NU football ticket lottery in progress By Mike Kluck Staff Reporter Students who wish to purchase 1988 season football tickets will be able to draw a lottery number March 28 through April 1, associate ticket manager Joe Selig said.

Sclig said the athletic department hopes to have a good distribution of tickets throughout the week. “My suggestion to students is to come earlier in the week so they may not have to wait in lines as long,” Selig said. “In the past, many stu dents and groups have wailed to come in until Friday afternoon.” Sclig said students will draw lot tery numbers when they turn in their application. He said lickctordcrs will be filled from the largest lottery number to the smallest. “One person can bring in up to 100 students’ applications,” Sclig said. “It is important for students to be aware that all checks in the group have to match the application or the correct change needs to be attached.” Ticket applications are available at the South Stadium Ticket Office, Administration Building 110 — Stu dent Accounts and the East Union information desk. Sclig said he expects to fill 6,000 applications through the lottery proc ess. He said any student who misses the lottery deadline may apply for a ticket through 4 p.m. Aug. 23. This year’s Nebraska home schedule includes games against Utah State, Arizona State, Nevada Las Vegas, Oklahoma State, Mis souri and Colorado. Nee: Loss to ISU threefold; little things become significant By Mark Derowitsch Senior Reporter Three areas separated a win from a loss in Saturday’s game against Iowa State, Nebraska basketball coach Danny Nee said Monday. Nee said at his weekly press con ference that Nebraska dropped an 85 84 decision to Iowa State because the Com huskers were unable to concen trate on “little things.” “I think the players know when they’re playing well or when they haven’t,” Nee said. “There was just a couple ot little things that became significant.” Nee said the differences between the Huskers and Iowa State were free-throw shooting, rebounding and offensive fouls. The Huskers connected on 18 of 28 free throws, compared to Iowa State’s 33 of 40. The Cyclones also pulled down 14 offensive rebounds, and Nebraska turned over the ball six times because of offensive fouls. “If there was a little more concen tration — because those are funda mental parts of the game, we did a lot of things right,” Nee said. “Overall, we did enough things to be successful or to be in the game.” Nee said one bright spot in Saturday’s game was reserve center Rich van Poclgecst. Van Poelgeest, a 6-foot-9 sophomore, scored a career high 19 points and grabbed a team high six rebounds in 19 minutes of action. He hiteightof nine shots from the field and three of five shots from the free-throw line? “I think it’s a great confidence builder for van Poclgeest,” Nee said, “and I think it shows he’s getting better. I hope it’s a steppingstone.” Nee said van Poclgeest has im proved because he is being more active on the court. “ He ’ s real 1 y reac tin g more arou nd the basket,” Nee said. “He’s making some of those easy shots he missed earlier in the year. But he’s active rebounding and on defense. “He’s pretty sound fundamen tally. His footwork is solid, and he has a basic understanding of the game.” But Nee said van Poclgeest hasn’t always played well this season. He said his practice habits have im proved as well as his game. “It reached a point where the other big guys were playing better than he was and he lost some playing time,” Nee said. “He went into a slump and he earned his way out of it. And this is a result — all of a sudden, one night, he puts it all together. It’s very pleasing to me.” Nee said the emergence of van Poclgeest and the improvement of freshman Rich King and junior Pete Manning could open up the middle for forward Derrick Vick. Vick, a senior from Chicago, averages 11.6 points per game. “Any activity scoring inside will help the rest of the team,” Nee said. The Pool Is Open! The Big Red Pool Room, that is.
