If Travis Conlan had played anywhere near the way he did last weekend in Chicago, the Wolverines might still be alive. With 21 assists and two turnovers in three games, Conlan was arguably the best guard of the entire Big Ten Tournament - but he struggled against UCLA, turning the ball over an uncharacteristic four times and missing his only two shots. Jerod Ward, whose play was solid all season and no less than terrific in recent weeks, was all over the court again on Sunday, ripping rebounds and blocking shots - but his shot, like Bullock's, betrayed him against UCLA. Ward went 5- for-16, and though he hit a big 3-pointer to prolong Michigan's hopes for a few more agonizing seconds near the end of the game, he also missed a potentially huge trey a few minutes earlier that would have given Michigan the lead. There are lots of things that could have gone differently. Who knows? If Brandon Smith (zero minutes) had gotten a chance to jump in and give the Wolverines' offense a spark against the swarming UCLA defense, he may have been able to take some heat off Reid and Bullock. If Josh Asselin had been called on earlier to help with the interior defense, per- haps the Wolverines would have had better luck containing UCLA in the lane. Then again, if the regulars who weren't in serious foul trouble - Ward, Bullock, Reid, Conlan - had better luck containing Toby Bailey (19 points, six assists) and Kris Johnson (25 points), Michigan would likely have been fine anyway. After the game, the quote from Bullock summed up the loss: "I just picked the worst time to have a day where I couldn't hit the shots I've been hitting all year," he said. He was right, and it took class to stand up and take the blame. t 1 ' +" +r '} ,. a ,A a F ,',_ 9 Oi 443 iilllr GoMOr GMKpeiwa, inc.
