The Michigan Daily - Thursday, January 30, 1997 - 11A Hoosiers must deal with Johns this time around /lichigan center to square off with Indiana's Barnes By Sharat Raju Daily Sports Writer The last time the Michigan women's basketball team played Indiana, the Wolverines didn't have Pollyana Johns. The last time the Wolverines played the Hoosiers, they lost, 72-59. This time, Michigan (4-5 Big Ten, 12-6. overall) has Pollyana Johns available for the trip to Indiana (4-5, 4 4-8) on Sunday.Ths And this time .... to "That's a whole 'nuther ball game, ave 4 right there, (with Johns healthy)," - Michigan coach Sue Guevara said. Wlm Pol Johns, Michigan's 6-foot-2 center, J h s has been arguably the most consis- tent player for the Wolverines for the past three seasons. She averages a double-double - Michigan wo 4.4 points and 11.3 rebounds per COi me --and leads the Big Ten in rebounding. The Wolverines like to go to Johns early offensively so that the rest of the team can feed off her success in the post. So do you think her absence was missed in their previ- ous' meeting with Indiana? ME- :ac Also keep in mind that the Hoosiers boast 6-foot-5 center Quacy Barnes - the leading shot blocker in the Big Ten (4.22 blocks per game) who scored 18 points in Johns' absence. "This time, she'll have to contend with Pollyana Johns," Guevara said. Other than the fact that Johns will be suited up for this Sunday's game, other things differ from the last meeting between the two teams. The most obvious dif- Me, ;$ference is the venue. The Wolverines dropped their ontend last game against Indiana at home. They certainly haven't forgotten vana that. "We look at that 'M' down on the floor (at Crisler Arena), and - Sue Guevara that's ours," Guevara said. "They en's basketball were the first team to beat us at home. We gave that one to them, oh on Indiana's now we're going to go to Assembly Quacy Barnes Hall and take one from them." Not as obvious in this game is the improved play Guevara sees in Michigan. "We're playing much better now than when we played Indianatthe first time, "Guevara said. "We're gettingmore penetration on the perimeter than what we did before. Defensively, we're playing better." Guevara might also unleash a new weapon in her team's arsenal. "We've put in another defense which we haven't really shown," Guevara said. That never-before-seen defense might present a prob- lem for the Hoosiers. The Wolverines have effectively used their current full-court 'press in past games, so a new scheme might give Indiana even more fits. Ordinarily, the Wolverines - as do all Big Ten teams - have two games each weekend, one on Friday and another on Sunday. This week the Wolverines are fortu- nate to have Friday off. "I hope the rest is really going to help," Guevara said. "Traveling just wears on you." The Wolverines are aware that the traveling isn't over yet. After returning from Iowa last Sunday and heading over to Indiana this Sunday, the Wolverines will finish up at Penn State next Friday. The game against Indiana turns out to be a very important one for both teams. Indiana and Michigan are tied in sev- enth-place. The Wolverines are barely trailing Penn State and Iowa, both tied for fifth, and are not that far away from fourth-place Purdue. Guevara hopes that the next couple of weeks can push her team into the top-half of the conference. MARK 1FRIEDMAN/Waly Akisha Franklin was forced to sit out Michigan's last home game, because she had a tooth removed. Fortunately for her, the Wolverines have a day off this Friday to work on certain areas of their game. The Wolverines return to action Sunday at Indiana, where they may employ a new defense to avenge an earlier loss at the hands of the Hoosiers. If the Wolverines' my tery defense can match the intensity of their past full-court press, Indiana could be in for a long game. KRISTEN SCHAEFER/Daily unday, Pollyanna Johns will face the Big Ten's leading shot- ocker - Quacy Bames - for the first time this season.
