Men gymnasts win title, lose athletes
The Nebraska men’s gymnastics team’s team title at tire Big Eight
Invitational proved to be a costly one, as two Huskers suffered mjunes.
Nebraska coach Francis Allen said Trent Dimas and Josh baeg
both suffered injuries during last weekend’s title meet at tne dpo _
Center that could keep them out until January Dimas suffered a puuea
muscle in his neck, while Saegert underwent surgery after breaking a
knuckle in his hand. . . . ^
Despite the injuries, Nebraska still easily captured the team title in
its season-opening competition. The Huskers scored 27~ points, while
Oklahoma finished second with 264.90. .. _
Iowa State was third with an average of 257.10, and Air Force was
fourth with 250. „ ... ... , ^ fll,.
“I was pretty happy that we scored as well as we did without a tun
team,” he said. ‘‘Those two injuries could have cost us a lot ot points,
but we won anyway.”

Nee said he thought stress began to
take its toll on the Athletes in Action
in the second half. The Athletes in
Action were playing their 11 th game
in 13 days.
“Athletes in Action was a little off
their game,” he said. “Once fatigue
set in, it was just a matter of time. You
can see they’ve played a lot of games.
“When we got any leads or any
spurts, I simply saw fatigue on their
part.’’
Husker coaches added to the Ath
letes in Action’s problems by using
reserve players more frequently than
they did against the Brisbane Bullets,
whom Nebraska played last week.
Nebraska’s reserves combined for
38 points and 21 rebounds. Guard
Chris Cresswcl! and forward Ray
Richardson scored 17 and 10 points,
respectively.
4 4 We played more people because
more people practiced harder during
the week,” Nee said.
Nee said he was pleased with the
improvements and progress he saw in
practice during the week.
‘‘Ifcltwe got better,” he said. ‘‘A
lot of guys got over the jitters. Other
guys might still have them, but I think
we’re going in the right direction.”
Nee said Nebraska looked ready
for its Saturday season opener against
Missouri-Kansas City.
‘‘The two exhibitions really
helped,” he said. “With Thanksgiv
ing, we’ve got four days to get ready,
so 1 think we’ll be OK.”

those victories, if one can get a true
sense of anything from those
matches.
To borrow a term several players
have said this season, the team needs
to become more “mentally focused”
and put the team’s goal back into
perspective.
Nebraska has played 26 matches
this season - several against high
caliber teams — all geared toward one
goal, to reach the Final Four.
That’s still within the realm of
possibility but it’s going to take a
more conscious effort than what’s
been displayed lately.
Again the Huskers have to be
hungry, only this time no second
chances.
At the beginning of the season a
player made a reference that this year
is now or never.
There is no more tomorrow. Now
is here.
