LINCOLN GYM AND FITNESS CENTER Lincoln's Premier Free Weight Gym NOW OPEN ( 2545 Randolph 435-1111 I Nebraska needs win By Mark Derowitsch Senior Reporter Nebraska guard Eric Johnson hopes the Comhusker men’s basket ball team can hold a breaking-out party Saturday. Johnson, a 6-foot-2 senior, said he’s confident the Huskers can break out of their three-game conference losing streak against No. S Missouri Saturday at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. “We’re looking at the rest of our conference games now,” Johnson said. “We’re 0-3, but I think we can come out of it. It all depends on how badly we want it.” Tip-oIT for the game is scheduled for 1:07 p.m. The game will be tele vised by Raycom (Channels 3 and 10 11). Johnson said the Huskers want and need a win badly right now. “As the season has gone on, we’re becoming a better team,’’ he said. “We’re just starting to understand that we need to do everything we can to win.” Nebraska coach Danny Nee said the Huskers can’t afford to make any mistakes against Missouri. “For Nebraska to be successful against them, we have to do every thing right and do it for 40 minutes,” Nee said. Nee said the Tigers, 17-3, are one of the best all-around teams in the country. The Tigers are led by Byron Irvin, a 6-6 guard from Chicago. Irvin, a senior, averages 21.1 points and 4.5 rebounds per game for Missouri. “That Irvin kid is just on fire,” Nec said. “He’s playing the best basketball of his career. He’s going to try to go out in a blaze of glory.” Missouri coach Norm Stewart said Irvin gives the Tigers a needed spark. “Byron’s a good competitor,” Stewart said. “He’s aggressive - a good competitor. When he’s not on his ball game, he’s going to find something that he can do and get it going most of the lime. And I think he looks for that.” But Nee said the two key players for the Tigers are forward MikeSand bolhe and reserve center Greg Church. Sandbothe averages 5.7 points and 5.5 rebounds per game, while Church has a 6.7 points-per gamc average. “Two players who I feel don t get any respect is Greg Church and Sand bothe,” Nee said. “They’re premiere role players. They do whatever it takes to win.” Nee said the Missouri program .and Coach Norm Stewart are under rated. “They’re just really solid,’’ he said. “Norm just never gets the credit he deserves. Year in and out, he puts a good basketball team on the floor.” But Nee isn’t ready to concede to the Tigers. “We look at it as a great opportu nity,” he said. “I think they’ll come in as a big favorite but I think they’ll come in ready to play. I just want us to play up to our potential.” Nebraska forward Dapreis Owens is airborne while complet ing a finger roll.
