BOULDER, Colo. A three-point
play by Mike Martz at the end of the
first half gave the Cornhuskers the psy
chological edge they heeded to beat
Colorado 68-65, according to Nebraska
coach Danny Nee.
"I think the win was something spe
cial, but we had good play from a lot of
guys," Nee said after the Big Eight Con
ference win Saturday.
Bernard Day scored 19 points and
Henry Buchanan scored nine points in
the second half, including three free
throws in the final 30 seconds, to help
Nebraska edge Colorado.
Nee said he has sympathy for Colo
rado, which logged its eighth consecu
tive loss and its 25th straight defeat in
Big Eight Conference play.
"I feel sorry for Colorado. . .they just
can't seem to get a break." Nee said. "I
feel Colorado has the firepower and
discipline that's going to win them
some games down the road."
Colorado coach Tom Miller said his
players didn't play "hard enough, well
enough, for long enough."
"Our bench did a real good job,"
Miller said. "Brian (Robinson) ignited
us, Dave (Kuosman) did some good
jump shots and played well overall."
West dominates all-star game
By The Associated Press
SEATTLE Tom Chambers won
Most Valuable Player honors with 34
points and Rolando Blackman hit two
pressure free throws at the end of
regulation as the West beat the East
154-149 Sunday in the highest scoring
all-star game in NBA history.
""Blackman had 29 points for the
West, which had lost the previous three
overtime games in the 37-year history of
the game.
Blackman scored four points in
overtime, including the opening basket
that gave the West the lead to stay at
142-140. Chambers had four points in
the overtime for the West, which still
trails in the series 24-13.
The East's 154-145 overtime victory
in 1984 at Denver was the previous
highest scoring game. The West's 154
points tied the 1984 total for the most
points by one team.
Blackman, who scored 10 points in
the fourth quarter, hit two free throws
with no time left in regulation to force
the overtime.

Both teams traded baskets in the
game's final 7:30 after being tied 53-53.
Robinson hit six points down the stretch
for the Buffaloes, but Buchanan's free
throws and four points from Day were
enough for the Huskers, who raised
their record to 3-5 in the Big Eight and
13-8 overall.
With Nebraska leading 67-65 after
two Buchanan free throws with 30
seconds remaining, Colorado had a
chance to tie the game. But Scott Wilke
missed a short jump shot from the
baseline with 10 seconds remaining.
Buchanan sank one more free throw
to give the Huskers a 68-65 lead. Jeff
Penix's three-point attempt at the
buzzer' bounced off the rim.
Nebraska scored the game's first
seven points, but Colorado battled
back and gained a three-point lead,
12-9, with 10:34 left in the first half. The
Huskers regained a seven-point lead
with 2:1 1 left in the first half after two
Brian Carr free throws, but four points
each by Matt Bullard and Robinson tied
the game, 24-24 with 1:46 left in the
half.
Nebraska's full-court press forced
Colorado turnovers and, together with
three quick fouls on Robinson, the
Huskers scored nine straight points to
end the half with a 33-24 lead.
1 40-1 38 lead with three seconds left on
a tip-in of a missed shot by Kevin
McHale.
The East seemingly had a safe lead
at 128-116 with 5:40 left, but the West
rallied as Chambers scored 10 points in
3:07 to cut the deficit to 136-135 with
2:01 remaining. Chambers had 14 points
in the fourth period.
Malone led the East with 27 points
and 18 rebounds. He also helped the
East foul out West starting center
Akeem Olajuwan, who went to the
bench in the first minute of overtime to
become the first all-star since 1978 to
be called for six personal fouls and only
the second since 1971 tofoul out.
James Worthy had 22 points for the
West and Julius Erving 22 for the East
in the 16th and final all-star game of his
professional career. He played in five
American Basketball Association All
Star games before moving to the NBA
for 1 1 more, all as a starter.
Erving put himself into position as a
possible MVP when he scored nine
points in a four-minute span of the
third quarter, keying a 42-point period
that almost carried the East to victory.

Nebraska's Heidi Hecker completes a three-meter dive in a dual

Women swim to win after
By Jeff Apel
Staff Reporter
A potentially bad situation
couldn't have worked out any better
for the Nebraska women's swimming
team.
Cornhusker women's swimming
coach Ray Huppert said he realized
just before the start of Saturday's
Nebraska-Arkansas dual that he had
left the Husker swimming lineup
hanging in the Razorback locker
room.
Huppert said that mistake in
creased the challenge Nebraska was
already facing because Arkansas
could adjust its swimming lineup in
an attempt to attack Nebraska's
weaknesses.
But Nebraska managed to over
come the lineup disadvantage with
two NCAA qualifying marks by diver
Heidi Hecker and a well-balanced
scoring attack to defeat the Razor
backs 71-43 at the Bob Devaney
Sports Center.
NU swimmers improve record
By Tim Hartmann
Senior Reporter
Both the Nebraska and Arkansas
men's swimming teams competed with
out a number of their top performers in
Saturday's meet at the Bob Devaney
Sports Center. But both coaches were
pleased with their teams' performances.
The Cornhuskers, No. 16 in the
country and now 7-1 this season,
defeated the No. 18 Razorbacks 1 18-97.
The loss dropped Arkansas' record to
7-3.
Nebraska competed without Mike
Irvin, the Big Eight swimmer of the year
last season as a freshman, who was
competing in Europe with the U.S.
national team.
Nebraska coach Cal Bentz said the
team knew that Irvin would be gone
and that they would have to make up
for his absence.
"We knew when we gave Mike per
mission to go to Europe we'd have to
swim Arkansas without him," Bentz
said, "and we knew we'd have to
tighten our belts."
Nebraska was paced by Jaco Kruger,
a freshman from Pretoria, South Africa,
who had first-place finishes in the 500
yard freestyle and the 1,000-yard free
style. First-place finishes also were turned
in by Dan Novinski in the 200-yard
freestyle, Tom Stus in the 200 individual
medley, Jim Fellows in the 200-yard
butterfly, Ed Jowdy in the 200-yard
backstroke and Sean Frampton in the
200-yard breaststroke.
Several Nebraska divers registered
"I'm very happy. I challenged the
girls mote than I wanted to challenge
them for this meet, but they
responded," Huppert said. "We had
to swim tough all the way to win this
meet because Arkansas has some
good kids."
Huppert said he was pleased with
the performances of Hecker, Shauna
Gilmore and the 400-yard freestyle
relay team of Laura Pratt, Dana
Powers, Lorie Kappenman and Gil
more. While Gilmore was finishing
, second to highly regarded Cheryl
McCarton in the 200-yard freestyle.
Huppert said the Cornhuskers' 400
treestyle relay team's time of 3:32.22
was the fastest mark they had posted
this season in nylon swimsuits.
"That's extremely encouraging,"
Huppert said.
Huppert said he was also encour
aged because Nebraska managed to
win its seventh-consecutive dual,
despite not having competed in two
NCAA qualifying marks on Saturday.
Eric Ognibene won the one- and three
meter diving competitions and had
NCAA qualifying marks in both events.
Two other Huskers, Wes Zimmerman
and Alvin Spencer, had qualifying marks
in the one-meter event.
Arkansas was forced to compete
without two team members. Peter Ward,
an NCAA qualifying swimmer, missed
the meet because thick fog delayed his
plane, and diver Brian Walker had a
broken nose.
Arkansas coach Kent Kirchner said

Huppert said he was concerned
about the long layoff because the
Huskers lost the repetition they
were used to encountering.
"I don't know if we will do that
again next year," Huppert said.
Nebraska's Carole Johnson started'
the meet for the Huskers by winning
the 100-yard backstroke. Then vic
tories by Powers in the 100-yard
backstroke and Lee Pennefather in
the 100-yard butterfly gave Nebraska
an early lead.
A victory by Arkansas' Karen
Groeff in the J, 650-yard freestyle
and consecutive victories by McCar
ton and Nancy Duncan brought the
Razorbacks back, but Nebraska went
on to win eight of the meet's next 10
events to raise its record to 9-3.
"We were real solid dowri the
line," Huppert said. "I'm a little
disappointed that we lost a number
of races at the finish, but we still
swam fast."
the loss of his two swimmers and the
Nebraska's loss of Irvin probably evened
out, but said he would have liked to
have used the two.
"It might have made a difference,"
he said.
Overall, though, Kirchner was pleased
with the way his team swam and said
he thought this meet will benefit both
teams.
"We swam well, we raced well,"
Kirchner said. "It was a good meet. It
will help us, and it will help them down
the road."
