    Free throws sink NU
From Staff Reports
The Nebraska women’s basketball team lost
a heartbreaker Sunday at Oklahoma when Angie
Guffy sank two free throws with two-tenths of
a second remaining to give the Sooners a 79-78
victory.
With Oklahoma leading 75-69, Nafeesah
Brown’s six straight free throws and Kate
Galligan’s three-pointer gave the Huskers a 78
77 lead with 1:04 remaining. After Nebraska
turned the ball over, Guffy missed a shot with
10 seconds remaining.
Nebraska’s Pyra Aarden was fouled on the
rebound and missed the front end of a one-and
one foul shot. After getting the ball down the
court, Guffy was fouled by Aarden to set up the
winning free throws with less than a second
remaining.
Coach Angela Beck saw her team drop to 8
7 and 0-2 in the Big Eight with the loss she said
shouldn’t have been.
“I thought Pyra had a great game and we
wouldn’t have been in it at the end without her,”
Beck said. “This was our game to win. We
dominated the second half.”
Oklahoma used a 29-11 run in the first half
to hold a 42-31 advantage at intermission. The
Sooners’ Etta Maytubby scored 15 of her game
high 25 points in the first half.
Nebraska cut into the Oklahoma lead to start
the second half, as Aarden scored six points in
the first 3^:30 to bring Nebraska within six at 46
After another Oklahoma run, Mcggan
Yedsena and Galligan hit three-pointers to help
Nebraska go on a 17-4 run and tie the game at
59.
Brown led the Huskers with 20 points and 13
rebounds, while Galligan added 18.
Respect

ing for his three sacks and countless quarter
back hurries.
Likewise, Dixon wasentitled to more—130
yards and a touchdown more, to be exact—for
his playmaking on the punt return and two
catches that were nullified.
Byron Bennett, who once dreamed of kick
ing a national-title winning field goal, deserved
better than to have to do it twice in the final
seconds of the game.
And Mike Anderson, Toby Wright, John
Reece, Kevin Ramaekers and the rest of the
defense’s senior stoppers should have some
thing more to show for their efforts.
Still, Ramaekers found some consolation.
“I am laughing right now at all the people
that said we couldn’t do it,” he said. “You
know, in some aspects of the game, I felt 1 ike we
really kicked the hell out of them.
“We didn’t come out winners, but deep
down inside I feel like we won this game.”
Sodocs Coach Tom Osborne. And he should
feel that way. He outpreparcd and outcoached
Bobby Bowden, only to be left without a na
tional title again.
But just like Gill was, Frazier could be

:an prepare myself a little better.”
At the time, Jones said his injuries and a
possible shot to play for a national champion
ship again next season probably would bring
him back to Nebraska for his senior season.
Osborne s ticket to national-title showdowns in
the next two years.
The sophomore quarterback stole the show
from Heisman Trophy-winner Charlie Ward,
then watched Ward steal the ring from him in
Florida State’s final drive.
That makes Frazier all the more hungry for
next season.
“I am very excited,” he said. “We’ll just
have to wait and see what happens.... I don’t
want to say anything else.,.. We’ll just have to
wait and see.”
Wait and see. Sounds 1 ike four other Nebras
ka words. Wait. Till. Next. Year. But somehow,
with the Huskers’ performance in the Orange
Bowl, those words have a new, national title
ring to them.
Alter 1U years in the shadows, Nebraska’s
back in the spotlight. The Huskers will start off
next season where they left off this year— in
the top 3.
They may get a nationally televised season
opener in the Pigskin or Kickoff classics.
They’ll certainly get any recruit they want.
And they might even get some respect.
Cooper is a senior news-editorial major and the Daily
Nebraskan sports editor.
“Right now 1 realize, definitely after this
game, that because of the injuries and the
competition out there that getting my degree
would definitely be more important than play
ing professional football,” Jones said.
“And it is definitely an opportunity where
this Nebraska team has a lot of great players
coming back, and I would definitely like to be
a part of this foundation.”
