Nebraska was very much in the game until the final 90 seconds of the overtime, when the Sooners exploded to their final seven-point margin. The Huskers were cold from the court, but managed to stay with the Sooners most of the time. With half a minute left in the regulation game, they held a 48-46 lead, but Wayne Glasgow's tip tied up the score and sent the game into extra innings. Anton Lawry's free shot with one minute gone in the overtime put the Huskers ahead until Paul Courty sank a fielder a minute later. From then on it was a mas sacre with the Sooners adding three field goals before the final gun. OKLAHOMA ZOOMED to an early 7-2 lead, but a concerted Husker offensive tied the count at 15-all with 12 minutes gone in the first half. Claude Retherford, Joe Malacek, and Kenny Anderson pushed the margin to 23-17, and the Scarlet left the court at the intermission sporting a 29-27 lead. The second half was nip and tuck all the way. Ken Pryor's drive-in pulled Oklahoma even at 30-all. After the Sooners had acquired a 39-36 margin, Bus White head tied the score at 39-apiece. Bill Waters put the Soonets ahead 42-41, then Bob Pierce tied it up again with a free shot, and Pierce and Retherford pushed Ne braska ahead 45-44 with three and a half minutes re maining. Pierce's tip-in pushed the count to 48-46, and then Glasgow tossed his game-tieing field goal. DESPITE THE LOSS, Nebraska still has an outside chance to grab the conference crown.
