Story compiled by Jeff Apel, think the Husker coaches will play him

Dave Hoppen, Nebraska's all-time
leading scorer, suffered ligament dam
age inside his left knee joint during the
Colorado game Saturday, and is appar
ently out for the season.
"It hurt me that Dave (Hoppen) had
gone this far without injury problems
and then gets his knee hurt," Nebraska
coach Moe Iba said. "We all hope his
leg will be corrected and will become
strong again."
Iba said that the loss of Hoppen will
drastically change how opponents
choose to defend the Huskers since
Nebraska will always be the smaller
team.
Iba also said Nebraska will begin
using players that haven't thus far seen
a lot of action this year in hopes of
supplementing the loss of Hoppen.
"The team has responded very well
to it (loss of Hoppen)," Iba said. "We
played well Saturday without him."
Cornhusker forward Bernard Day said
he didn't know what his new role would
be with the loss of Hoppen.
Day played the post position after
Hoppen initially injured his knee ten
minutes into the game against the
Buffaloes.
"I used to look forward to throwing
the ball into the big fellah," Day said.
"I came here to play with Hoppen."
Nebraska trainer Jack Nickolite said
that when Hoppen first injured his
knee, it appeared to be a minor injury.
"When Dave went down the first
time," Nickolite said, "he felt strong
afterwards. At halftime, the knee
appeared to be stable and we didn't
suspect any serious damage. But dur
ing the second half, it gave out on him."
Nickolite said that when a knee
gives out like Hoppen's did, it's a sign
of internal damage. He said Hoppen
apparently didn't have the strength the
coaches had thought when they sent
him in for the second half.
Hoppen is scheduled to have his
knee scoped Friday to find the extent
of the damage.
Reserve center Keith Neubert said
that he realizes the fesponsibilty which
will now fall on his shoulders.
Although Husker coaches are plan
ning to start Chris Logan in place of
Hoppen, Neubert said he knows he will
be called upon to substitute.
"We can use all the big people we
can get since Dave is gone," Neubert
said. "It's going to be a new experience
for me to face someone 6-7 rather than
seven foot in practice."
Neubert said that the team's outlook
for the rest of the season changed with
the loss of Hoppen.
Whenever a team loses a player of
Hoppen's caliber, Neubert said, it's
going to have an effect.
"It's going to be hard, but I'm going
to go in there and do the best job I
can," Neubert said. "I hope to do a
good job, but I also know that the
coaches will probably work the rest of
us in there (into the line-up). u
Scott Bullock, a redshirted freshman
from Fort Collins. Colo., said he doesn't r v.
"It's too late in the season to pull
out of the redshirt year," Bullock said.
"The coaches haven't given me any
hints, but there's always that possibility."
Iba said he didn't think this would
be the last people heard of Hoppen.
"I thought Dave had a good future,
and I still do," Iba said. "I think he'll
be able to come back. We'll all know a
lot more about it as the week goes
along."

Huskers defeat Colorado
in Iba's 100th victory
From staff and wire reports
Hot shooting from the field and a
record-setting free throw effort by
Nebraska spelled out a 77-60 victory
over Colorado Saturday at the Colo
rado EventsConference Center.
The win was Iba's 100th at Ne
braska. The Cornhuskers shot 59 percent
from the field and connected on 23
of 25 shots from the free-throw line.
"Our kids played well today,"
said Nebraska coach Moe Iba.
"We stayed aggressive on offense
and defense, did a good job off the
boards and everyone played well;"
But the performance was marred
when NU center Dave Hoppen injured
his left knee with 5:56 minutes
remaining in the first half.
Despite playing less than half the
game, Hoppen scored 12 points,
shooting 3 of 3 from the field and
sinking all six of his free-throw
attempts.
Nebraska led 42-33 at halftime
after shooting 71 percent from the
field. Guards Brian Carr and Harvey
Marshall contributed heavily to the
Huskers' first half success with
long-range shots. Carr led all scor
ers with a season-high 19 points.
Marshall added eight points.
"We couldn't stop them," Colo
rado coach Tom Apke said. "That's
the name of the game. They shot
better than 70 percent from the
field in the first half and set a Big
Eight record for consecutive free
throws during the game. We just
couldn't stop them."
Carr took control in the second
half, hitting three of four field goals
and dishing out a team-high of five
assists as the Huskers pulled away
for the final score.
The win improved the Huskers'
record to 3-3 in the Big Eight and
13-6 overall. Nebraska will play Wed
nesday at the Bob Devaney Sports
Center.
