A crack Oklahoma cage team dimmed the Huskers
title hopes with a 56-49 overtime victory on the Coliseum
floor Saturday night. 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. If the Husk-
