Cyclone front line
could decide game
By Rob White
Senior Reporter
In order to beat Iowa State tonight,
Nebraska will have to stop the Cyclones'
forward duo of Jeff Grayer and Tom
Sehafer, Nebraska coach Danny Nee
said.
Unfortunately, that is easier said
than done.
Grayer and Sehafer scored 27 points
each in Iowa State's 91-75 victory in
Ames on Jan. 20.
"We have to control their two scor
ers, Grayer and Sehafer," Nee said at
his weekly press conference Monday.
"They can't go off and have 20-plus
point-nights like they did last time. As
they go, Iowa State goes."
Grayer, a 6-5 junior, and Sehafer, a
6-7 senior, will present matchup prob
lems for Nebraska.
"If we play man-to-man, we don't
physically matchup with them. If we
play zone, they have the ability to score
over it with Sehafer, and if we press
them, they have the ability to run
through the press," Nee said.
Those matchup problems were evi
dent in the first meeting between the
two teams earlier this year, Nee said.
"They manhandled us at Ames," he
said. "We couldn't press them because
they blew through the press. They con
trolled the backboards and they scored
at will inside and outside. We had a
tough time with them."
Grayer and Sehafer aren't the only
pf oblems that Iowa State will present,
however, since guard Jeff Hornacek
and Ron Virgil are the only starters lost
from 1st year's team which made the
round of 16 in the NCAA tournament.
Iowa State is 1 1-10 on the year, while
Nebraska is 13-8. The two teams are
tied for fifth place in the Big Eight at
3-5. .

Fifi teaiao to gather for Sevigne Invite
By Jeff Korbelik
Editor
Frank Sevigne would have been
proud.
The indoor track invitational he
started 1 1 years ago has blossomed into
one of the largest and most prestigious
indoor track meets in the nation. Two
years ago they renamed the Husker
Invitational to the Frank Sevigne
Husker Invitational in his memory.
Sevigne died two years ago from cancer.
This weekend about 50 men's and
women's teams and 500 athletes will
compete in this year's invitational.
Events will kick off at 6 p.m. Friday and
1 1 a.m. on Saturday at the Bob Devaney
Sports Center.
Mark Kostek, meet director and an
assistant track coach, said Sevigne
originally organized the meet to allow
his friends from the east and west
coasts to come in and compete. Over
the past four years, after the Huskers
combined the men's with the women,
the meet has increased in popularity,
Kostek said.
He attributes in increase to the
Husker's track and the invitational's
reputation.
Combine that with past history, past
world record performances and the
knowledge that "class" competition
will be there leaving the Huskers with
out any problems in attracting teams,
teams.
This year's list includes for the men:
Tennessee, Kansas State, Minnesota,
Kansas, Illinois, USC, Alabama, Missouri
and Iowa State.
The women's division includes four
of the top seven finishers in last year's
NCAA indoor championship meet: Ala
bama, last year's national champions,
USC, third place finishers, and Tennes
see, the fourth place finishers. Also
included are Kansas State, Wisconsin,
Missouri, Washington State and Brigham
Young.
Last year, 40 national qualifying
times were set plus one American
record. Kostek said spectators could
see just as many record breaking perfor
mances, especially after the addition of
more quality teams for this year.
