Blue in desperate need of conference win at Minnesota

S&

By CHANTEL JENNINGS
Daily Sports Editor
With the Michigan men's bas-
ketball team's last-second loss to
No. 12 Wisconsin on Wednesday
night, the stakes have been raised
for the Wol-
verines as they Michigan at
face Minnesota
on Saturday in Minnesota

Michigan (7-9 liams Arena

overall) also BTN
has to deal with
Minnesota's
infamous raised floor.
The players on the bench will
be at eye level with their team-
mates' shins and Michigan coach
John Beilein will have to look up
to his squad as he calls out direc-
tions.
The Wolverines are looking to
rebound from devastation, but

as they've showed before - after
close losses to then-No. 3 Kan-
sas and then No. 2 Ohio State
- they've usually been able to
bounce back.
"I don't think we can play vic-
tim, I don't think that will help us,
at all," junior Stu Douglass said
after the Wolverines' loss to Wis-
consin. "We just got to look for-
ward to Minnesota and Michigan
State. That's all we can do right
now."
But Michigan is looking for-
ward to a Minnesota squad that
beat it 69-64 earlier this season.
The Gophers (6-9, 17-10) used
their immense length to suffocate
the Wolverines with a 2-3 zone
defense. Against that defensive
set, Michigan shot just 12-for-35
fromthe field.
Minnesota's frontcourt -
juniors Colton Iverson and Ralph
Sampson III - standing at 6-foot-
10 and 6-foot-11, respectively - is
complemented by two smaller
forwards, redshirt junior Trevor
Mbakwe and sophomore Rodney
Williams. Mbawke and Williams,
who both stand above 6-foot-7,
feature 7-foot-1 wingspans, mak-
ing them especially dangerous on

the wing in the 2-3 zone.
The Gophers also used thatsize
to dominate the Wolverines on the
glass. Minnesota outrebounded
Michigan, 38-13, and kept redshirt
freshman Jordan Morgan off the
glass. It was his only game this
seasonwherethe 6-foot-8 forward
failed to grab a single rebound.
"It's a whole team effort," Mor-
gan said of the team's rebounding
struggles after that performance.
"It's not just down low. That's a
large part of it, but we need every-
one trying their best to just clean
up on rebounds."
Sophomore point guard Darius
Morris was also less effective
than normal that game for the
Wolverines. He recorded just 11
points and four assists after get-
ting into early foul trouble. But
since then, Morris has averaged
14 points and six assists, as he
gains more experience in confer-
ence play.
"He's playing against Big Ten
talent," Beilein said of Morris
after the Wolverines' loss to the
Gophers. "It'svery difficult.You're
not goingto be the same. He's still
going to find ways to function and
he's goingto keep working on it."

ERINKIRKLAND/Daily
Junior guard Stu Douglass has recently made his way into the Wolverines' starting rotation.
