The bad news frora last year
was that the Nebraska women's
basketball team finished six games
behind the conference leader
and had the second lowest con
ference finish among all Husker
sports.
The good news from last year
was that the team finished four
games above .500, placed one
player on the all-conference team
and notched a couple of road
upsets, despite the loss of an all
conference player midway
through the season.
The bad news for this season
is that the schedule is tougher.
The good news is that a recruit
ing class should fill some glaring
holes, and four-fifths of the star
ting line-up and a good share of
the bench is back."
Nebraska coach Kelly Hill, who
is now the official head coach
after serving on an interim basis
last season, will have Debra Po
well ( 1 8.7 points per game and a
first-team all-conference player),
and three-year starters Cathy
Owen and Terri Parriott to take
on a schedule that includes NCAA
runner-up Tennessee, National
Women's Invitational Tourna
ment champion Clemson
Big Ten powerhouse Minnesota.
But the big story this season
could be the recruiting of the
first blue-chip women's player

and was second in scoring at

USC graduate, said.
The Olympics gave us good
coverage, and it helped to have
charismatic personalities Cheryl
and the McGees," Hill said.
Even if women's basketball
crowds dont grow, more changes
will be made, Hill said. The NCAA
will switch to a smaller ball this ,
season that should cut down on
turnovers and increase the dos-
sibUity of dunk shots.
"We've been trying to get as
many of the small balls out to
our players as possible," Hill said.
"At the start, I'm afraid it might
cause more turnovers because
the players are going to be so
surprised at how easy it is to
handle."

be used in girls' high school
competition, have been availa-
