Hustle, desire, and wanting the win bad enough
these were the ingredients in the Huskers upset over
Notre Dame. If the Husker club plays this same way
the rest of 4 the season on the road as well as at home,
it could win the Big Eight Championship. If the Huskers
play as they did against the Air Force, the cagers will
be cellar bound. ,
The Old Pro predicts that the league will end up the
same as the listings below. Here is gumnation of each
tcair and the weakness and strength as determined by
pre-season forecasts:
KANSJ STATE (lie 2)
K. State was last year's defending champion and
from the opening season's firing line, , it looks like the
team to beat for Big Eight honors again this winter.
The Wildcats . have strong rebounding power in Mike
Wroblewski, 6-8 center, and his relief man, . 7' Roger
Suttner. They were hurt by the departure of Ced Price
and Larry Comley to the Pro ranks but Hebron's Al
Peithman should pick up the slack. The Wildcats' big
waekness will be their forward situation. Although they
have the best looking tearji on paper, they are by no
means a cinch for the Big Eight title and they will get
beat several times in the conference. To cinch the title
early, they'll have to get outstanding outside shooting
from their guards and their experience will have to show.
The Wildcats have an entire starting lineup of seniors.
2 COLORADO (10-4)
The Buffalos will be seeking to annex a second ma
jor Big Eight crown with an experienced team. Hurt by
the loss of Roger Voss due to scholastic reasons, the
Buffs have a big team with fine rebounding ability and
scoring potential. Wilky Gilmore, 6-5 guard and Ken
Charlton, 6-6 forward, had 17.2 and 13.6 averages respec
tively for last season. Additional height is found in 6-8
center Jim Davis and 6-6 Milt Mueller. The big glaring
weakness the Buffs have is inadequate defense. They'll
score and be scored on. They also lack good team speed
but with all that height, they should give K. State a
good run for the money.
3 NEBRASKA (9-5)
The Huskers potentially have their greatest basket
ball team in the Bush regime. With Tom Russell and
Rex Swett leading the way, the Huskers could win the
title if they overcome their mental block of winning road
games. Oklahoma and Missouri should be easy road
victims and if NU can pick up two more, wins on the
road, the title will be in the bag. Hustle, desire, nd
outside shooting will make the difference' if the Huskers
move up or down from this spot.
4 OKLAHOMA STATE (8-6),
The Cowboys lack that all important height with only
Eddie Bunch, 6-8 center (15.2 last year), having the es
sential size to cope with the league'd big men. The
clubs other strong men are Cecil Epperley, who is the
best outside shot in the league, Moe Iba, Don Linsen
meyer, and Ivan Wiley; all under 6-4. With their ball
control and Hank Iba's tutorship, . the team won't get
-beat at home but shouldn't be a contender fojr the Big
Eight crown. If .everything goes right, they could go up
higher, but the Cowpokes are still along ways from the
top. Rebound power, overall experience, and dangerous
explosiveness in scoring, (highest point total for an Iba
team 79) will be the Cowboys' big weaknesses but de
fense and outside shooting will slightly compensate for
these factors. This team will be the upseter in the league.
5- IOWA STATE (G-8)
. The Cyclones lack one thing, height, an evil neces
sity of today's game. No eager on the Cyclone team's
staritng unit is above 6-4.. This factor along with poor
defense will cause the I. State squad to have a tough
year. The only bright spot the Cyclones have is the re
turn of Vince Brewer who has averaged 20.5 points in
the first two games and quarterback Gary Wheeler (13.0).
The rest of the team isn't up to Big Eight par. All
around shooting ability is the major strength of the
Cyclones but their defense must improve to appraoch
this position in the chart.
6 OKLAHOMA (6-8)
The Sooners could climb past every other contenders
but will .not be a title threat. The transfer of Brian
Ethridge, leading Oklahoma player last year, deeply
hurt the club, along with the loss of George Kernek
who signed a pro baseball contract with the St. Louis
Cardinals. Led by 6-7 Warren Fouts, 6-7 Darrell Hohman,
6-7V4 Stan Morrison, and 6-5 Jerry Haddock and back
courtsmen Jack Lee and Tom McCurdy, the Sooners
may surprise everybody in the league with height and
experience. The big factor missing in the team is of
fensive power. This club will have trouble coping with
other Big Eight Schools but may surprise somebody.
7- KANSAS (3-11)
The Jayhawks are no longer the kings of the con
ference. For the first time in a decade, the Kansas team
lacks big men and must depend on their back line cagers
to provide the punch needed to win. Jerry Gardner and
Nolen Ellison have done just that with a 20.5 and 17.5
average in the first two games. They were aided by Jim
Dumas, forward, who Milt for 16.5. There is no doubt
K.U. will have problems rebounding and defensively, but
tradition and pride should carry the ball club this high
at least. Loss of Hightower, Correll, and Hayward has
cost them dearly. Outside shooting appears to be the
only ace in the hole but Kansas' chances of rising are
slim. They probably will go downhill much quicker.
8- MISSOURI (113)
Losj of Henke and Scott have left the Tigers short
handed. With Sparky Stallcup serving his last season as
coach, the Tigers have something to go for but .the string
will run out quickly due to the lack of material present.
The Tigers have never been noted as. a defensive club
and with their offense in its present shape, the Missouri
team will have to be satisfied with an occasional win.
Ken Doughty and Howard Garrett, 6-7 center, lead the
team in scoring tms year, iney nave Deen ameu uy
Terry Turlington and 6-6 Ray Bob Carey, an outstanding
frosh last year. Lack of overall size and scoring ability
this year will contribute to the Tigers' poor showing but
who knows, they may upset somebody at the right time.
PREDICTIONS: Huskers rap Ohio University by 12,
then lose to Wyoming by 8.

Thompson's first instructor
was Leroy Alitz, the present

Thompson's victory in the
Cedar Falls tourney Saturday
was especially significant in
that the 157 pound division
was sprinkled with a hand
full of midwesterners.
