By Jeff Apel
Staff Reporter
Dave Hoppen jumped for joy when he
first learned he had been named first
team Ml-American by Playboy maga
zine. Hoppen, Nebraska's 6-1 1 center, said
he felt particulary honored by the
award since he was the only player
chosen west of the Mississippi.
"I was surprised to be named a first
team All-American by Playboy but at
the same time I was really honored by
it," he said. "I guess I'll have to just go
out and live up to it this year."
If Hoppen's past performances are
any indication, the senior from Omaha
Benson High School should have no
problems living up to his early pre
season expectations. Not only is he
entering this season as Nebraska's
number two, all-time leading scorer
behind Jerry Fort, but also is 12th on
the all-time Big Eight conference scor
ing list with 1,747 points.
Last season, Hoppen led the Corn
huskers in six different categories
while averaging more than 23 points a
game and earning unanimous All-Big
Eight honors by both the Associated
Press and United Press International.
'Versatility 'is Imming 's middle name

Contributing whatever she can to
help the Nebraska women's basketball
team to a winning season is one of
Stacy Imming's goals this year.
"I'll do what I have to to win whether
it's shooting or passing," she said.
Imming, a junior from Kearney, is a
three-year starter for the Cornhuskers.
A highly recruited athlete, she choose

Hoppen also made his junior season
at Nebraska a worthy one by setting six
Nebraska basketball records and being
named to the academic all-Big Eight
team with a 3.1 grade point average in
business administration.
Hoppen said he didn't even begin to
realize he had a solid chance of becom
ing Nebraska's first Ail-American in
basketball until the end of his junior
season.
He said his chances of becoming an
all-American have been greatly en
hanced by the fact that Georgetown's
Patrick Ewing is now graduated and
that both Benoit Benjamin and Wayman
Tisdale elected not to return to their
senior seasons at Creighton and Okla
homa. Although Nebraska usually came out
on the short end as a team, Hoppen's
enthusiasm for facing Oklahoma and
Tisdale is apparent as he averaged 20.5
points per game each time he faced the
three-time all-American.
Against Benjamin and the Creighton
Bluejays, Hoppen also averaged more
than 20 ponts per game while outscor
ing the first-round draft pick of the San
Diego Clippers by a 89-73 margin in
four games.
"Seeing those guys play in the NBA
Nebraska over schools such as Creigh
ton, the University of Nevada at Las
Vegas and Washington.
Making the transition to college and
to playing Division 1 basketball wasn't
easy.

definitely gives me confidence that I
can play in the NBA," Hoppen said.
"Wayman (Tisdale) isn't doing that
great right now and neither is Benoit
(Benjamin), so I know that going to the
NBA is not going to be easy."
Before Hoppen can become a bona
fide NBA player, Nebraska basketball
coach Moe Iba said, he must improve
on both his offensive rebounding and
his defense.
"For a big man, Dave has got good
running ability, great hands and he has
got a soft shooting touch," Iba said. "If
he can improve both his offensive
rebounding and his defense, he would
be a very complete player who could
become very successful in the NBA.
For now, Hoppen said, he would
rather worry abvout his final season at
Nebraska rather than the future.
Although a professional basketball
career remains on the back of his mind,
he said he would just as soon think
about the team rather than himself.
"I would trade wins for points and
personal success any time," Hoppen
said. "I'd like to one day play for the
Boston Celtics, but all of that is on hold
right now because I want to make my
last season in college my best."
for her. She was overwhelmed by the
pressures and time commitments of
basketball, but she quickly adjusted.
By the end of the season she was start
ing for us."
With no seniors on the team, Im
ming's experience and leadership are
important. Besides her scoring, passing
and defense abilities, Imming said her
experience will play the most important
role this year.
"I think I've got a good hand, of
course I make mistakes like everyone,
but I know what's going on. I can
direct," she said. "I'll do as much as I
can to help the younger players and
help them fit in."
Hill said Imming is a leader and
catalyst for the team.
"Her enthusiasm, energy and sup
port are integral to our success," Hill
said. "She's deceptive. She looks aver
age. Stacy has good court sense, she
makes the most of her abilities. She
has tremendous verstility. She could
play anywhere for us except post. She's
a consistent player and gives her best
every time," Hill said.
The team is hoping to improve on
last year's 10-18 record and Imming
believes Nebraska will finish in the top
three or four in the conference.
"I think our quickness is our biggest
strength, our ability to fastbreak. Some
times we live or die by the fastbreak,"
Imming said.
Imming credits the coaches, Hill
and Mavis Washington, for the team's
cohesiveness.
While she loves playing basketball
for Nebraska, Imming said she has no
desire to keep playing after college.
