“The conference is so good,”
Williams said, “it might keep one
team out that i$ definitely NCAA
caliber.”
That team might be Missouri. The
Tigers fell one game behind the four
team pack in third place with the loss
to Nebraska and fell to 4-6 and seventh
place in the conference.
Missouri finishes its season with
home games against Oklahoma and
Colorado, and road games at Kansas
State and Oklahoma State. The Tigers
and the Cowboys will play Wednesday
in Stillwater, Okla.
Tiger coach Norm Stewart said he
wasn’t thinking about getting his team
into the tournament just yet
“I'm just thinking about winning
the next game,” Stewart said. “We’re
up to our rear end in alligators and all
we want to do is drain the swamp.”

a cost-cutting idea: eliminating one

measure, he said, would save schools

two athletic scholarships.
“I'd gladly trade one official foi
two basketball players,"Tubbs joked
• Injury update: Tubbs said senioi

Women gymnasts prepare
for Michigan State rematch
By Tim Pearson
Staff Reporter _
After Saturday's second-place fin
ish behind Michigan State in a trian
gular, the Nebraska women’s gym
nastics team wants another shot at the
Spartans in next week’s Masters Clas
sic, Comhusker coach Rick Walton
said.
On Friday, the No. 11 Huskers
traveled to Ames, Iowa and defeated
Iowa State.
Walton said he was pleased with
his team’s performance, except for an
injury to sophomore Kristi Camp.
In warm-ups before the meet, Camp
injured her knee and will now prob
ably be out for the remainder of the
season.
“We had a great meet, except for
the loss of Kristi Camp,” Walton said.
“We expected to load up on our score
and do well on Friday and play it
conservative on Saturday.
“We were more worried about an
injury in Saturday’s dual than in
Friday’s dual, but it didn’t turn out
that way," Walton said.

—Walton

-ff -
Nicole Duval, Jennifer Hawkinson
and Martha Jenkins—tied for the all*
around title against Iowa State.
Walton said that the performances
of Duval, Hawkinson, and Jenkins
were the main reasons the Huskers
defeated the Cyclones.
“All three had very good meets,”
he said. “You’re not going to get that
performance night in and night out,
though. With Camp out, they were
pretty much the reason why we did so
well.”
Walton said fatigue affected his
team in tne triangular on Saturday.
“We flew out right after the meet
Friday night, and we waited at the
hospital to see about Kristi,’’ he said.
“We only got five hours of sleep, so
we didn’t expect to set the world on
fire on Saturday.”
The Huskers scored 188.60, fin
ishing behind Michigan State and
ahead of Northeastern.
Duval turned in a third-place per
formance in the all-around, scoring a
38.7.
The Huskers have nine days before
their next competition in the Masters
Classic in Lincoln March 1.
Walton said the time would be
used to adjust to the loss of Camp.
“Our goal is to get the freshmen
more settled in with die loss of Kristi,”
he said. “The key is for the four
freshmen to step in and make an im
pact.”
Nebraska will compete against
Michigan State and Illinois m the
Masters Classic.
“I think the girls feel they can
win,” he said. “We’re a better team
than what Michigan State saw on
Saturday.”

and Coach Angela Beck said playing
the Lady Buffs close on their home
floor was significant
The game was played before 8,500
fans at the CU Events Center, and
Nebraska stayed even with the Lady
Buffs well into the second half.
“This game showed people that we
are tough,” Beck said. “If wecan go in
and play a top-five team that close, it
is only going to make us a more
credible team for the NCAA
Tournament” '
Beck, whose team is 18-6 overall
and 8-4 in the Big Eight said she was
unsure of how many wins her team
needed to clinch a berth in the NCAA
Tournament, but she said the Missouri
game would be important.
The game is the last regular-season
road contest for Nebraska this season.
TheComhuskers will end their regular
season Sunday with a home game
against Iowa State.
“I don’t know if there is a magic
number,” Beck said. “If we can beat
Missouri and do well in the Big Eight
Tournament, we should be considered.
“We would have to fall on our face
not to get something,” she said.
Missouri, currently in fourth place
in the conference with a 7-4 record,
still has a chance to pass Nebraska in
the league standings.
“The Missouri game is very
important,” Beck said. “If we can win
against Missouri, we will be over the
.500 mark.”
The Tigers are ledby senior center
Vantrece Williams, who is averaging
15.5 points per game. TheTigers broke
a two-game losing streak Sunday with
a win at home against Iowa State.
Beck said one of her main concerns
tonight would be fatigue. The Huskers
arrived in Lincoln late Sunday night
from Colorado and left for Missouri
on Monday afternoon after a 2 1/2
hour practice.
“It is tough to have all this
traveling," Beck said. “But we have a
lot to play for and the team understands
that.”
Beck said the Huskers knew what
to expect from Missouri after winning
86-66 on Jan. 24 in Lincoln. The
Huskers also won at Missouri last
year 61-51.
Nonetheless, Beck said playing on
the Tigers’ home floor would present
a challenge for her team.
“They will be fired up at home,”
Beck said. “They should play very
physical and very aggressive. They
have something to play for also."
