AP reveals All-Big Eight basketball team
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - A
high-scoring center, a defensive stal
wart and one of college basketball’s
great free-throw shooters populate
the first unit of the 1988-89 Associ
ated Press All-Big Eight team.
There are no repeaters from the
1987-88 squad. That squad included
five seniors who all became early
first-round draft choices of the Na
tional Basketball Association.
“People who thought the Big
Eight was going to suffer a let-down
this year should take a look at the top
players we have this season,” Iowa
State Coach Johnny Orr said. “With
the possible exception of Colorado,
every team has gotten better this year,
I believe. We may not have a lot of
well-established players, but there’s
a pool of very talented young players
coming up in the Big Eight. ’
Oklahoma center Stacey King and
guard Mookic Blaylock, the top two
scorers in the Big Eight, and Missouri
guard Byron Irvin were unanimous
choices as decided by a panel of
sports Meters and sportscasters who
regularly cover the conference. Miss
ing unanimous selection by one bal
lot was Kansas State junior Steve
Henson, who could be on the verge of
leading the nation in free-throw accu
racy for the second consecutive year.
Joining them on the first team is
Victor Alexander, Iowa State’s
sophomore center whose rise coin
cided with the Cyclones’ latc-scason
surge.
King, a 6-foot-ll senior, led the
Big Eight while averaging 26.2
points and 10.4 rebounds per
game. King set a record at Las Vegas
with a 48-point outburst that
prompted Rebels coach Jerry Tar
kanian to proclaim him the best of
fensive center in the country.
“We had to go to a zone because
we couldn't guard him,” Tarkanian
said. “We didn’t have anybody big
enough or strong enough to handle
him. I’m just glad he’s graduating.”
Blaylock’s using up all his eligi
bility is also good news for opposing
coaches because the 6-2 senior guard
has made his mark as one of the
greatest defensive players in Big
Eight history. While averaging more
than 20 points and four rebounds this
year, Blaylock compiled 208 assists
and 117 steals. It’s the second straight
year the native of Garland, Texas, has
piled up more than 200 assists and
100 steals, and he’s the only player in
NCAA history to do so.
Henson may be only the fourth
man in the history of Division I bas
ketball to lead the nation in free
throw shooting two consecutive
years. As a sophomore, the 6-1 Kan
sas native led the nation in free-throw
accuracy with a percentage of 92.5.
Then over the off-season he honed his
touch to an even sharper edge, and
goes into the Big Eight Tournament
this week with a nation-leading 93.09
average.
If Henson wins a second free
throw crown, he would be in position
next season to become the only man
ever to win it three years running.
“We’ve asked him to do so many
things, it’s almost unfair,” Kansas
State Coach Lon Kruger said.
“We’re asking him to give us offense
and defense, be a leader on the floor,
score points. But he’s battled through
it and stepped up there every night.”
Oklahoma coach Billy Tubbs said
he is also impressed with Henson.
“I’d say if you had Mookic Blay
lock and Steve Henson on the same
team you'd have the best two guards
in the country,” Tubbs said.
Henson averaged 18.2 points and
had 130 assists for the Wildcats.
Irvin, the other senior on the first
team, is a 6-6 guard for a Missouri
team whose season was rocked by the
illness of 22-year coach Norm Ste
wart. Stewart’s cancer surgery last
month left assistant coach Rich Daly
in charge, and the Tigers finished
runner-up to Oklahoma in the regular
sSKon race and ranked 10th in the
nation. Irvin averaged 19.6 points
and almost five rebounds while hit
ting 55 percent of his shots frem the
field.
“He’s a tremendous player,”
Tubbs said. “Byron Irvin is one of
those rare players who can do just
about anything - score, rebound, run
the floor.”
A pulled groin muscle could side
line Irvin in this weekend’s Big Eight
Tournament.
“Byron is a scorer who also plays
defense and rebounds,” Daly said.
“You’re talking about a guy who
docs three things very well.”
Alexander is one of the most
pleasant surprises of Orr’s long
coaching career. Big and bulky, he
was going to ease into action this
year. But injuries forced Orr to start
using his sophomore full time, and he
responded by averaging 19.6 points
and 8.7 rebounds and keying a late
push that has the Cyclones hoping for
an NCAA bid.
“We started out hoping to play
him 10 or 12 minutes, then take him
out 5-6 minutes, and then put him
back in,” Orr said. But he’s been
averaging about 38 minutes a game.
He’s shown great stamina and the
ability to really do the job.”
Heading the second team is Rich
ard Dumas, a 6-7 sophomore for
Oklahoma Stale who averaged al
most 16 points and eight rebounds.
Also on the second unit are Kevin
mtcnara, 0-4, ana ivmi rsewton, 0-3,
of Ihc reigning NCAA champion
Kansas Jayhawks; Fred McCoy, 6-7,
of Kansas Stale, and Shaun Vandiver,
a 6-10 sophomore who provided last
place Colorado with one of the few
bright spots in an otherwise demoral
izing season. Vandiver, a transfer
from Hutchinson (Kan.) Junior Col
lege, averaged 18.3 points and 10.3
rebounds, the only player in the
league besides King to have double
figures in both categories. He also led
Colorado in 10 statistical categories.
Sander pleased
at the overall play
NEBRASKA From Page 17
with four.
Ramos also had a big day at the
plate, going 2 for 3 during each game.
“I got quite a few hits today,”
Ramos said. “They were falling.”
Ramos said he was also impressed
with the team’s play, considering that
it was the first lime the team has
played outside in weeks.
“It’s just going to take some time
to gel used to the outdoors again,”
Ramos said.
Today Nebraska plays the Univer
sity of Northern Iowa in another
double header.
Doug Tcgtmcicr and Tim Smith
are scheduled to be the starting pitch
ers for Nebraska. Action begins at 1
p.m. at Buck Bcltzcr Field.
