I can have anywhere in the world. Being able to look up to'him and to see what he's done and how he acts really helps a lot." Namesnik also sees the advantages of training with Dolan and the Wolverines' other top IMer, junior Marcel Wouda. "It's a great atmosphere to train in, because you have the three best ...;. a
