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.”

Women’s basketball team to play Missouri
The Nebraska women’s basket
