grab win
in triple
overtime
By Dennis Onnen " "
It tooK Nebraska three overtimes 10 oo it, dui tne
Huskers finally struggled past Iowa State, 91-88, Tuesday
night before 4,100 fans.
With 16 seconds left, it looked as if the game might go
into a fourth overtime when Cyclone Hercle Ivy hit a
jumper from the corner to tie the game, 88-88. Husker
Jerry Fort then brought the ball down the right side of the
court and four 1 Brendy Lee open underneath the basket.
Lee hit the layup with five seconds to go, and Iowa State
threw away the inbounds pass to seal the Husker win.
Offensive star for the Huskers was Bob Siegel, who made
12 of 14 shots from the field and scored 28 points.
He appeared to be completely healthy after bronchitis
caused him to miss the last three games. The freshman
reserve played most of the game and admitted he was
surprised he was able to hold up.
"When I was warming up, I was feeling a little
weakness," he said. His arching jumper from the top of the
key tied the game, 83-83, with one second to go in the
second overtime and sent the crowd into a roar of ecstasy.
"He's been working very hard on his shooting," Coach
Joe Cipriano said of Siegel. He also praised the rebounding
of Larry Cox, who led the Huskers with 15 rebounds.
"Our kids really hung in there," Cipriano said. "They
rose to the occasion." But he also expressed
disappointment that the Huskers didn't win the game at the
end of regulation time.
Nebraska came back from a 14-point deficit early in the
second half to take a 65-60 lead with 2:09 to go. The
Cyclones then made a comeback of their own to tie the
game on a jump shot by Robert Wilson with 10 seconds
left.

Weather, labor delay
fieldhouse completion
Much has been written about the need for the new Fieldhouse
on the Nebraska State Fairgrounds, and about the inadequacy of
the Coliseum.
The coaches of UNL teams that will use the Fieldhouse talk
about how it will increase spectator interest, improve the quality
of schedules and provide better conditions for practice and
competition.
However, according to Miles Tommeraasen, UNL
vice-chancellor of business and finance, rumors that the structure
won't be ready for the 1975 Big 8 basketball season (as originally
planned) may be true.
Tommeraasen said completion of the $12 million building by
January 1975 is very unlikely. "Hopefully we'll have it ready by
March 1975' he said, "but after that it's academic. We hope to
have it done at least in time for the 1975 State Fair in August."

Harley Schrader, UNL physical plant administrator, explained
that increased construction in Lincoln, plus an unemployment
rate far below the national level, have caused a shortage of skilled
labor.
Schrader also said a wet summer, which made it difficult to
move heavy machinery, and the cold spell in late December and
early January, which restricted use of welding equipment, has
slowed construction.
According to Tommeraasen construction is three months
behind schedule.
Tha Legislature also has done its part to slow things down.
One measure, LB510, made provisions to increase the size of
the structure so that more seating could be added to the
basketball arena if needed The bill delayed contract bids three
months.
Supported by local swimming enthusiasts, Legislative
Resolution 85 proposed a major change in the size of the
Fieldhouse swimming pool. The Legislature agreed 15 see that the
enlargement would be made if these groups could raise the money
to finance the expansion within 90 days. They didn't raise the
funds, and things were set back another month.
it would be grossly unfair to start blaming any one person or
krdU&.for .the, .delays.. The factors tHat have contributed most to
this delay are things that really couldn't be helped.
This leaves the UNL athletic teams and fans to bear with the
current facilities and wait for January, 1975, when the structure
may be completed, or else March, or August, or maybe even....
