A pair of disappointing streaks will
be on the line when the Nebraska
men's basketball team faces Oklahoma
State Wednesday at the Bob Devaney
Sports Center.
The Cornhuskers must overcome
their Wednesday-night conference de
feats if they are to be serious contend
ers in this season's conference race,
said Coach Moe Iba
In four Wednesday-night conference
games this season, the Huskers have
lost three, won one. In three of those con
tests, Nebraska averaged just more
than 36 percent shooting.
"I really have no reason at all for the
way we have been playing on Wednes
day nights," Iba said. "It just seems we
play better on the road."
Iba said that trying to snap that
Wednesday night skid won't be easy
against the Cowboys, since they have
excellent athletes.
, "They're going to have a definite
height advantage with (7-4 center Alan)
Bannister," Iba said. "He's not the one
you have to worry about, though. It's
the rest of the people who have been
doing the scoring for them."
Despite the absence of all-Big Eight
center Dave Hoppen, Iba said that he
has no special plans to try and stop
Bannister.
Nebraska must just try and stop
Oklahoma State from lobbing the ball
inside to Bannister, he said.
"We got into a little trouble against
Missouri when we got too high on
(Tiger center) Dan Bingenheimer," he
said. "He was just catching the ball and
getting the easy basket. Fortunately,
we were able to make an adjustment at
halftime and take care of the problem."
Oklahoma State assistant coach
Weldon Drew said that the Cowboys,

now 12-9 overall and 3-5 in the confer
ence, haven't forgotten what happened
earlier this season when the Huskers
rallied for a 62-61 win against the
Cowboys.
Nebraska trailed 61-60 with only
three seconds left, but the Huskers'
Anthony Bailous hit a spinning jump
shot at the buzzer to give Nebraska the
victory.
"We gave that game away," Drew
said. "We always tell our players it isn't
over until it's over, and that was a defi
nite example."
Drew said the Cowboys won't change
their defensive strategy now that
Hoppen is out for the season with a knee
injury.
The Cowboys still have a lot of
respect for the Huskers, he said.
"Nebraska has got two excellent
athletes in Bernard Day and Harvey
Marshall," he said. "We're expecting a
very tough game because it's going to
be a contest between two teams who
both have great athletes."
