Missouri defeats NU, 107-85 , .
Nee’s emotions mixed after loss
By Jeff Apel
Senior Editor
Nebraska men’s basketball coach
Danny Nee was full of criticism and
praise after his team’s game against
Missouri.
Nee said after Nebraska’s 107-85
loss to the Tigers on Saturday at the
Heames Center that he was upset
because the Comhuskers were given
a rude reception by the Antlers. The
Antlers, Missouri’s official support
group, greeted Nebraska by dropping
their pants at the Columbia, Mo.,
airport
“They mooned us,” Nee said
during his postgame radio show. “They
were showing their better side.”
Nee said the Antlers’ shenanigans
continued when Nebraska boarded its
team bus, as the group surrounded the
Huskcrs’vchicleand forced it to drive
excessively slow.
Nee said die Anders then invaded
Nebraska’s hotel and made so much
noise that security had to be called.
The group then used an abundance of
profanity towards the Huskcrs through
out the game.
“They acted like complete jack
asses,” Nee said. “They were a very
abusive, foul group of people. They
lived up to their reputation that repre
sents Missouri very well.”
Nee said Missouri forward Doug
Smith also lived up to his reputation
of being a dominate player, as the 6
foot-10 forward tallied 44 points. That
total was two points short of the
Missouri single-game scoring record
that was set by Joe Scott in 1961.
Nee said Smith got stronger as the
game progressed. Smith scored 26
points in the second half.
“In the second half, I really thought
Smith picked it up a notch,” Nee
said. “We were focusing on him, but
he’s a great player.”
Smith said he was happy with his
performance even though he missed
two easy shots that would have given
him the record.
“The record, it really doesn’t
matter,” Smith said after Raycom’s
telecast of the contest. “I had a chance
at it, and it didn’t work out.”
Missouri coach Norm Stewart said
Smith tallied his points by taking
advantage of the Tigers’ gameplan.
He said Missouri wanted to work the
ball inside against Nebraska, which
dropped to 9-12 overall and 2-6 in the
Big Eight.
Stewart said he was not surprised
by Smith’s performance.
“He’s a great player,” Stewart
said. “It was a great game for him.”
Smith didn’t waste any time work
ing on his scoring total, as he scored
six of Missouri’s first 10 points. He
then scored 12 points to give the
Tigers’ a 46-39 halftime lead.
Nee said he was proud of Ne
braska’s showing in the first half.
“We went head-to-head with
them,” he said.
Missouri pulled away in the sec
ond half behind the scoring of Smith
and guard Anthony Peeler. Peeler
finished with 16 points, while tor
ward Nathan Buntin added 12 and
guard John McIntyre scored 10.
Nebraska’s scoring attack was led
by center Rich King, who scored 25
points. Forwards Ray Richardson and
DaPrcis Owens joined King in double
figures with 16 and 10 points, respec
tively. „
Smith said the win was a big one.
He said the Tigers, now 8-1 in the Big
Eight and 22-2 overall, entered the
contest still reeling from their loss to
Kansas State on Thursday.
That loss, coupled with No. 2
ranked Kansas’ victory against Iowa
State on Saturday, will likely cost
Missouri its No. 1 ranking.
“It feels good to win,” Smith said.
“It’s just nice to win the ball game.”
Nee said the Huskers never gave
up.
“We answered the bell and com
peted,” he said. “I thought the whole
game we were competing. That’s very
important for us.”
Nee said Nebraska will need that
same type of competitive attitude when
it faces Oklahoma State on Wednes
day. The game begins at 7:35 p.m. at
the Bob Devaney Sports Center.
Nee called Oklahoma State a
“dangerous” team.
“They’ve got a good basketball
team,” he said. “We have to be ready.
We have to have a good game.”

Coach: Nebraska’s defeat by Tigers
caused by little things, not structure
By Paul Domeier
Senior Reporter
and Chris Hopfensperger
Staff Reporter
Somewhere, someplace, something
went wrong for the Nebraska women’s
basketball team Saturday.
Whatever it was, Nebraska’s late
rally could not spring the Comhuskers
past the Tigers, and Missouri took a
64-60 win Saturday before 2,719
spectators at the Bob Devaney Sports
Center.
“We controlled the game in a lot
r “ — — — — — — — — — —
of ways,” Nebraska coach Angela
Beck said. ‘‘It was the little lid-bitty
things that ate at us.”
Beck gave more time to her veter
ans, hoping to gain belter results for
the Huskers, 10-13 and 2-8 in the Big
Eight.
‘‘I wanted to win a game at this
point,” she said.
Some of her players responded.
Ann Halsne had 16 points and eight
rebounds. Sarah Muller, running the
baseline on offense for the first lime,
scored 13 points and Karen Jennings
added 11. #

Nebraska’s ability to go inside and
put Lisa Sandbothe, Missouri’s lead
ing scorer, on the sidelines for half of
the game impressed Missouri coach
Joann Rutherford.
4 4 Nebraska did a great job of going
to Lisa and getting her in foul trouble
early and keeping her on the bench a
good part of the game,” she said.
“But our other players picked it up
and kept it going. That’s what it’s all
about.”
Some negatives of past games were
ironed out for Nebraska, which has
lost three-straight games. As a team,
the Huskers hit 18 of 20 free throws
and had only 10 turnovers in the sec
ond half.
But the Huskers’ last lead was 17
15. Nebraska was never behind by
more than seven, but the Huskers
only tied the game once in the second
half, at 58-58 with 1:51 left.
4 4 We had plenty of chances to get
thi s game in hand, but we couldn T get
any runs,” Beck said.
Sandbothe led the Tigers, 17-7 and
8-2, in the first half before her foul
trouble. Marcia Brooks keyed Mis
souri during the second half. Sharon
Bax hit four free throws to ice the
game in the final 22 seconds.
That’s two seniors and one junior
combining for 37 points and leading
the opposition to another win, high
lighting the problems the young
Huskers have had with veteran squads.
The game was another example of
missed opportunities. Beck said.
Nebraska has only four more oppor
tunities to get a win before the Big
Eight tournament.
4 ‘It’s not our offensive structure or
or defensive structure. It’s the liule
things that surround it,” Beck said.

Robert said he wasn ’t surprised by
his son’s performance.
This is something that might sound
crazy, but when he was about 8 years
old, I could look at him, and I told
re ?°*n8 to be a great run
ner, the senior Jelks said. ‘‘I could
just tell he was going to be something
special.” e
Wanda said her family doesn’t mind
traveling so far to support their son.
“We’ve always supported him 100
percent, she said. “With the dis
tance now it makes a difference, but
we’re real proud of him.”
Jelks said he will need more than
parental support to continue having a
successful track career.
“If I decide to quit, it will end
there, he said. “If I decide to con
tinue. which I will, I don’t know how
far it’ll take me. It depends on what
the Man upstairs has in store for me.
If He gives me my help and my strength
I’ll be all right.
