The two teams traded baskets for
the next six minutes until the Trojans
tied the game at 19-19. Johnson re
sponded with a three-pointer from the
left wing and Derrick Chandler tipped
in a missed shot to give the Huskers a
24-19 lead. Chandler finished the night
with 12 points and eight rebounds.
Nebraska increased its lead to 30
22 on a three-point play by Eric Pi
atkowski which was followed by a
three-point basket by USC guard Duane
Cooper.
Nebraska then went on an 8-0 run,
seven of those coming from reserve
forward Bruce Chubick on a three
pointer, two free throws and a reverse
layup. Chubick finished the night with
15 points and six rebounds.
Chubick was part of a solid bench
performance by the Huskers. The
Husker reserves accounted for 32 points
and 15 rebounds, including 11 points
and six rebounds by Dapreis Owens.
Chubick said the low pre-season
expectations of the Nebraska reserves
by the press is a motivational factor
for this year’s team.
“I can’t speak for the entire bench,”
he said, ‘‘but I think we do (use it as
motivation).
“A lot of the press releases picked
us in the middle of the league because
they questioned the strength of our
bench. A lot of us coming off the
bench are probably like no-names
and that has to be a little bit of a
challenge in our minds.”
Nebraska coasted into halftime with
a commanding 51-37 lead and didn’t
give USC any opportunities to get
back into the game in the second half.
“I thought they were going to quit,”
Hayes said. ‘‘They stuck back in a
zone for a while and I thought they
were going to give up. But the threes
started falling for them.”
Nothing fell for USC for the first
six and a half minutes of the second
half. A Chris Cresswell three-pointer
with 13:38 left gave Nebraska a 69
50 lead.
The Trojans then went on a 16-7
run to close within 10 points, causing
some restlessness among the crowd.
After Nebraska pushed its lead back
up to 16, Miner raised his perform
ance level for USC.
The 6-foot-5 guard scored seven
points in less than two minutes, and
with a layup by Dwayne Hackett, the
Trojans had closed the gap to 10 again
with 1:55 left.
It was at that lime the Huskers got
hot from the free-throw line.
The Huskers shot only 61.5 per
cent from the line for the game, but
nailed three of four down the stretch
to ice the win.
A win over a good team such as
USC should open the eyes of those i
who picked Nebraska to finish in the
middleofthe Big Eight, Husker guard -
Michael Hughes said.
“A lot of people are kind of down
because we lost a lot of people last
year, but they have a big surprise
coming throughout the year.”

Cross country women cap off season
Team places 12th at nationals
By John Gardner
Staff Reporter _
Nebraska’s Fran ten Bensel gath
ered her second straight All-Ameri
can honor by placing 17th at the NCAA
Cross Country Championships in
Tucson, Ari/.., Monday.
Ten Bcnsei’s time of 17 minutes,
11.9 seconds led the way for the
Comhusker women, who finished 12th
with 314 points. Villanova ran aw ay
with the title, scoring 85 points and
Arkansas was a distant second with
168.
The 12th-place finish capped off a
successful season for Coach Jay
Dirksen’s team that won the Big Eight
Championships and the District V
Championships. Ten Bensel placed
first and second, respectively, in those
meets. Because of the women’s ef
forts, Dirksen was named Big Eight
Coach of the Year.
According to Dirksen, his team
was once again impressive at the
national meet. The Husker women
entered the meet ranking 11th in the
nation.
“I’m real proud of the girls,” Dirksen
said. ‘‘I knew going in we’d have to
run wild to finish in the Top 10.”
After the meet was over, Dirksen
said, it was evident that they ran their
hearts out. Because of their efforts,
they just about finished in the Top 10.
“They were all absolutely shot when
they finished, so I know they ran as
hard as they could.”
Dirksen said ten Bensel ran a very
smart race cn route to the high finish.
However, it was sort of an odd one, he
said.
“Fran started out in the 60s some
where after the first mile,” Dirksen
said. “Then, she got as high as 10th,
but eventually faded off in the last
quarter of a mile.”
Ten Bensel is only a junior so she
has a chance to become Nebraska’s
first three-time All-American next
year.
Lisa Graham, often ten Bensel’s
running partner in meets, finished the
5-kilometcr course in 17:49, good for
58th place. Dirksen said he was very
pleased with the way she ran, too.
“Lisa is our only senior,” he said.
“It’s nice to see her go out on a good
note.”
Because of the giant field of run
ners, Dirksen said, ten Benscl and
Graham weren’t really able to run
together like they usually do.
“Unless you run side by side, it’s
pretty hard to keep track of each other,”
he said.
In all, 179 runners finished the
race, with a few not completing the
course.
Nebraska’s next finisher was sopho
more Theresa Stelling, who finished
103rd in a time of 18:25.2. Michele
Schaeferwas 105th in 18:26.9. Syjvia
Veit crossed the finish line in 139th
place and a time of 18:54.4. Julieanne
Campbell wasn’t far behind at 19:06.1,
150th. Stephanie Quandt rounded out
the scoring for Nebraska with a 164th
place finish, in a time of 19:34.1.

Trojan standout breaks
Devaney scoring record
3y David Moyer
Staff Reporter
Harold Miner.
Remember that name.
It is a name the Nebraska men’s
basketball team will not soon forget
and a name that will be embedded in
the Bob Devaney Sports Center rec
ord books.
The 6-foot-5 junior guard blitzed
the Comhusker defense for 43 points
Monday night and set a Devaney Center
record in Nebraska’s 93-84 win over
Southern California.
The 43 points were a career-high
for Miner and the third-highest total
in USC history. This after scoring 32
Friday night. And to top it off, he did
it with a sore big toe on his left foot
which he suffered in the first half, an
injury which he said forced him to go
to his right most of the time.
Trojan Coach George Raveling said
he didn’t want to play Miner, but
Miner talked him into it.
“I had no intention of playing him
in the second half,” Raveling said.
“He kept telling me on the bench that
he was fine, that he could go back in
and play.
“He did a great job for us.”
Miner said he was hurting in the
second half, but didn’t want to come
out of the game.
“I just want to win and if I’m out
on the floor it helps our chances to
win,” Miner said. “I don’t have any
business sitting on the bench.
“You just have to be tough and
suck it up.”
Nebraska used several players,
including Michael Hughes, Eric Pi
atkowski, Carl Hayes and Bruce
Chubick, to guard Miner throughout
the night, but none slowed down the
pre-season second-team All-Ameri
can who averaged 23.5 points per
game last season.
Hughes was assigned the task of
stopping Miner for most of the game,
and said he is now a Harold Miner
fan.
“Harold Miner is no joke,” he said.
“That’s one man I respect I was pretty
confident about my defense at first,
but now I see I can’t stop everybody
out on the court.”
Hughes said he had heard com
parisons of Miner to NBA superstar
Michael Jordan, but he didn’t think it
was too realistic.
“I had heard very highly of him,
but I wasn’t expecting that,” he said.
“At first when people were saying he
was a baby Jordan, I was laughing
and everything, but I’ll be the first to
call him ‘Baby Jordan’ now.”
Like Jordan in his early years, Miner
also has to carry the load of being a
high scorer in order for his team to
win. But Raveling said he expects
him to handle it.
“That’s the burden of being a great,
great player,” he said. “That’s just a
burden you have to carry, but until we
get some other people to feel confi
dent and be assertive, that is the way
it is going to be.”
