Fab Five earn trip to Final Four
SEATTLE (API — Michigan,
perhaps the best team in thi»
country at playing half of a
game, is going truck to the Final
Four a flora show of bruin pow
er and rav talent overcame a big
deficit against Temple
The Wolverine*, aided hv a
key technical against Temple's
coach, danced on the court and
donned Final Four shirts at the
end of their 77-72 victory Sun
day. looking ahead to a meeting
with Kentucky In New Orleans
For the third straight game.
Michigan played one dismal
half and one superb half Fortu
nately for the Wolverines, they
put together their best play in
the second half against the
Owls. ( Owing back after trailing
by 10 points
Jalen Rose led Michigan with
17 point*, 13 in the second half,
as he took control of the offense
along with off-guard limmy
King, who hod H points Chris
Webber, who survived a beating
under tho boards, hud 13 points
and 12 rebounds.
Ku k Brunson led Temple (20
13) with 21 points, and Eddie
Jones scored 1H
Mu higan (30-4) was aided in
the final minutes by a technical
i all against Temple coach John
Chaney. Tho Owls trailed only
67-62 with 1 t<» left when
Chaney complained about a call.
That allowed Michigan to pull
away with five free throws —
one on the technical, two on the
tall and two more on another
ploy on Michigan's regaining of
possession.
From the first bump of the
game — Webber landing hard on
his butt on the opening tap —
Temple took charge, controlling
the ball and the tempo to grab a
35-27 halftime lead.
Webber spent almost as much
tune sprawled on the floor as he
did running in the opening half
And when he wasn't falling, he
was getting the hall picked from
his hands or he was throwing
away (losses Once, he slammed
the side of his head on the paint
after a scoop lay-up. and
moments later he tumbled onto
his back when his arm was
yanked by little guard Vic
Carstarphun.
This game wasn't rough only
on the court. The coaches got
into the ai t, verbally.
Michigan i oac.h Steve Fisher
complained to officials at half
time that C.arstarphen should
have been hit with a "flagrant
foul." which would have given
Webber two free throws and
Michigan possession Hut while
Fisher argued in vain. Chaney
shouted at him. "Shut the
(blank) up!"
Temple stole the hall eight
times in the first half, leading to
easy baskets, but its five for 10
shooting on three-pointers made
the difference with Michigan
going Iwo-for-t) from the same
distance.
Jones, Temple's leading scorer
through the tournament, was
confined to onlv 11 minutes in
the first half after picking up his
se< ond foul with Temple I wad
ing 1817 Bui that didn't slow
Temple. whn:h scored the next
six points ns forward Derrick
Battie and point guard Hie k
Brunson took over
Brunson ran Temple's offense
much more smoothly than |a!en
Rose ran Michigan’s in the first
half. Brunson seemed to he
everywhere, stealing the ball
three times, handing off six
assists, scoring nine points and
setting up Aaron McKie. who
scored 13 points in thefieriod.
Webber hit the floor again ear
ly in the second half, but now he
gave as mu< h as he got. dunking
and tapping in offensive
rebounds to lead Mu higan on a
15-4 run that gave the Wolver
ines their first lead. 42-41 with
14 23 left
Michigan pulled ahead 50-44.
but Temple's three-point shoot
ing — two Brunson and one by
Jones inside a minute — brought
the Owls ba< k even after 6-foot

fouled out with 9:t5 left
Temple's defense, so tough hi
the first half, weakened as
Mu lligan asserted its strength
under the boards on both ends
Temple last held the lead 56-55
with 5 47 to go. then Michigan
ran off seven points for a 62-56
lead
More than |>ower alone, it was
Michigan's man-lo-man defense
that also stopped Temple, leav
ing the Owls without a field goal
from Mil in the se< opd half to
the 1 56 mark

finished with 20 points, but the big six came on the overtime
three-pointers, which gave the Tar Heels a 74-68 lend with 1:53
to play.
"I didn't get any shots at the end of regulation because they
were expecting me to." Williams said. "In the overtime, as soon
as I crossed midcourt I could hear Coach yelling 'Knock it
down."'
Smith, the winningest coach in NCAA tournament history
with a 53-23 record, has won just one national championship
— 1082 in New Orleans, when freshman Michael Jordan hit his
famous jumper
Television replays showed Reese's dunk would have been
too late, but referee Jody Silvester said the basket would have
counted if it hod gone in.
"J probably think it shouldn't have counted." Smith said
I really shouldn't talk about that unless you want to pay the
fine," Cincinnati coach Bob Hoggins said.
Reese was laughing about the play in the locker room.
"It was a set play and I was supposed to tap the ball." he said.
"I was so open it threw me off and instead of tapping the'ball I
caught it, gathered myself, went up and missed the dunk.
Everything was happening pretty fast, but I'm surprised I had
so much time in eight-tenths of a second."
Cincinnati tied the game 66-66 with 36 seconds to play when
Tarrance Gibson went the length of the court with a loose ball
after North Carolina was charged with a 45-second shot clock
violation.
George Lym h missed a turnaround jumper with two seconds
left and the ball went out of bounds to North Carolina, setting
up the play that Reese failed to finish.
I was more impressed with the pass Reese made to Lynch
for the lay-up with two seconds left." Smith said. "We got two
good looks and couldn't convert."
Cincinnati took a quick lend in overtime, but Lynch tied it
and the Bearcats missed their last eight shots from the field, and
Williams started hitting his shots.
"The play of the game was when we stopped them defen
sively w ith the si ore tied," Huggins said. "They got an offen
sive rebound, we had to play defense for another 45 seconds,
and then Williams hit the big shot."
