Nebraska gymnasts looking
to rebound against Sooners
By Mitch Sherman
Senior Reporter
For the first time in 10 years, the
Nebraska men’s gymnastics team
began its season with a loss.
But after two weeks of hard work
in the gym, Comhusker coach Francis
Allen said his team was prepared to
fare better on the mat this weekend
against Oklahoma.
The defending national champi
ons, 0-1, play host to the Oklahoma
Sooners in a 7 p.m. dual Saturday at
the Bob Devaney Sports Center.
Allen said senior Richard Grace,
who was the only Husker to compete
at the Winter Invitational last week
end in Colorado Springs, Colo., would
need to step up for Nebraska against
the Sooners.
“He should be our leader,” Allen
said.
But he said Grace could not lead
the team alone. Junior Jason Christie
and senior Rick Kieffer need to per
form better than they did in Nebraska’s
first meet, a loss to New Mexico at the
Rocky Mountain Open, Allen said.
He said he was disappointed with
the scores of Kieffer and Christie at
the Rocky Mountain Open. Kieffer, a
three-time All-American, posted an
all-around score of48.55 in the Husk
ers’ season opener. Christie,
Nebraska’s other returning all
arounder, scored a 50.15.
“Those other guy s should be storm
ing in the whole time,” Allen said.
.“They’ll be chasing Grace. I do feel
this week you are going to see a lot
better Christie and Kieffer. They’ve
had two more weeks to prepare.”
Grace, Christie and Kieffer will be
Nebraska’s only gymnasts compet
ing in the all-around Saturday, Allen
said. William Mulholland, a fresh
man all-arounder, tore an anterior
cruciate ligament at the Rocky Moun
tain Open. Mulholland will have sur
gery Saturday and sit out the remain
der of the season.
Allen said Nebraska’s injury prob
lems paled in comparison to those of
Oklahoma. The Sooners will hobble
into Lincoln this weekend without
sophomores Jeremy Killen and Casey
Bryan.
Without Killen and Bryan,
Oklahoma’s top two all-arounders,
Allen said Nebraska should win the
meet without much of a fight.
“Oklahoma is hurt,” he said. “If
(Killen and Bryan) do compete, they
won’t be in the all-around. That’s
really going to take the sting out of
them. You are going to see Nebraska
pretty good.”
Husker pressure on in Kansas
i '
By Derek Samson
Senior Reporter
If there is any time for the Ne
braska women’s basketball team to
have to play No. 19 Kansas in
Lawrence, Kan., it is now, Nebraska
coach Angela Beck said.
The 11-8 Comhuskers travel to
Lawrence tonight for a conference
game against 14-5 Kansas, but Beck
said the Jayhawks had proved that
A1 len Fieldhouse didn’t mean as much
this year.
Kansas has lost three out of its last
four games after dropping games to
Oklahoma and Oklahoma State in
Lawrence and a loss to top-ranked
Connecticut in Kansas City.
“I think they’re a little more vul
nerable than in the past at home,”
Beck said. “It might make it more
difficult for us that they are coming
off of three losses in their last four
games, and I think they gained a lot of
.confidence against UConn. At least
we know they can be beat at home.”
* To beat Kansas, Beck said, Ne
braska must shut down 6-foot-2 se
nior Angela Aycock, who is averag
ing 23 points a game.
“If Aycock has a great game, we’re
going to be in trouble,” Beck said. “If
we can slow her down, we should
have a good chance. But really, the
pressure is on Kansas. They have to
beat us and, considering we are a
pretty good team, that won’t be an
easy task.”
After Nebraska faces the task of
playing Kansas tonight, they travel to
Manhattan, Kan., to play Kansas State
Sunday.
i The Wildcats b^at the Huskers 74
70 Jan. 6 in Lincoln.
“Kansas State is a good team and
a team that we’ve had some luck with
down there,” Beck said. “They beat
us here, so that will add some adrena
line for us. I think there will be some
what of a revenge factor in that game.”
The Huskers are 5-3 in Manhattan
in Beck’s eight years at Nebraska.
Nebraska hopes to use this week
end to improve on its 2-5 conference
record, which isn’t the kind of mark
Beck had expected.
“Our goal at this point is to finish
in the top half of the Big Eight,” Beck
said. “We have finished in the bottom
half only once since I’ve been here. I
sure don’t want this to be the second,
and none of the players want that to
happen. We have a lot of pride in this
program, so we want to finish in the
top half.”

Kansas dual is Huskers’ last chance
By Derek Samson
Senior Reporter ,
Members of the Nebraska men’s
and women’s swimming and diving
team have one last chance to prove
--theiTlSelVeS tO
Coach Cal
Bentz before the
Big Eight
Champion
ships.
Nebraska
plays host to
Kansas Satur
aay at i p.m. in
Bentz cBob
Devaney Sports
Center in the Comhuskers’ last dual
meet before the conference champi
onships Feb. 22-25 in Oklahoma City,
Okla.
Bentz said he would use this last
dual to determine who would com
pete for the Huskers in the champion
ships.
“This meet is important for three
reasons,” Bentz said. “Number one, it
will determine our conference team.
Number two, it’s the University of
Kansas. And number three, we’re
honoring those seniors competing in
their last dual meet.”
Bentz said it wouldn’t be easy for
those competing in their last duals to
go out winners against Kansas’ men’s
team.
The Jayhawks defeated Iowa State
— the team the Huskers lost to in a
dual two weeks ago—last weekend.
“We know it’s going to be very
tough,” Bentz said. “I can’t remem
ber the last time we didn’t have a
tough meet when we swam against
Kansas. So we have to be prepared.”
With only the Big Eight and NCAA
Championships remaining, most of
the Huskers know what they need to
do for a win, Bentz said.
“At this point, either the hay is in
the bam or it isn’t,” Bentz said. “From
that standpoint, our heavy work is
done. But there is still a lot we can
work on for the Big Eights. We’re
beginning to move toward the end,
and it does get exciting this time of
year.”
Nebraska’s women hold down the
No. 14 ranking, while the Husker
men are ranked 19th.
Bentz said a win over Kansas Sat
urday would be a perfect way to end
the regular season.
“It isn’t that it is a must-win, but it
is of relative importance to us,” he
said. “Competing with Kansas over
the years, we know they ’re one of our
toughest competitors.
Minor
Continued from Page 7
Minor said he was worried
that his team might overlook
Nebraska because of the Soon
ers’ success in Norman.
But that probably won’t hap
pen with new Oklahoma coach
Kelvin Sampson, who replaced
the departed Billy Tubbs.
Minor said the transition was
smooth, and the Sooners’ 16-4
record showed that.
Oklahoma won j ust 15 games
last season.
“Coach Sampson came in,
he didn’t know what to expect
when he got here, yet we did a
good job of supporting him, and
he did a good job with our ef
fort.
“Coach really stresses mak
ing plays and being consistent,”
Minor said. “That’s been a big
deal about having a lot of confi
dence. The coach has a lot of
confidence in me and my team
mates.”
Huskers look better
and higher for meet
By Tony West
Staff Reporter
The Nebraska track and field team
will be taking the next step in compe
tition this weekend in Champaign,
111.
The Comhuskers will go against
Arkansas, Illinois, Clemson and Wis
consin.
In the first two meets of the 1995
indoor track and field season, track
and field coordinator Mark Kostek
said both the Nebraska men’s and
women’s team performed well.
But in the first meet, the competi
tion wasn’t at a really high level. In
the second meet, the Huskers did not
go against a full field of teams. The
meet was a dual against North Caro
lina.
And this weekend is another step
up the ladder. With each step the
Huskers make, Kostek said improve
ment was evident.
“A majority of our athletes have
got lifetime bests in the first two
meets,” Kostek said.
Last season, the Husker women
won the triangular in Lincoln by scor
ing 30 points more than the Arkansas
women. The men, however, were
edged out at the meet by Arkansas,
which has won 11 consecutive NCAA
Indoor National Championships.
This season, Kostek said that the
team’s main focus at this meet was to
start preparing for the Big Eight
Championships on Feb. 24-25.
“Coach (Gary) Pepin has taken the
emphasis off of the winning aspect,”
Kostek said. “We’re going there with
the idea to do the best we can and
score the most points that we can.
“If we win, fine. But if we don’t, it
won’t be a major blow to the team.”
