Huskers defeat Jayhawks in Big Eight opener
By Boh Asmussen ami Pat Higgins
Don't be surprised if the Kansas Jayhawks try to fina
gle their way out of their next scheduled appearance at
the Bob Dcvaney Sports Center.
The reason? Nebraska, behind a well balanced scoring
effort, defeated the Jayhawks 75-55 Wednesday.
"It's not this place," said Jayhawk coach Ted Owens.
"We can't continue to come up here and spot them seven
or eight points because that makes it their game."
The Jayhawks were in the hole from the beginning.
Ilandy Johnson hit a 20-foot jumper to give the lluskers
a quick 7-2 lead.
After Kansas closed to within two the lluskers put on
another spurt to go up 19-(. The lluskers, however, were
unable to completely bury the Jayhawks.
"We got up eight to ten points then really took some
bad shots," Nebraska coach Moc Iba said.
The lluskers continued to build their lead going up
36-23 at halftime.
"A 13 point lead against them is a good lead but not
the way were playing," Iba siad.
Tight coverage by Ray Collins held David Magley to no
points in the first half. Magley entered the game as the
Big Might's second leading scorer. He was 0 for 6 from the
field in the first half.
"I don't think Magley was looking for the shot," Col
lins said. "I think the crowd had something to do with it."
"I didn't think we could defense them," Iba said. "I
didn't know if we could cover Guy and Magley."
Kansas as a team shot a pathetic 26 percent from the
field in the first half. They shot only 35 percent for the
game.
"Nebraska did a good job on us but that was no sur
prise," Owen said. "We did not take good percentage
shots."
The lluskers continued to roll in the second half. Kan
sas closed to within 10 at S:37 in the second half but
never nt :inv closer. Hack to back fast break dunks by
Claude Renfro and Jerry Shoecraft gave the lluskers a
5945 lead. The lluskers were never seriously threatened
through the remainder of the game.
"I thought Claude and Jerry came in and played hard,"
IbaRSaydCoilins led the lluskers with 16 points. Claude
Renfro had 13 and Jack Moore contributed 12. Shoe
craft came off the bench to pull down a game high, 11
rebounds.
"I think I'm playing the best ball I've ever played
here," Shoecraft said. "I was excited because I've never
done too well against the Big Might schools."
Kansas had three players in double figures led by Kelly
Knight's 13 points. All-American candidate Tony Guy hit
only four of 18 shots.
"That's the easiest time we've had against Kansas in a
long time," Iba said.
Rimington to stay at UNL
Nebraska center Dave Rimington an
nounced Tuesday that he will finish out his
football eligibility at UNL.
Earlier, Rimington had indicated he
might pass up his final year at Nebraska to
play in the National Football League. To
turn professional, Rimington would have
had to complete 40 credit hours by the
time training camps open in July, or re
ceived a special waiver from the NFL.
"Our coaches have been honest with me
about my options and I feel that this is the
best decision for me. Right now, all I want
to worry about is coming back and having
a great year next year. 1 want to get that
national title before I leave," Rimington
said in a prepared release from the UNL
Sports Information Office.
Husker Coach Tom Osborne is away on
a recruiting trip but was also quoted on the
release.
"Obviously, we're glad to have Dave
stay. I know that I speak for the entire
staff when I say that we are glad to have
Dave with us again next season," Osborne
said.
Women cagers play tonight
By Ward W. Triplet! Hi
After snapping a four-game losing streak
against Arizona, the Nebraska women's
basketball team will open play in the Big
Light tournament tonight at 6 p.m. against
Oklahoma State in Manhattan, Kan.
The lluskers will take a 6-7 record into
the tournament that will determine the Big
Light's representative in the NCAA tourna
ment in March.
"It seems like a very balanced year in
the Big Eight," Nebraska coach Colleen
Matsuhara said. "It will probably be one of
the more balanced tournaments t he Big
Eight has ever had."
For the first time in the tournament's
three-year history, one team does not fig
ure to dominate. Kansas has won all three
previous tournaments, and although the
Jayhawks are rated in the top 20 again this
season, the Kansas State Wildcats are the
tournament favorite. Nebraska is predicted
to finish sixth.
"We would like to go in as an underdog
and sneak up on everybody." Matsuhara
said, adding that her team, like four others,
shouldn't be ruled out. One of those is to
night's opponent, Oklahoma State, whose
14-2 record is the second best among the
conference schools.
"I anticipate a close game with them.
Twice last year wc went right down to the
wire with them, and this game could be a
tossup as well. It all depends on how well
we can box out and rebound with them,"
Matsuhara said.
The Cowgirls are led by junior college
transfer Rose Aldredge whose 17.9 points
per game average is among the Big Eight's
best. Matsuhara said the lluskers will have
to prevent Aldredge from going one-on-one
with the Nebraska defenders.
"We've been practicing some new op
tions on offense and against presses be
cause I hear Oklahoma State is heavy on
pressure defense," Matsuhara said.
"We've worked a lot on our press and
stealing the ball because we're going to
need to do that a lot, being the smallest
team in the Big Eight," Matsuhara said.
Matsuhara said it wasn't her idea to play
for the NCAA bid this eaily in the year,
and was strongly opposed to the early date.
"Here you are just getting through the
pre-season. and suddenly you have to play
for a tournament bid," she said.
"The tournament winner here could fall
flat on their face the rest of the season,
you never know. I had voted for a tourna
ment at the end of the season, some time
in March, but I got out-voted," Matsuhara
said.
