UNL scored 73.56 points, qualifying them for competition as a team in the regional tournament to be held this spring at Iowa State. By Larry Stunkel Before the season started, UNL basketball coach Joe Cipriano would have said his team would be strong on defense and have good depth and rebounding in the front line, while guard Jerry Fort would lead an offense that needed to generate a consistant, high scoring attack. A case in point was Saturday's 74-61 win over Kansas State, as the Huskers opened their Big 8 schedule displaying an aggressive defense, awesome rebounding and Jerry Fort's scoring, although the Huskers added balanced scoring to the effort. "Thft key would have to be our defensive effort," Cipriano said. "We forced them out of their offense. You can't shoot outside all day, so you have to go inside. Because of the constant pressure of our defense.we were able to keep them out." Only weeks before, at the Big 8 tournament in Kansas City, the Wildcats routed a weary Husker squad 80-63. Leading the spree was the combined 45 point scoring efforts of guards Chuckie Williams and freshman Mike Evans. The two once again combined for more than half of the K-State points Saturday, scoring 20 and 14 points respectively. Height handicaps "They have two good guards," Fort said. "Their offense was geared to the outside. They also fast-break well, but they're not a very tall team and our front line kept them off the boards so they couldn't run." The Huskers out-rebounded the Wildcats 41-26, while shooting 30 of 65 (46 per cent) from the floor compared to K-Stste's 27 out of 60 (45 per cent). Cipriano said the team showed signs of its 20 day lay-off, displaying cold shooting and making some mental errors in the contest's first ten minutes. "We didn't control the tempo of the game in the first half," he said. "However, we came back in the second half." Unanswered points Leading 30-28 at half time the Huskers opened the game up mid-way in the second half scoring 10 unanswered points to build 6349 lead with 7:03 left. Junior guard Steve Willis said the scoring spree started when K-State broke down under the defensive pressure. "They just quit hustling," he said. Sophomore forward Bob Siegel had one of his best first halves this season, Ciprianossaid. The 6 ft. 7 in. Fairbury native grabbed 13 rebounds and scored eight points by halftime. "Siegel has been coming around and came to play today" Cipriano said. "He really kept us alive -with his shooting, rebounding and defensive effort in the first half." Cipriano also expressed pleasure with the effort of center Larry Cox and subsitute forward Ricky Harris. Harris came off the bench in the second half to score 11 points and three rebounds. Siegel and Cox had 16 and 13 points respectively while Fort had a game high 20 points. o iv.
