The last Kansas State loss was to the Huskers Feb. 1. "We played well last year (losing 70-69) and we usually seem to play them well there," Nebraska Coach Joe Cipriano said. "I would think our losing streak would be enough of an incentive for us to play well. Sure they're closing at home knowing they're champions, but I hope we're ready to play." The Big Eight basketball season closes Saturday with the Nebraska-Kansas State game and the Oklahoma-Missouri game at Columbia. However, Kansas State will be goinq to the NCAA Midwest Regional tournament at Iowa State and Missouri is bound for the National Invitational Tournament in New York City.
