Now, after losing to Oklahoma 85-83, losing at No. 3 Colorado 89 76 and picking up their first Big Eight road win at Missouri, the Comhuskers may be playing their best basketball of the season. The Huskers, 12-13, 3-10 in the conference, look to win their second consecutive road game Sunday in a 2 p.m. game at Iowa State. The Cy clones are 8-17 and 1-12 in the con ference. Beck said this weekend’s game could give the Huskers momentum going into the Big Eight Tournament on March 4-6. “Right now at a time that we need to, we’re starting to play better bas ketball,” Beck said. That has shown inNebraska’s scor ing. The Huskers have picked up the offensive tempo, averaging 80.3 points in their last three games. In the first ten conference games, Nebraska averaged 61.4 points. Beck said the up-tempo style helped a team like hers. “We’ve kind of abandoned the changing philosophy against some of the better teams of slowing it down, and we’ve been pushing up our tempo,” Beck said.

The 6-foot-4 center scored 21 points and had nine rebounds against Colorado’s 6-3 Isabelle Fijalkowski. Against Missouri, Aarden made 14 of 17 free throws and scored 28 points with 11 rebounds. Beck said Aarden could be a sec ond-team All-Big Eight selection if she finished out the season strong against the Cyclones. “In the last two games, she’s just been short of phenomenal for us,” Beck said. “A lot of it has to do with the fact that she has gained some confidence in herself and she’s had experience.” Aarden’s improvement at the free throw line has made her a better player. Beck said. Before making 19 of 24 free throws last weekend, Aarden was shooting just-44 percent from the line. Beck said Aarden had finally fig ured out the right technique to use from the line. And free-throw shooting could help give Nebraska a sixth-place seed in the Big Eight Tournament and a first-round matchup with Kansas. But only if the Huskers defeat Iowa State in Ames, Iowa. All that depends on Missouri, which is a 1/2 game ahead of Ne braska. The Tigers travel to Kansas State and to Kansas this weekend. The Huskers would win the tie breaker since the Huskers have beaten Missouri twice this season. If Nebraska finishes seventh in the conference, it would play Oklahoma in the first round. The Soonershave beaten the Husk ers twice by a combined total of three points. Beck said her team would be ready no matter what team it had to face in the first round. “We basically have the philoso phy that we’re tired of being in awe of them (Kansas),” Beck said. “No one else is.” Beck said Nebraska should be able to continue its recent improvements on Sunday. “At a time I still could be discour aged, I’m pretty encouraged,” Beck said. “I think we’ll play well at Iowa State.” Strike Continued from Page 7 ers have always appeared in exhibi tions. The union has said it will con sider a pflayer a strikebreaker if he appears in a regularly scheduled ex hibition game, one at a major league spring training site or one for which admission is charged. “In the past, non-roster players might occasionally play in such games alongside major leaguers,” Fehr said, “but it was not the presence of the non-roster players which made those games major league exhibition games. It was the presence of the major leaguers that did, and this year the major leaguers are on strike.” Baseball players and owners, who can’t agree on a contract, can’t agree on their definition of a replacement player either. “It’s as different as different can be of any camps I’ve been to in 10 years,” Chicago White Sox catcher Barry Lyons said Thursday in Sarasota, Fla. “ You don’t know who’s going to be here and who’s here for what reason.” Owners say players won’t be strikebreakers until the regular sea son starts April 2. Exhibition games begin next Wednesday, with the California An gels playing Arizona State. The other major league teams will begin using their replacement players on March 2 and 3. “We’d all be pretty foolish if we thought it won’t impair bargaining,” Fehr said. Fehr said the union had every right to draw the line on exhibition games because teams charged admission and because the players wore major league uniforms and played in their usual stadiums.
