football team this semester.
Linebackers Kaleb Ringer and
Joe Bolden and safety Jarrod
Wilson have all enrolled early
in school and will be practicing
with the team in the spring.
Hoke said it was the players'
decision to enroll and that he
didn't encourage them to do so.
"They just were able to," Hoke
said. "We didn't push any of
them to come early.
"I think at some point, kids miss
their senior year of high school,
and I think that's kind of an impor-

their clock made it work."
Hoke did mention that it obvi-
ously will be advantageous for
the players football-wise, given
that they will have extra tinte
to learn defensive coordinator
Greg Mattison's system.
But there are other advantag-
es, too.
"From an academic stand-
point it's as important as any-
thing when you don't have the
pressure of a season going on,"
Hoke said.

Six days ago, No. 13 Michi-
gan's lone regular season contest
against Wisconsin looked much
more daunting than it does now.
In the past week, the 18th-
ranked Bad-
gers, who had
been 160-12 at Wisconsin
home under at Michigan
head coach Bo Matchup:
Ryan, dropped Wisconsin
two straight at 12-4; Michi-

earlier in the season, took down
Wisconsin, 72-65.
Three nights later, the Bad-
gers (1-2 Big Ten, 12-4 over-
all) lost a 63-60 overtime
heartbreaker to Michigan State.
Wisconsin almost managed to
erase a 7-point deficit in the last
30 seconds of the extra frame
when Badger guard Ryan Evans
banked in a 3-point heave to tie it
at the buzzer. But as it turned out,
the game clock above the back-
board wasn't aligned with the
other clocks posted in the arena
and the basket was waved off.
"That's the correct ruling,"
said Michigan coach John
Beilein. "Unfortunately, the
clocks weren't in sync. Now
which one is the right one? Is
one running slightly ahead or
is one running slightly behind?
The way I understand the rule,
it's what's ever on that back-
board. If that light goes up,
that's the one."
The call sealed the Badgers'
third home loss of the season
and gave them their worst Big
Ten start since 2002.
After a slow start to his sea-
son; senior point guard Jordan
Taylor has scored 20 points per
game in Big Ten play, dropping
28 on the Spartans on Tuesday.
He also dishes out nearly five
assists per game and boasts a 3:1
assist-to-turnover ratio.

graduation of Jon Leuer and
Keaton Nankivil. He averages
12 points and five rebounds per
game.
"They're a really good team,
they're tough," said senior guard
Zack Novak. "We know we got a
big challenge coming."
Michigan (2-1, 12-3) took care
of the Big Ten bottom dwellers
in its first two games before fall-
ing to Indiana last night, 73-71.
Sophomore forward Tim
Hardaway Jr. has struggled with
his shot recently, and the Wol-
verines have had to count on
other players for scoring.
Though Hardaway Jr. had a
team-high 19 points on Thurs-
day, only one of his field goals
wasn't a layup and he missed
two crucial 3-pointers in the
final two minutes.
Over the last two games, he
is 9-for-33 from the field and
has missed his last 12 3-point
attempts. But on Wednesday, he
didn't appear fazed by his shoot-
ing struggles.
"You got to go out there and
get reps if your shot isn't fall-
ing," Hardaway Jr. said. "Just
got to go out there and get reps
on the practice floor and keep
shooting.
"(Mentally), it didn't bother
me at all. Just go out there and

Against Minnesota on Sun-
day, freshman point guard Trey
Burke took on the scoring load,
making 8 of 11 shots and notch-
ing a career-high 27 points inthe
Wolverines' 61-56 victory.
And on Thursday, while
Burke and Hardaway Jr. were
drawing iron all evening, senior
guard Stu Douglass knocked
down three 3-pointers and red-
shirt sophomore center Jordan
Morgan made six of his seven
field goal attempts.
Sunday, when the Badgers
come to Crisler Center, the Wol-
verines won't be able to afford
a bad shooting day. Wisconsin's
ability to work the shot clock leads
to longer possessions and Michi-
gan tends to adapt to the tempo of
the opposition. This means fewer
possessions for both teams, and
the Wolverines will need to capi-
talize on their chances.
"Wh'e got to com1back,
'Thani 'our pace, Thge our
mindset completely, and just
worry about protecting home
court," Douglass said. "We want
to run when we can, but with
Wisconsin, we know we have to
value every single possession. We
didn't really do that in this game.
We can't have that same mindset
we did today on Sunday."
