The victory was the sixth straight on the road for the Huskers and their ninth victory in 11 road appearances this year. The win also pushed the Huskex's Big 8 Confer ence record to 6-1 and kept them tied with Missouri Uni versity for first place. UNL is 15-5 overall. ISU was without the services of top scorer Hercle Ivy. Ivy, who missed the game because of a groin injury, is averaging 24.1 points a game. "I was very surprised Ivy didn't play," Husker head coach Joe Cipriano said. "But they (ISU) can pull that surprise anytime they want." Even without Ivy the Cyclones came back from an 1 1-4 deficit to tie the game at 20-20 with 4:48 left in the first half. Behind baskets by guards Julian Butler and Roman Butkus, ISU took a 28-25 halftime lead. "We didn't handle the ball well the first half," Cipriano nebraskan said. "We held the ball on offense and wouldn't pass to the open man." , "We weren't ready to play the first half," Siegel said. "We came out the second half ready to play. We didn't want everything (Husker hopes for a Big 8 title) to go .down the drain in Ames." ; ; v H ' The Huskers opened up the second half with three , straight baskets, taking the' lead for good at 29-28 on a layup by Allen Holder with 19:16 left. They opened up the biggest lead of the game at 53-40 when Siegel hit a shot from the corner with 9:24 left. After that, the closest the Cyclones could come was seven points. ,,' "We played good defense the second half," Cipriano said. "I think that Allen Holder did a good job defensively on Art Johnson. Jerry Fort gave us the tempo we needed in the game, and Siegel hit some clutch outside baskets." Johnson paced the Cyclones with 18 points and 15 re bounds, but he hit just nine of 22 shots. Siegel and Larry Cox took scoring honors for the Huskers with 17 points apiece followed by Fort with 16 and Steve Willis with eight. Siegel, a 6 ft. 7 in. junior from Fairbury, hit seven of 11 shots from the field and three of four from the line, while Cox, a 6 ft. 6 in. senior from Denver, hit six of seven from the field and five of eight free throws. Several of Cox's baskets came on fast breaks. "I didn't think they would get back too quick on de fense," Cox said. "Usually a team that gets down the court fast on offense doesn't get back too quick on de fense. I was just afraid we might get running with them too much." The Huskers outrebounded the Cyclones 42-40. Siegel led Husker rebounders with 10, Cox and Holder had nine apiece and Fort had seven. The Husker's next game is Wednesday night when they travel to Norman, Okla., to take on Oklahoma University.
