The Michigan Daily - Friday, March 22, 1996 --13 .M' men's lacrosse looks toward 7th straight Big Ten title Georgetown downs Texas Tech, 98-90 Hoyas to face UMass in Great Eight ,y Pranay Reddy Daily Sports Writer The quest for a seventh straight Big Ten championship for the Michigan men's lacrosse club (1-0 Big Ten, 4-1 overall) begins this weekend when it heads to West Lafayette for the Big Ten East Regionals. The round-robin tournament will help determine seedings for the Big Ten Championships to be held in April. The 'olverines can earn a first-round bye in the Big Ten championships by doing well in the regionals, and earning a No. I seed. The regionals will also provide the Wolverines the opportunity to play teams they haven't played this year from the East Region of the Big Ten. This weekend's foes include Illinois, Indiana and tournament host Purdue. 4ichigan already defeated Michigan ate, 21-11, this year, which is why the two will not meet this weekend. Illinois looks to pose the biggestthreat to the Wolverines' current run, when the two teams meet tomorrow. The Illini were up, 9-6, in the fourth quarter of last year's Big Ten championship semifi- nal, before Michigan pulled out a 12-10 victory. "(The Wolverines) know how to win," Illinois coach Brian Mosher said. 'Any mistake we made last year, they ook advantage of." This year's Illini squad is stronger than ever, with the addition of freshmen midfielder Sean McCone and attacker Scott, Lirette, who both are from the East Coast. "We match up as well as we ever have with Michigan," Mosher said. Facing top collegiate competition might actually be a break for the Wol- *erines, who are coming off a crushing loss to the Motor City Lacrosse Club, 16-13. Michigan was completely outplayed in that game, with all facets of its game falling apart. "In the prior games if the offense was down, the defense would pick up, or vice versa," Michigan coach Bob DiGiovanni said. "In (the Motor City game) everyone was down, and no one picked up." Michigan can take solace in the fact that it lost to a more experienced Motor City team made up of former Division I varsity players, including six All- Amen cans. "We have to keep things in perspec- tive," DiGiovanni said. "The real busi- ness at hand is this weekend." The Wolverines will have a full squad going into this weekend's tournament. Roughly one-third of the team missed the three victories over spring break but returned for the Motor City game. The amount of practice time will be one major difference in West Lafayette. After coming back from spring break, the Wolverines had only one practice with its entire unit, before facing Motor City. The lack of cohesiveness was ap- parent on the field in the last game, but should be corrected, as the team prac- ticed three times this week. "We've been running pretty hard (in practice)," captain Alex Cedro said. "(The Motor City) game was a wake-up call for us. We really didn't hustle." Another major concern for Michigan this weekend is the change in playing conditions. The Wolverines practice in- doors on artificial turf, while the regionals will be played outdoors on grass. "I hoped that we could have prac- ticed outside this week, but the snow prevented us from doing that," DiGiovanni said. Michigan hopes that is all the snow will prevent. The Associated Press ATLANTA -Allen Iverson, unfazed by a poor shooting touch, never stopped firing last night. Iverson, despite hitting only 10-of-29 from the field, scored 32 points to lead Georgetown into the finals of the NCAA East Regional with a 98-90 victory over Texas Tech. The Hoyas (29-7) haven't been this far in the tournament since 1989, when they lost in a regional fi- nal to Duke. Tomor- row, they will meet Other SCor top-ranked Massa- Kentucky 101, Ul chusetts for a trip to Wake Forest 60,1 77-76 when Cory Carr made two free throws with 4:11 remaining.

Jerome Williams had the final five points ofthe game-deciding spurt, finishing it off with a 3-point play with two minutes remaining. Jason Sasser led Texas Tech with 25 points, but his only points in the final 15 minutes came on a meaningless 3-pointer late in the game w 11 e n res tah 70 Louisville 59 Georgetown's lead was secure.

Massachusetts 7< Texas Tech (30- 2), making its first appearance in the round of 16 since 1976, had the nation's longest winning streak snappedat23 games andofficially brought down the curtain on Southwest Confer- ence basketball. The third-seeded Red Raiders, headed to the Big 12 next season, came into the game looking forrespect, butthey couldn't overcome a 17-0 run which gave the Hoyas a 72-61 lead midway through the second half. Iverson had 6 points during that span, setting up his points with a couple of steals. Othello Harrington, inserted back into the game despite four fouls, added 5 points in the run. Texas Tech caught a break when Harrington fouled out with 7:52 left after scoring 23 points, but Georgetown, the region's No. 2 seed, never relinquished its lead. The Red Raiders got as close as 9, Arkansas 63 brilliantcareerigno- miniously by be- coming the fifth player in the game to foul out. Georgetown spent most of the final minutes at the foul'line and finished a staggering 33-of-46. Texas Tech was 23-of-35 in the physical game that was marked by bodies tumbling all over the court. But above it all was Iverson, whose quickness and ball-handling skills dic- tated the pace. It was hardly his best game of the season, but somehow the talented sophomore kept winding up in the middle of the action. He finished with five assists, four re- bounds, four steals and only two turn- overs. Texas Tech led for most of the first half. Its biggest advantage was 42-32 with 3:05 to go after a 10-0 run, but Georgetown closed the gap to 50-47 at halftime.

Georgia Tech, Cimnnati . i The Medical School Information Fair TODAY! 10:00 AM-3:30 PM Michigan Union Ballroom The Associated Press LEXINGTON, Ky.- It's every coach's dream to have a trio of perimeter players who can shoot and pass and two inside players who can score and re- bound. That's what will be on view tonight in the second game of the Southeast Re- gional semifinals, only they'll be facing each other. Third-seeded Georgia Tech (24-11), with the potent perimeter threesome of Drew Barry, Stephon Marbury and Matt Harpring, meets second-seeded Cincin- nati (27-4), with the powerpair of Danny Fortson and Art Long. It should come down to which non- stars come up big that could decide which team advances to Sunday's regional final to play the winner of the game between top-seeded Connecticut (32-2) and fifth- seeded Mississippi State (24-7). "Eddie Elisma and Mike Maddox are playing well," Barry said Thursday ofthe Yellow Jackets' center and power for- ward. "We don't have a weakness now." Cincinnati coach Bob Huggins knows how much his backcourt means to any success the Bearcats have had. "When we weren't playing well it was when we were trying to be a power team," he said. "We need balance. We have good guards." So does Georgia Tech, the Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season cham- pions. "They have probably the best three perimeter players playingtoday," Huggins said. "They create so much offense out of the context of their own offense." Marbury, a freshman who many feel will be heading forthe NBA very soon, is the point guard and leads the team in scoring at 19.0. Barry, the last collegian of the four sons of Hall of Famer Rick Barry, is a combination guard who aver- ages 13.5 points and6.5 assists. Harpring, a sophomore small forward who has blos- somed of late, averages 18.8 points and 8.2 rebounds. Cincinnati doesn't plan much ofastrat- egy change from the physical style it has become known for under Huggins. "They've got good guards who can shoot," Fortson said. "We're going to try wear them out and go with our game plan which is physical dominance." Fortson, a sophomore power forward, averages 20.3 points and 9.3 rebounds, while Long, a senior center, averages 9.0 and 7.9.
