Ann Lemire - nicknamed Be

"I like to get involved with my team-

Lemire is also a great penetrator, rou-

Michigan's Ann Lemire goes up for a layup in Sunday's 6965 victory over Iowa. The junior guard had 13 points and four
rebounds in the overtime win for the Wolverines. Known as a prankster off the court, Lemire doesn't mind playing a few tricks
on the court, as she frustrates opponents with 11.8 points per game and a 46 percent 3-point shooting record.

By James Goldstein

In the preseason, Purdue coach
Gene Keady and the Boilermakers
were the odds-on favorites to win their
third Big Ten title in four years - the
Big Ten regular season title, that is.
There's another championship to
yearn for this year - the Big Ten
Championship, a four-day tournament
involving all 11 conference teams that
takes place March 5-8 at the United
Center in Chicago.
Purdue, which stands at 5-2 in the
conference and in a tie for second
place with Michigan, Illinois and
Indiana - heads to Crisler Arena
tomorrow to play the Wolverines in its
only regular season meeting this sea-
son.
Once again, "regular season" should
be emphasized here because the two
teams could square off in the Big Ten
tournament.
In his 18th year of coaching at
Purdue, Keady

March and not necessarily just win-
