The Michigan Daily - Thursday, January 25, 1995 - 9A with a pair of 8-6 wins by Prentice and Swan and Raiton and Farah. °After the weekend event, Michigan teXt competes at the eighth annual Q'Charleys Invitational at Tennessee Feb. 24, and moves on to the National Indoor singles and Doubles Championships in Iallas to face the nation's best Feb. 8-11. Competition this weekend begins at 8 Om. Saturday and continues all day. TRACK Continued from Page 8A door and outdoor competition. That year, Michigan finished a disappoint- ing seventh in the Big Ten, and Henry, three-time conference Coach of the Year, is clearly not used to losing. "We're fighting for respect," Henry tid. "We have to train like we're the worst team in the Big Ten. If we don't change our work ethic, we'll continue to fall." McINTOSH Continued from Page 8A visitor-friendly. The Hoosier fans stuff ~smammoth confines .- 17,169 owed up Tuesday -and nearly all of them wear red. The Wolverines' dark blue uniforms were striking, standing out as they did against the sea of crim- son - about the only things there not painted red. The fans are raucous - and that's reflected in the Hoosiers' home court dominance. There was no way they were going to let Michigan beat them o years in a row at their place. W There are few college teams that could have beaten Indiana Tuesday Might. Certainly no team in the Big Ten could. The Hoosiers shot 74.1 percent in the second half. When three of every four shots a team takes go in, that team should not lose. Blame the Wolverines for leaving guard Neil Reed open a little too much but whd thought he would shoot 8- 1I from behind the arc? Besides, 'mhigan couldn't exactly cover Reed at the expense of leaving 6-foot-8 for- ward Brian Evans open. Evans' game was his best as a Hoosier, according to Knight; the sharp-shooting seniornailed three of his four 3-point attempts, he grabbed eight rebounds, he dished 11 assists, and hit tough, guarded shots inside and out. And the Todd Lindeman who showed Tuesday was not the one who was *sr oyed by Michigan State's not-so- vaunted frontline. With Baston and Taylor in early foul trouble, Lindeman played what Michigan coach Steve Fisher termed a "career game;" he was, rankly, a different, tougher player. 'It was more them playing well than us not playing well," Fisher said, and he wis right: Indiana just got up on the nigt side of the bed for the first time season. Louis Bullock is already a force in I3e Big Ten. Seven threes in 11 at- tempts? The Indiana fans - some of the most knowledgable in the country couldn't figure out why he wasn't scoring 27 points every game. Bullock aid he looked for shots more aggres- jvely Tuesday, but 64 percent from the apoint arc -while a rate unreachable fera whole season-is not out ofreach inany one game for the freshman, who tmade nearly half his bombs this on" Buf tllock is among the Big Ten's two ottee most dangerous 3-point threats T with him firing outside, the Wolver- ines will usually get more out of their big men than they did Tuesday. So the Indiana game was an anomaly, a freak amazing game from Knight's squad. It's no reason for the Wolverines to panic, despite their two conference ses. The Big Ten champion will al- most surely have three or more losses. Lose Sunday at Iowa, however, and the Wolverines can start panicking. - Brent McIntosh can be reached over e-mail at mctosh@umich.edu. Wolverines take on state's best in Michigan Intercollegiate By Mark Snyder Daily Sports Writer It is certain a team from the Wolverine statewill winthisweekend'smen's Michi- gan Intercollegiate track meet - it just may not be the Wolverines. Saturday, Michigan will be hosting all of the Division I schools in the state for the meet. Competing will be Michigan, Michigan State, Eastern Michigan, Cen- tral Michigan, Western Michigan and the University of Detroit. The competition will be a step up from what the Wolverines faced last weekend at the Red Simmons Invitational - but they are still expected to come away with a strong showing. "Eastern has a pretty decent team," coach Jack Harvey said. "And Michigan State has an improved (squad)." Last year, at the same meet, Michigan was victorious with Eastern Michigan coming in second. "Based upon what I've seen this year, the rankings will be very similar," Harvey added. This season's team has a number of newcomers looking to contribute, John Mortimer, a freshman, will run the 3,000- meter race. Last week at the Simmons, Mortimer ran on the victorious distance medley relay. Another piece added to the Wolverine puzzle will be transfer Brian Thiesen. Thiesen made his presence felt almost immediately as he finished second in the 55-meterhurdlesatthe Simmons. Ateam player, he is looking forward to the inter- state meet. "(Thiesen's) got two years of eligibil- ity left, and he's running really well for us," Harvey said. Freshman Todd Snyder will pitch in by running the 5,000-meter event Saturday, but the coach's focus remains on those with experience. "Most of the impact is going to come from the upperclassmen," he said. "I think it will be a while before we see something spectacular (from the freshmen.)" All-everything Kevin Sullivan will re- turn this weekend to run the mile afteria week off. High jumper Jon Royce will look to improve hisjump of 7-foot-2, which quali- fied on a preliminary basis forthe NCAA Indoor Championships. To become an automatic qualifier, Royce will attempt to clear the bar two inches higher. "(Royce's) about where we'd like him this time of year," Harvey said. Harvey is optimistic about where his team is headed and how the Wolverines will fare in the coming meets. "We've come off a long Christmas break and we're just now rounding into shape. I think you'll see some improve- ments in performances this week and in the weeks to come," he said. The Wolverines host the Michigan Intercolleglates Saturday. Men's gymnastics looks for revenge against WeStern By Chaim Hyman Daily Sports Writer The Michigan men's gymnastics team has a new focus. After coming in at the bottom of last week's Windy City Invi- tational at Illinois-Chicago, the Wol- verines hope to avenge the loss by beat- ing each of the teams that finished ahead of them - one at a time. Michigan will get its first crack at one of those teams this Saturday when they face off in a dual meet at Western Michigan. This is only the Wolver- ines' second meet of the regular sea- son, but expectations are high despite the fact that the Broncos placed ahead of them by more than eight points last week. Michigan finished with a team score of 197.55, behind the Broncos' 205.8. "We were very disappointed with finishing at the bottom of the pack last week," Michigan coach Bob Darden said. "Western was a part of that com- petition, and we are training hard for them." Practice this week has been intense. To improve quickly enough to have an impact on the strong Western squad, Michigan is training with an emphasis on areas in which it has done poorly. "From a coaching perspective, I'd like to see the team do better for them- selves," Darden said. "We have a fairly substantial margin to make up with Western, but we're looking at details and trying to fine-tune those." Despite the disappointing start, Darden said he believes that last week's score provides his team with a training goal. "We always look to improve on our prior performance," Darden said. "This weekend we're going to build on that score." The gymnasts are not the only mem- bers of the Michigan squad who will be working hard. Coaching efforts are be- ing focused on getting the team ready for this weekend's meet as well. "I have tremendous confidence in this team, and what (the coaches) have to do is instill confidence in the team," Darden said.
