Duke did have quite an effect on
this year’s final by knocking off the
team that everyone from experts to
casual fans knew would be there.
When Kansas left the court after
beating North Carolina in the open
ing semifinal game, it would have
been easy to assume the Jayhawks
were thinking about the Runnin’ Rebels
and how they would handle the team
with 34 wins in as many games and a
28-point average margin of victory.
“I thought Duke had an edge from
a player’s standpoint because of the
humiliating loss,” Kansas forward
Mark Randall said.
“I picked Duke,” front-courtmate
Mike Maddox said.
Even if it was Sunday-morning
quarterbacking, the Jayhawks were
not disappointed in losing the chance
at beating UNLV and were apprehen
sive at facing Duke.
“I would have been relieved if St.
Mary ’ s Sisters of the Blind had beaten
Vegas, but I don’t think I’m going to
sit up here and say I’m relieved to
play Duke,” Kansas coach Roy Wil
liams said.
There weren’t any injuries on or
off the court in the semifinal wins,
and the matchups taking shape are
interesting.
Randall, who had 16 points and 11
rebounds against the Tar Heels, will
most likely go against Laettner, who
had 28 points against UNLV, 20 in
the first half when he went inside to
draw fouls and open things up for the
cutters and slashers in the motion
offense.
The two know each other well
from an extended summer as team
mates on the U.S. national team which
was coached by Krzyzewski.
“He really worked on his moves
down low this summer and then I saw
him this year a couple of times and he
was hitting three-pointers,’’ Randall
said. “Last night he had a great game.
He hit the free throws to clinch it and
I heard he had a great first half. He’s
just a great player.”
Lacttner returned the compliments.
“He makes players better and he’s
as big a reason why they are where
they are,” Lacttner said. “Whoever
checks him has to be ready.”
Now college basketball has to get
ready for an unexpected champion.
Will it be Duke — finally? Or will
it be Kansas—again? The Jayhawks’
second and most recent title was in
1988, when Maddox was a freshman
and Randall a medical redshirt.
Krzyzewski didn’t say if he had
made any early tournament predic
tions, but he had one for tonight.
“These teams match up fairly well,”
he said. “I see a very close game.
Very close.”

Coach: Tour a learning experience
By Jeff Singer
Staff Reporter
The Nebraska men’s tennis team
came up with only three of expected
five wins in five matches last week in
Miami.
The Huskers lost to Southwest
Missouri State 54 and to Florida
International 6-3, in between manag
ing wins over Miami-Dade and Palm
Beach junior colleges as well as Barry
University.
The other scheduled match for
Nebraska against Boca Raton was
cancelled because of a scheduling
conflict.
“This trip was a good learning
experience as a whole,” Nebraska
coach Kerry McDermott said. “The
main thing we learned is that if we
don’t work together as a team, we’re
going to lose, no matter who we play.”
Despite the losses, McDermott said
the Comhuskers gained some good
from the matches.
“We learned on this trip that no
matter who we play, we can’t look
ahead,” McDermott said. “I think this
will also help strengthen our team
unity, as well as our overall attitude.”
McDermott said that not only did
the outdoor competition prepare his
team for conference play, it also so
lidified his lineup for the upcoming
Big Eight season.
No major changes occurred in the
lineup. Joey Salerno earned the No. 4
singles spot, Karl Falkland will play
No. 5 and Anthony Kotarac No. 6.
Salerno and Kotarac will team at No.
2 doubles.
Kotarac, though, might not be able
to compete against Oklahoma State
on Saturday alter sitting out the week
with an ankle injury. Senior David
Moyer will replace Kotarac if Ko
tarac is unable to play.
Nebraska will take to the road this
weekend to play the defending Big
Eight champion Cowboys on Satur
day and Oklahoma on Sunday.
