The Michigan Daily - Thursday, December 5, 2002 - 7A 'Cats challenge 'M' tourney streak VOLLEYBALL MANHATTAN, KAN. By Albert Kim Daily Sports Writer easy. Kansas State is one of the hottest teams in the nation, having won 14 of their last 16 games, en route to a 20-8 regular season finish. Michigan was This weekend, the Michigan volley- ball team will look to do something no other vol- leyball team in Michi- gan's history has done - get past the second round of the NCAA Tourna- ment. To do that, the Wolver- ines will travel to Man- hattan, Kan. to face No. 22 Kansas State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament tomorrow MANHATTAN, KAN. Who: Michigan (1010 Big. Ten, 16-14) vs. No. 22 Kansas State (164 Big 12, 20-8) When: 9 p.m. Latest: Michigan has made it past the first round in every NCAA Tournament in which it has participated. swept last year in the only previous meeting between the two schools. The Wildcats also bring a very balanced attack to the table, led by All-Big 12 Conference selections Lau- ren Goehring, Gabby Guerre and Cari Jensen. But despite their strong attack, Kansas State has just a 12-28-1 overall record against the Big Ten, and has ment with an at-large bid, the Wolver- ines are confident that they will be able to make some noise. Michigan comes in with a 16-14 overall record, having played one of the toughest schedules in the country in one of the most competi- tive conferences in the nation. This should only help the Wolverines in tour- nament play. "There's not a weekend in the Big Ten where you can just kind of slack off," Gandolph said. "It's not going to be any surprise to come out and play a tough team, because that's what we do every day anyway." The Wolverines have made it to the tournament three times, and all three times Michigan has walked away after losing in the second round. The last time Michigan was in the NCAA Tour- nament was in 2000, when it beat Con- ference USA champion Louisville but got swept by No. 2 Arizona. - With a 3-3 record in past NCAA Tournament play, Michigan has been nothing if not consistent. But with the way the Wolverines have been able to overcome obstacles in the last month of the season, things may change this year. "Anything can happen in the tourna- ment," Gandolph said. SIKORA Continued from Page 5A Most people would argue that trying to motivate someone to accomplish a goal with no tangible reward is very difficult. This is exactly the dilemma the Michigan basketball team is faced with right now, and it seems lifeless. But there are other reasons to want to win. Things such as pride and winning for the sake of being the best are also important. If the Wolverines don't realize this, it is Amaker's responsibility to impress the notion upon them. Although the postseason is no longer a reality, this season is an opportunity for Amaker to prove that he can be an effective coach, and that Michigan can be winners. He must use this season to eradi- cate the "losing culture" and start lay- ing a proper foundation for this program - a foundation based on a winning tradition. These should be this season's pur- poses. They may not lead to a tourna- ment this year, but Amaker is focused on the future anyway. At least they give this season meaning. And letting this year go by without accomplishing something would be a huge mistake. night. If victorious, Michigan will face either Washington State or Oral Roberts in the next round. "It will make my senior year if we make it past the second round," middle blocker Katrina Lehman said. But the road for Michigan will not be RYAN WINERDaily Outside hitter Chantel Reedus and the Wolverines are returning to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2000. They have never lost in the first round. gone a meager 4-8 against tournament bound teams this year. In addition, Michigan has its own trio to counter Kansas State - All-Big Ten selection Erin Moore, setter Lisa Gamalski and outside hitter Jennifer Gandolph. With those three leading the way, Michigan coach Mark Rosen likes his team's chances. "I like our draw," Rosen said. "Kansas State is a team that is very good, but I know their personnel very well, and we match up well with them."
