Sooners shuck Buskers' NIT hopes, 65-56
by JIM JOHNSTON
Sports Editor
There was a Nebraska
victory and sole possession of
second place to be had at the
Coliseum Tuesday night. But it
was the Cornhuskers who were
had, 65-56.
The Oklahoma Sooners
buried the Huskers worse than
any blizzard could do using a
zone defense to roll to their
seventh Big Eight win against
four defeats.
Nebraska, which fought
back the last two weeks for a
second-place tie, dropped to
fourth with a 6-4 record.
Missouri's date with
Oklahoma State was postponed
again Tuesday and so the
Tigers took over second
without dribbling a ball.
Oklahoma slips into the No. 3
slot.
Nebraska, the nation's No. 4
shooting team from the field,
shot a dismal 37 per cent in the
second half as the Sooners
went from a 44-40 deficit to a

52-44 lead within five minutes.
Trailing 35-29 at the half,
the Huskers took the lead for
the first time (42-40) on an Al
Nissen fielder with 12:42
remaining. Tom Gregory's
20-footer gave the Huskers a
four-point cushion before
Oklahoma exploded for 12
straight points.
The Sooners' defense
i mobilized Nebraska. Marvin
Stewart, who didn't score in
the first half after collecting
three quick fouls, just didn't
have it.
And neither did anybody
else on the Husker team. The
guards couldn't hit. The center
and forwards couldn't get open
inside. For that matter, the
Huskers didn't score a field
goal inside the freethrow in the
second half line except for one
Stewart lay up.
Cornhusker coach Joe
Cipriano blamed the loss to the
lack of timing in our offense.

Marvin Stewart fell being
overconfident had something
to do with it.
"We just got outplayed,'
said Cipriano. "I'll have to look
at the movies to figure out
what it was, but there was just
no timing in our offense."
Stewart, who couldn't
remember another time in his
cage history that he didn't
score in a half, sat in front of
his locker in a quiet dressing
room. The game had been over
for 20 minutes, but Stewart
was still in his basketball
uniform.
"1 just don't know what
happened," said Marv. "We
were flat and a little over
confident. We had a good road
trip and I think we might have
been a little overconfident for
this one."
The Huskers fell behind
quickly in the game 4-0 before
tying things up at 4-4. But
Oklahoma's zone and Bobby
Jack's shooting quickly gave
the half to the Sooners.
"We rarely use a zone,"
admited Oklahoma coach John
MacLeod, "but when our big
men got into foul trouble we
had to do something."
Jack. Oklahoma's handy 6-5

Sooners gain
NIT edge
Oklahoma coach John
MacLeod called Tuesday's
clash with Nebraska "the battle
for third."
But he knows it goes a little
farther than t hat. The Sooners
now appear to have the inside
track on second place in the
Big Light and an invitation to
the NIT.
The Sooners (7-4) now hold
third place, but have only three
games remaining while Missouri
and Nebraska each have four.
Missouri and Nebraska have
two extremely difficult tasks
remaining. The Tigers must
travel to Boulder, Colo, and
entertain Kansas at home.

Another big advantage for
the Sooners is the overall

Missouri is 14-7.
The Huskers are 16-6 on the
year, but now face an uphill
struggle for second in the Big
