Domeier Continued from Page 16 court offense are Rich King in the post and Clifford Scales running the baseline or on the wing. Against Colorado, Scales was cold, and King was impatient. The Huskers had to run to score, but they weren’t forcing Colorado to take bad shots and they couldn’t rebound well enough to run. And the Huskers are careless. Just about every' basket Nebraska scores is worthy of a highlight film. Big deal. The Huskers need to quit throwing 40-foot look-away passes when 40 foot look-away passes aren’t neces sary. They must drop the ball off instead of going one-on-one. They must pull up for five-foot jumpers when defenders allow those shots. Nebraska’s problems can be avoided and hidden, if the team’s strengths — ball-handling, passing, rebounding, running — are empha sized and executed. The Huskers should not fall apart against Colorado the way they did two days ago. In theory, the Buffa loes’press plays right into Nebraska’s hands. The Huskers have an excellent passer at center in King, a shooting guard playing power forward in Beau Reid and two of three potential point guards (Scales, Jos6 Ramos, Keith Moody) on the court most of the time. So much for theories. The Huskers were tentative. The Huskers made bad decisions. The Huskers lost. They needed a loss, though. They’ve needed a loss for the past month. Ideally, it would have come Saturday at Oklahoma, since that game would be tough to win even if the Huskers were playing well. But they lost at Colorado. From here, Nebraska’s Big Eight season could go in two directions. Winning at Kansas State could be meaningless, since the Wildcats arc the likely last-place team in the con ference. The Huskers have yet to play their main contenders for the Big Eight title, Oklahoma. Oklahoma State, Missouri and Kansas, and six or seven losses in those eight games would make people forget about 16-1. Or the Huskers could win the conference. Nebraska is still the only team to win a Big Eight game on the road. The Huskers will be tough to beat at home. Nebraska has the most complete team on paper in the Big Eight. I don’t mean to pul any extra pres sure on the team. I wouldn’t find a 7 7 conference record morally offen sive. But I saw them obliterate Creighton. Unlike the ESPN watch ers around the country, I know what the Huskers can do. They still have to do it to call this season a success. When the Huskers beat Michigan State earlier this year, they said they hadn’t accomplished anything yet. This is what they meant. Nebraska needs an “Us Against the World” attitude, to stop compet ing against each other and start play ing as a unit. The Huskers need to play basketball again.
