Unlike most of the teams the Huskers
have faced this season, Tubbs said, tha
Sooners do net have a special plan to
contain Hoppen, who scored 21 and 27
points against them last year.
"Our game pkn won't change much,"
Tubbs said. "We couldn't stop Dave
last yea:'. Ha pretty much did what ha
wanted .ait us.

"Wa (tha KGAA) fatl thij v,iU

said. "We f;!t that tha total amount of

"With the 8(Vgme maximum regu

"And, with the 60-game spring semes
ter limit, tha academic aspect of tha
problem also should b solved."

"Hoppen is a lot like Tisdale," Tubbs
said in a comparison of the conferen
ce's leading scorers. "The only ones
who can stop him are the zebras."
Tubbs said the Huskers will give
Oklahoma a frustrating game Wednes
day night.
"Nebraska always gives us fits,"
Tubbs said. "I think they're a better
ball club than they were last year.
They're quick and play really good
defense. You have to earn everything
you get against them."
The jumping ability of Husker for
ward Curtis Moore and Brian Coifs
playmaking are two of Tubbs' main
concerns when the 18-4 Sooners meet
the 13-6 Huskers.
"I caught a little bit of the Kansas
game cn TV the other night," Tubbs
said. "Carr knows how to cot the hdl
into the hands of the scorers and Moore
can really get up there. They were lucky
the basket was still hanging after he
dunked that one."
Tubhs said he is pleased with his
team's play so far in tha conference,
but added that could change. ..
"I always feel good about the games
behind us," Tubbs said "It's the ones
ahead of us that I don't feel good
