Pre-season opponents
should toughen cagers
By Ward W. Tripktt III
Dsily Netreskcn Sesiior Editor
Nebraska women's basketball
Coach Kelly Hill believes the only
way to build a strong program is
to play strong teams.
That's why Arizona, mid
standings finisher in the nation's
best women's basketball confer
ence, National Women's Invita
tional Tournament champions
Clemson and Big Ten favorite
Wisconsin will be in town this
weekend for the Husker Invita
tional The 7 p.m. game against Ariz
ona Friday night will be the
Huskers' first competition of the
year. After the tournament ends
with Saturdays 7:30 p.m. game,
the Huskers will travel to Minne
sota to play the Gophers and
either Tennessee, last year's na
tional runner-up, or Northeast
Louisiana, a pre season top ten
team.
"WeVe got four games coming
right up that are really going to
test us," Hill said. This will be her
first season as the "official" coach.
Last year, If 111 led the Huskers to
a. 16-13 record as an interim
coach after being an assistant
coach for three seasons.
"I believe that the only way to
make ourselves a good team is to
play good teams," she said. "I also
want to bring some people in
here to watch us, and hopefully
the media will pick up on us."
The Huskers' tough pre-BIg
Eight schedule is designed to pre
pare the squad for those games
that "really count," Hill said.
"It might be a little ruthless,",
she said. "But hopefully it will pay
off for us later on."
Hill took her team to the public
Sunday for the Red-White game
in Wahoo, The Red team, which
ran with last year's starters Angle
Miller, Terri Parriott, Cathy Owen
-1 v---
and Debra Powell defeated the
White team 100-81.
"I was real pleased with the
game," Hill said. "After six weeks
of playing against each other, I
was glad to see they were still
willing to give a good effort. The
intensity stayed high the entire
game."
The game didn't settle who
would take the floor against
Arizona. Powell, Owen, Miller and
Imming are pretty good bets, but
the other forward spot could go
to Parriott, Shelley Block or Maur
tice Ivy.
"I'm not really concerned with
who that other starter will be
because all three of those players
are going to play," Hill said.
Parriott, a senior from Ventura,
Calif., has the experience. Block,
a sophomore from Gothenburg,
played a spot relief role last sea
son and has looked very good this
year, Hill said. Ivy is a great tal
ent, Hill said, but is still learning
the small things that will make
her a great player.
Arizona finished with a 14-14
record last season, but lost games
to San Diego State, California
Long Beach and Southern Cal, all
top 20 teams. Their standouts
are Tan n is Overturf, whom Hill
described m their" Debra Powell
and Yclanda Turner, a six-foot
forward whom she said is their
best athlete.
All three tournament teams
will have a height advantage on
the Huskers, Hill said. She added
though, that her team seems to
be ready to go.
"1 think we're ready to play
ciir.st somebody else," she said.
"Bight now, it's tough to get moti
vated. If you do Well on offense, it
means there has been a break
down on defense. If you do well
on defense it means there's been
a breakdown on offense. I think
we're ready to play." .

Usually, when one tezm bests
another team, the losing coach is
full of praise for the victors. Not
so thi3 week with Nebraska foot
ball coach Tom Osborne.
Osborne said Oklahoma has a
fine team, but the Husker coach
preferred to praise the Corn
huskers. "There haven't been many times
when I felt we had the better
team and didnt win," Osborne
said at Monday's Extra Point Club
Luncheon in Lincoln. "But this
time, I did feel we were the better
team. I thought our offense played
better than their offense and our
defense played better than their
defense."
Nebraska outyarded the Soon
ers 373-201, but fell prey to turn
overs and missed scoring op
portunities. Osborne said he was
surprised with his team's three
missed field goals. Dale Klein mis
sed twice, from 49 to 23 yards,
and Scott Livingston failed to
connect on a 45-yarder.
"Normally, we'd expect to hit
on two out of three," Osborne
said. "It wouldn't have been extra
ordinary to hit three of three. But
the odds of going 0-3 are very
slim."
Ever notice how games bring
out the true nature of a person?
Saturday I was much more disap
pointed by a few bitter fans than
by our team. I would like to point
out to those who thoughtlessly
hurled cursings and revilings at
our players and coaches (not to
mention the opposing cheer
leaders) how their infidelity was
so blatantly manifested. To your
shame and humiliation, I must
point out that loyalty dependent
cn the performance and the suc
cess or failure of a person or
group is not loyalty at all I pity
your lady friends, dear sirs.

Osborne said Klein and Living
ston have been kicking well in
practice. Livingston, who held the
placekickir gjob early in the year
before giving way to Klein, has
been particularly impressive,
Osborne said.
"I'm talking 80 or CO percent
from 50 yards," he said.
The missed field goals combined
with several other factors to doom
the Huskers, Osborne said.
Other contributing factors men
tioned by Osborne were:
The Oklahoma gosl-line stand
that ended an SS-yard Nebraska
drive at the one with 5:32 left.
"There haven't been marry times
the last few years where weVe got
down inside the one and havent
scored," Osborne said. "They lined
up like we thought they would, in
a quarterback sneak-type defense.
We just didnt make the blocks
and execute the play."

kicked a field goal cn the next
play to give the Soonera a 10-7
lead.
"From where I stood, Neil Har
ris did have his arms underneath
the ball," Osborne said.
Problems on two Jeff
punt returns. Smith returned a
second quarter kick 25 yards to
the Husker 49, only to have the
play called back to the 13 on a
clipping penalty.
"That cost us about 40 yards,
and that's a lot of yards in a game
like that," Osborne said.
Smith rumbled Oklahoma's 10th
and final punt at the NU 43-yard
line with 3:43 left. OU scored four
plays later to put the game out of
reach at 17-7.
Osborne also commented on
the Huskers' run at the elusive
national championship.
"I think this team was deserv
ing of a national championship,
and I think last year's team was
deserving," he said. "I guess well
just keep trying."
