Hawkeyes press Blue
into frustrating loss
IOWA CITY - Michigan showed it could sink the basketball from afar
in its 79-78 loss to Iowa last night. But unfortunately for them, the Wolver-
ines could not shoot from the opposing baseline.
Michigan lost to the Hawkeyes because it could not inbound the ball.
The team sank 11 of 23 three-pointers, but failed to advance the ball past
halfcourt on possession after possession.
Iowa implemented a tenacious press throughout most of the game, and
inbound miscues accounted for nine of Michigan's 29 turnovers. Couple
that with a few five- and ten-second violations, and you've got a ready-made
recipe for a loss.
"Twice we're up by one point and we don't make the entry," Michigan
coach Steve Fisher said, most notably in reference to Sam Mitchell's errant
inbound at 1:52 that allowed Iowa to take a 76-75 lead. As was customary
last night, Mitchell then repeated his miscue, and the Hawkeye lead in-
creased to three points with :57 remaining.
"Nobody in this league can afford to do that," Fisher conceded. "We're 0-
3 and looking up the barrel."
The Wolverines' other snafu while up one point occurred at 15:22, when
Iowa stole yet another ill-fated inbound. James Moses buried a 12-foot
jumper to give Iowa its first lead of the game, 51-50. Two minutes later,
Eric Riley ended the Hawkeyes' nine-point run with a dunk that seemed mo-
tivated by more than a desire to score.
Riley's apparent frustration was warranted; after all, the Wolverines
played well enough to win for much of the game. They even opened the
game with 12-0 run. And yet, Riley and the rest of the Michigan team were
about to let a hard-fought road game against a nationally-ranked Big Ten op-
ponent slip away.
All because they couldn't get the ball in play.
Michigan guard Kirk Taylor viewed Iowa's press as "the toughest in the
Big Ten." Taylor might be right, but that does not mean other conference
foes won't press Michigan flat.
Freddie Hunter played six minutes an scored two points in his fist ac-
tion this season. Fisher put Hunter in for his aggressive defense. Ironically,
Tony Tolbert watched the entire game from the bench.
"We just chose to go with different guys," Fisher said. "It was nothing
special."

IOWA CITY - Eccentric as
Iowa coach Dr. Tom Davis' game
plan sometimes may be, last night's
Iowa-Michigan matchup was defi-
nitely more hectic than what the doc-
tor prescribed.
The Hawkeyes and Wolverines
appeared to be controlled by a mad
scientist, combining for 54
turnovers - 32 in the first half and
22 in the second - during Iowa's
79-78 victory in the frenetically-
paced game.
Even Davis, known for concoct-
ing a run-and-gun offense and pres-
sure defense that looks like high-
speed Nintendo, said the game got a
little out of control.
"I think it was characteristic of
two young ball clubs," Davis said,
"Michigan tried to really go at us
and that's going to create some more
turnovers.
"Luckily our pressure defense got
us back in time after time."
Michigan coach Steve Fisher had
hoped to deal better with the pres-
sure, partly by instructing his own
team to push the ball and press on
defense.
"The first key we put up was
pressure offense and it went south in
a hurry," Fisher said. "We could
have won the game but didn't."
Michigan (7-6 overall, 0-3 Big
Ten) led until 15:20 remained in the
game, when No. 22 Iowa (13-2, 2-1)
pulled ahead, 51-50, after being
down, 39-36, at halftime period.
Iowa extended the lead to eight, 64-
56, before the Wolverines battled
back to tie the score at 71 and again
at 73.
After a Val Barnes free throw,
Eric Riley hit a ten-foot jumper to
give Michigan the lead 75-74.
Barnes then hit a short jumper to put
the Hawkeyes up again 76-75.
Iowa stole Michigan's next two
inbound passes - not a rare sight
during the game - and converted on
one to take a 78-75 lead.
Demetrius Calip forced a turnover
kind of put us in a hole.ag
"I think we kind of let up in'the
second half. I think we stopped
putting pressure on them and put*
on us."
At first, it seemed like only The
Hawkeyes were spinning their
wheels, as Michigan began the game
with a 12-0 burst, including three-
pointers by Calip and Talley.
Earl scored Iowa's first four
points on two free throws and a slam
dunk before Rodell Davis and Barnes
stole Michigan's next two inbou4
passes. When the dust cleared, Dav,
had made a short jumper and Barnes
a free throw to cut the lead to 12-7.
Iowa's halfcourt defense was also
stingy, as the Wolverines barely
penetrated inside the three-point line
for eight minutes. Michigan's next
11 points came on three-pointers a id
free throws.
Still, even with the turnoverfkil
Mary offense, Michigan managed.~te
retain a lead at halftime, despite a
nine-point Hawkeye run to end the
half.
