The No. 2 Cornhuskers will face Missouri and Oklahoma State in separate duals this weekend. Wrestlers ready for road trip By Tim Pearson Staff Reporter Coming off a win against No. 8 Minnesota, the Nebraska wrestling team is expecting to continue its win ning ways this weekend. The No. 2 Comhuskcrs will take to the road for two duals. Nebraska will face Missouri tonight in Columbia at 7:30. On Sunday, the Huskers will travel to Stillwater, Okla., to wrestle No. 16 Oklahoma State. Huskerassistant coach Mark Cody said he expected Nebraska to come out of the weekend with two victories. “We * ve trained right through these two duals, because we’re not expect ing any problems with Missouri or Oklahoma State,” he said. * The Huskers, 6-2 in duals, will face a 5-4 Tiger team that likes to lie up their opponents, Cody said. A key match will be at 167, where Nebraska’s Tommy Robbins, now recovered from a rib injury suffered at the Great Plains Invitational Jan. 9, will face Missouri’s eighth-ranked Shaon Fry. “The match at 167 will be a big match,” Cody said. “This match is important for seeding irrihc Big Eight meet, which is important in how well he’ll do in the Big Eight meet.” Oklahoma State, a perennial wres tling powerhouse, stands at 2-3. The Cowboys have suffered because of NCAA sanctions against them last year. Even though the Cowboys arc struggling, they still field a couple of ranked wrestlers. At 150, OSU’s Alan Fried, who finished second in the NCAA last year, is ranked second again (his year and will pose a lough test for the Huskers, Cody said. , The Cowboys’ Travis Giltins is ranked tenth at 177, but will have to face the H uskers’ Corey Olson, who is second. One troubl i ng thought for the Husk ers may be the fact that Nebraska hasn’t beaten the Cowboys in a dual since 1921. Huskcr coach Tim Neumann is 0 9 in his carecragainstOklahoma Stale. Last weekend’s dual win against Minnesota gave the Huskcrs a boost, Cody said. “It told us where we were at,” he said. “Minnesota’s a lot better than where they’re ranked.” Cody said the two duals in three days shouldn’t be a problem for the Huskcrs. “We’ve trained pretty hard this week,” he said. “Wo’ce pretty healthy, so the two matches in three days shouldn’t be a problem.” Cody said the Huskcrs’ remaining duals should give them sortie AuMt match experience before the Big Eight meet. “We’ve had some lough competi tion all year long. It’ll be good to gel some matches in where we’re not worried about losing.” Kansas State Continued from Page 7 braska right in the hunt for the Big Eight title, Beck said. “We’re still in the picture, but it is it looked take SOUTH PADRE ISL 5 and 7 NIGHTS DAYTONA BEACH, S AND 7 NIGHTS PANAMA CITY BEACH, 5 AND 7 NIGHTS STEAMBOAT. CO l 5 A NO 7 NIGHTS MUSTANG ISLAND, 5 AND 7 NIGHTS HILTON HEAD ISLAND, 5 AND 7 NIGHTS care of business and hope these guys beat up on each other.” Another bonus for Nebraska is that three out of its last five games arc at home, where the Huskcrs arc 8-1 in the Big Eight this season. “It’s great that we have three of five here and we have beaten four of these last five teams,” Beck said. Beck said she knows whal her team needs lo do in the final five games lo pave their way to the NCAA Tourna ment. “If we take care of business at home and gel one out of two on the road, that will put us at 20 wins—and then watch out.” MEN'S BASKETBALL KANSAS ST. at NEBRASKA 3:!B p.a. # ^ fi CORNHUSKERSl i O (15-7,3-4| « ^ ;g P Iterance Oat%ett 73 43 z g P Brace CheMck M M ■ I C Patrick ChantBor 104 7.7 £ f a I—rlchBiBB 94 XI • PH 6 Eric PlRBmnM 1M 3 J P? ? ^ | g f WILDCATS 1 8 (154,5-2) m m F Vincent iacfcaow 13.6 4A Q F Aaron CoMar 9.0 6.5 !

Nee said the output that Wildcat coach Dana Altman had gotten out of his team was a credit to the Wilber native. Nee said that efficiency led to the demise of the Huskcrs when they lost to Kansas State in Lincoln last month. "‘We shot the ball so poorly it just made everything else seem like we were in molasses,” he said. ‘‘I thought the good defense of K-Staie and the poor shooting percentage caused the bad shooting of Nebraska.” Nebraska has won three of its last four conference games, including last Sunday’s 68-64 upset over confer ence-leader Kansas that improved the Huskers’ conference record to 3-4 and overall mark to 15-7. Nebraska forward Tom Best said the Jayhawk upset might have given Nebraska the momentum it needed for the second half of the Big Eight season. “I think it helped — a lot of guys, I think, were getting down after the Iowa State game (a 96-69 Huskcr loss last week), and after beating the No. 3 team like Kansas, it helps your confi dence a lot,” Best said. \ .
