Albrecht is averaging 7.6 minutes per game through Jan. 22, and giving sophomore Trey Burke the opportunity to rest up on the bench for stretches. Nickname: "'Spike' is obviously the most prominent one, but Coach Beilein likes to call me 'The Baby-Faced Assassin.' I guess I look kind of young." Favorite Class At U-M: "Right now, the four other freshmen and I are in a class called 'The Culture Of Basketball.' It's a lot of fun. We are learning about the evolution of basketball, the innovations, where it began and how it has transformed into what it is now." Favorite Movie: "I'm a big comedy guy. 'Tommy Boy' is a good one. I like the throwback movies, 'Home Alone,' stuff like that." Favorite TV Show: "Nik Stauskas and I watch a lot of 'Family Guy' together. The dad, Peter, is really funny." Albrecht's favorite athlete is Steve Nash, but Favorite Ann Arbor Restau- his role models are his father and grandfather. photo by lon horwedel rant: "The Chop House is obviously a good one, but I'm not going to make it there too often. I really like Mongolian Barbeque. It reminds me of a restaurant back home." Best Meal He Can Make For Himself: "I don't really make many meals by myself, living in the dorms. Back home, I can make a good stuffed cabbage.
