Oklahoma won the Great Alaska Shootout, and

End Arkansas State. Kansas had opponents on
their schedule such as Kentucky, Oral Roberts
and Florida.
Nebraska athletic director Deb Dcvaney said
Nebraska plays as good of a schedule as anyone.
"Coaches try to schedule fjrrnrs which will test
the players, but they try to schedule games which
will give the coaches the chance to evaluate the
younger players Devaney said.
This season, Nebraska haa a non-conference
schedule which will include Southern Colorado,
Wyoming, Wisconsin, and Washington. Oklaho
ma,the consensus favorite in the Big Eiht plays a
non-conference schedule which includes Illinois,
Tulsa, SMU and Loubvilie. Kansas, the tourna
ment champion plays a non-conference schedule
which includes Houston, Kentucky, SMU and
Wichita St.
Kansas basketball coach Larry Brown said it

"We try to make a schedule which will first, give
us national exposure; second, give the Kansas
fans the chance to see good basketball; and third,
prepare ourselves for the Big Eight schedule,"
Brown said.

Basketball Weekly editor Matt Marsol said as
the competition of the Big Eight increases, the
schedules will also increase in difficulty.
"Up until 3 or 4 years ago, the Big Eight teams
haven't been very strong," Marsol said. "Now a
team like Colorado cannot be taken lightly."
Marsol rated the Big East Conference, the
Atlantic Coast Conference, the Southeastern Con
ference, and the Big Ten Conference above the Big
Eight in terms of difficulty.
"A team such as Georgetown, or a UCLA would
have nothing to gain by coming into the Midwest,"
Marsol said. Teams in the midwest ask for a
return game with the opponent. Most top teams
do not like to make the commitment to come into
the midwest."
Marsol said a top team would lose money by
coming to the Midwest.
"The expenses would outweigh the payoffs,"
Marsol said.

Good, ' solid' returners
ead last-place Cowboys
By Mike George
Daily Nebraskaa Stiff Reporter
Jan. 19 at Stillwater
Feb. 9 in Lincoln
The Oklahoma State Cowboys
must improve on a 13-15 overall
record, 5-9 in the Big Eight, and a
tie for last place in the conference
standings.
Many preseason polls pick the
Cowboys to finish last in the con
ference this season.
"I can't understand why weVe
been picked to finish last," Cowboy
Coach Paul Hansen said. "WeVe
got good, solid people returning."
The Cowboys return three star
ters of a year ago.
The Cowboys will run a one
guard offense. Win Case, a 5-10
senior from Tulsa, Okla., will
operate as the lone guard. Case
averaged 8.5 points per game,
and dished out 115 assists per
game which was second for the
Cowboys.
The Cowboys will use three
forwards for their offense. Charles
Williams will return to the starting
lineup. Williams, a 6-8 senior
averaged 9.4 points per game,
and averaged 3.7 rebounds for
the Cowboys.
Two newcomers will assume
starting roles for the Cowboys.
Ray Alford, a 6-5 junior transfer
from Wewoka, Okla., averaged 16.7
points per game at Seminole
Junior College, and averaged 9.3
rebounds per game.
Terry Faggins will join Alford
as a new forward. Alford, a 6-5
junior from Pampa, Texas, aver
aged 23.3 points per game at Carl
Albert Junior College while aver
aging over 10 rebounds a game.
Ail-Big Eight selection Joe
Atkinson will return to the Cow
boy starting five. The Cowboys do
not use a true center, but
Atkinson assumes most of the
center's responsibilities. Atkinson
a 6-7 junior from Coyle, Okla.,
averaged 18 points a game, while
snaring over 7 rebounds per game.
Atkinson led the Cowboys in both
scoring and rebounding.
Bill Self and Shawn Baker will
assume backup roles. Self, a 6-3
senior from Edmond, Okla., will
have to be on the bench at the
start of the season. Self averaged
8.2 points per game and dished
out 126 assists, a team high.
Baker, a 6-10 sophomore from
Tulsa, Okla., maybe the Cowboys
true big man. Hansen said his
progress b being evaluated over
the off season, and his outlook
shows promise.
Hansen said the Cowboy's
strength will 'be the experience
returning to the squad. Five
players have either started full
time, or have seen some part
time starting roies. Also, five
players return to reserve roles for
the Cowboys and have averaged
playing in 21 games between
them.
Hansen said the weakness may
be the lack of a true big man.
Hansen said he hopes to offset
this disadvantage with overall
team speed.
Hansen said the Cowboys'
record is deceiving. Many of the
losses were last-second defeats
for the Cowboys. The Cowboys
were leading most of the way last
season against Nebraska in
Lincoln, but ended with a two
point loss.
The Cowboys' success in con
ference play didnt improve much.
They traveled to Ames to face the
Iowa State Cyclones, and after
leading most of the way, took a
four-point loss in the final minute.
