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."

FOR 5% PRINTING DISCOUNT by Andrew Gottesman Daily Basketball Writer 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.
