Wolverines pull out double-overtime thriller, 83-82

Conlan gives Wolverines spark as intensity returns

and went the length of the court for
the lay-up and the tie.
"Without Travis Conlan's effort
we would not have won tonight," se-
nior Jimmy King said. "We can't be
j and down like we've been. We
ve to sustain this."
Both teams were shaky to begin the
initial overtime session, the Wolver-
ines scoring their first basket with just
over two minutes remaining. Freshman
Willie Mitchell converted down low
off of a nice feed from Conlan to tie the
score at 75 and send the game into the
second extra session.
Michigan had opportunities to win
game in both regulation and over-
time but failed to get a good look at the
basket. The Wolverines neglected to
call a timeout because they did not want
to give Iowa an opportunity to set up
their trapping defense.
The final five minutes of the game
took on the same form as the rest of
the contest. Iowa scored first and had
the lead for most of the period. The
wkeyes held a one-point advan-
e and the ball with 57.9 seconds to
go, but the Wolverines forced a jump
ball and gained possession because of
the arrow.
With 11.5 seconds on the clock se-
nior Jimmy King hit Jackson with a
perfect pass as he cut to the basket,
giving Michigan its final one-point
margin of victory. Freshman Maceo
Baston rejected an Iowa shot with 2.2
fronds on the clock, but knocked the
ball out of bounds giving the Hawkeyes
one final chance.
Iowa's final shot was not even
close and the Wolverines, celebrated
the hard-fought victory.
"I felt like I was on top of the
world," Baston said. "I think that we are
coming together. We're ready to go to
Northwesternandcontinue improving."
Jackson had a tremendous game
o defense holding Iowa's Chris
Kingsbury to 7 points and only one 3-
pointer. Kingsbury was leading the
Big Ten in 3-pointers coming into last
night's contest.
The Wolverines began the game
in typical unemotional fashion. That
all changed after Michigan went on a
10-0 run following an official timeout
th 5:49 remaining in the first.
The Wolverines cut the Hawkeyes'
lead to 33-31. From thatpointon Michi-
gan was able to keep the game close,
setting up the exciting finish.

At Crisler Arena; A: 13,562,
r the first four minutes of
last night's victory over
Iowa, the Michigan basketball
team looked like the same squad
that played so brutally Sunday at
Penn State. In fact, it looked like
the same team the Wolverines have
put out on the
floor most of
this season.
Michigan got
outshot,
outhustled and
basically
outplayed and
found itself ANTOINE
trailing 15-6 at PEITTS
the first official P
timeout. Kenyon Stop
Murray's layup
off the tipoff and a 13-0 run had the
Hawkeyes sitting pretty.
The Wolverines lacked the same
ingredient they've been looking for
all season. It's been a year-long
search for coach Steve Fisher to
find some intensity out on the floor.
Many times this season Michigan
has looked more like it was
sleepwalking than playing a
basketball game.
Following the timeout, starting
point guard Dugan Fife sat down
and Travis Conlan entered the
game. What followed within the
next few minutes was a glimpse of
the kind of team play that Michigan
has needed.
On both ends of the floor the
Wolverines played like uncaged
animals. They scrapped and clawed
and fought their way back into the
game. Every time down the court,,
offensively and defensively, meant
something to Michigan. The team
turned up the intensity and set out
to catch the Hawkeyes.
"Every possession is key to the
game," senior forward Ray Jackson
said. "You have to play every
possession like it is the last play of
the game."
Conlan spearheaded the Michigan
attack on both ends of floor. On
offense, the freshman moved the ball,
setting up a number of Wolverine
baskets. He even got in the scoring
act with a driving, off-balance layup
- a play that many didn't think
existed in the Michigan point guard
playbook any more.
On the defensive end, Conlan
got in Iowa sharpshooter Chris
Kingsbury's shorts all night long,
never allowing him to get a good
look at the basket. Conlan kept the
game alive with several key
defensive plays at the end of
regulation and in overtime.
He played relentlessly, never
showing signs of fatigue and never
giving Fisher any reason to ever
take him out of the game.
A new-found enthusiasm filtered
throughout the entire team on the
court as well as into the exuberant
Crisler Arena crowd. Every player
out there stepped up to block a shot,
make a steal, or hit a tough shot to
keep the Wolverines going.
"The crowd did a great job
tonight," Conlan said. "They gave
me so much energy I thought I
could go another 20 minutes. The
atmosphere was incredible."
The Wolverines constantly dove
for loose balls, got in Iowa's face
on defense - high-fiving and fist-
pumping their way to tough victory
over a good Hawkeye squad.
"We found the intensity that we
need to bring to the table every
night," Jackson said. "Against Penn
State we played sluggishly with no
intensity."
Despite last night's victory,
Michigan is still a team desperate for
wins if it wants to make it back to the
NCAA Tournament. The slow start
has left the Wolverines in a big hole,
but digging out of that crater will be
easier if they have complete efforts
like they did against Iowa.
In the meantime, Fisher may
have found a viable weapon to use
from now on in his lineup. He's
been sitting a few feet away from
him all year long.

Last night, with Michigan down
15-12, Richardson's time finally ar-

The Wolverines have had good
luck with two other Michigan State
heavyweights in the past.
"We beat the others before,"
Michigan coach Dale Bahr said after
the victory. "Richardson now makes
it three."
