10 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, January 21, 1998 HASKINS Continued from Page 9 where near the nets. It could have been a fishing net and it still wouldn't have mat- tered. In Michigan's 65-57 victory over Minnesota, the Gophers (0-6 Big Ten, 7- 10 overall) didn't score for the first 6:17 of the game. They shot an unfathomable 14.7 percent from the field on 5-of-34 shooting in the first half and 29.4 percent for the game. But it's not as if Michigan was lighting it up from the field, either-shooting just 32.1 percent on 9-of 28 shooting in the first half and finishing at 34.6 percent. Besides All-America candidate Sam Jacobsen, Minnesota's high scorer with 21 points -- who nailed a few long 3- pointers to bring the Gophers within five points with 42.6 seconds to play, there wasn't much more production from any- one. In last year's loss, Michigan turned over the ball twice in the last minute of the game and blew a four-point lead in the final three minutes. But history didn't repeat itself this time as Traylor put an end to any hope of a Minnesota comeback when he swatted away Erie Harris's layup, his third blocked shot of the game, to seal the win. Cut this! "I don't care where we cut it down," said Traylor. who had a teamn-high 21 points on 6-of-I11 shooting, responding to a question about what would happen if Michigan clinched a Big Ten title. "I just want to do it somewhere:' The extra motivation provided by last year's post-game jubilee may have been the difference in last night's game. The Wolverines sure didn't play as well as they have in their last 10 games. The conference-leading team didn't display its strong inside-outside game. Louis Bullock wasn't the same sharp- shooter of recent games. Robbie Reid connected on just 2-of-7 3-point attempts. And the team missed 14 foul shots. But this is not the same Michigan team, who just found a way to win, and this definitely is not the same Minnesota squad from last year. Bobby Jackson, the 1997 Big Ten Player of the Year, graduated last year and is with the Denver Nuggets. The Gophers' also don't have their forward tandem of John Thomas, who graduated, and Courtney James, who was suspended for the year. This is a team that is on a quick downward spiral. Different story: right Clem'? "What a difference a year makes'" Haskins said. "Last year, I was sitting here with nets around my neck, all smiles, and now we are 0-62 Big Ten Stndings Team Conf.

Crisler Arena A: 12,264 4 WEBBER Continued from Page 9 Webber, 24, a former standout at Michigan who led the Wolverines to two NCAA championship games, was dri- ving the Navigator, a sports utility vehi- cle, when he was stopped about 9:30 a.m. in Landover, Md., on the way to a 10 a.m. Wizards practice at the MCI6 Center in downtown Washington. According to the police report, Webber did not have a license or regis- tration, and offered his credit card as proof of identification. The report said Webber was "slow. to answer" questions, and struck the hand of the policeman when the officer went to open the car door. "The officer attempted to remove him," Prince George's police spokesper-* son Royce Holloway said. "He resisted, an assault occurred. The pepper spray, was deployed to the effect the arrest." Webber was- handcuffed and taken to the police station. The car was impound- ed and searched and officers found the stub of a nmarijuana cigarette and ashes in the front center ash tray. There also were also traces of marijuana leaves, ashes, stemns and seeds on the rear floor board on the driver's side, Wizards general manager Wes Unseld said: "Until we have an opportunity to -speak with Chris and the authorities involved in the incident, we will have no other comments." Webber is the latest Wizards player to have a brush with the law. In November 1996, Juwan Howard, another former Michigan standout, was charged with drunken driving in the District of Columbia when his Mercedes0 was stopped for speeding on a Washington street. The charges were dropped after Howard agreed to enter an alcohol rehabilitation and education pro- gram.
