Iowa State’s pitching lineup
biggest question in conference
By Jeff Gnescn
Senior Reporter
The departures of three of the best
pitchers in the Big Eight have left
Iowa State baseball coach Bobby
Randall searching for a new pitching
staff this season.
Matt Wagner, Mike Maurer and
Brian Binversier were drafted in the
top 17 rounds of the professional draft
last summer and headed for the ma
jors after their junior seasons.
Although Randall has lost the core
of his pitching staff, he hasn’t lost his
sense of humor.
“Those guys are irreplaceable,”
Randall said. “To give you some idea of
how valuable they were to us, their
combined signing bonuses added up to
more than our entire baseball budget.”
To replace the losses, Randall has
a young staff with strong arms but
little experience.
“If having 11 freshman pitchers
doesn’t wake you up at 3 o’clock in
the morning looking for some Maalox,
then I don’t know what will,” Randall
said. “It definitely makes you think
aboutsellinginsurancewhen you have
a bunch of freshmen trying to get
Oklahoma State and Oklahoma hitters
out.”
Although the Cyclones lost three
of their top pitchers, the ace of Iowa
State’s staff, Jeff Sebring, returns.
Sebring, last season’s freshman of
the year in the Big Eight, went 6-2
with a 3.76 ERA and 50 strikeouts in
67 1/3 innings.
“Jeff is really going to have tocarry
the load until our young pitchers fig
ure out what they have to do to win,”
Randall said. “Our pitching staff is
such a big question mark that I don’t
know how good or bad we’re going to
be.”
Despite having one of the most
talented pitching staffs in the country
last season, the Cyclones were both
good and bad.
Iowa State’s pitching staff
struggled, and the hitters struggled
even more as the Cyclones stumbled
to an 11-23 start.
But Iowa State’s season turned
around as the entire staff got into a
groove and the Cyclones went 19-5
down the stretch to finish 15-14 in
fourth place in the conference and 30
28 overall.
“We were horrendous last year at
the start of the season, but then we
turned it around and played way above
our ability down the stretch,” Randall
said. “I don’t really have any explana
tion for our bad start. I just know it
wasn’t the coaching. And to be hon
est, I think our strong finish was a
direct result of great coaching.”
Along with a new pitching staff,
Randall will also have to replace two
of his top run producers in first
baseman Brad Mangier, who hit .269
with 40 RBI, and second baseman
Mark Elsinger, who hit .288 with 41
RBI.
The Cyclones also lost leadoff hit
ter and centerfielder Chad Ponegalek.
The good news is that team MVP
Pat Pethel returns. Pethel, a senior
outfielder, hit .278 with seven home
runs, 45 RBI, 45 runs scored and 16
stolen bases.
“We are the biggest question mark
in the league,” Randall said. “I hate to
use the word rebuilding, but we are
young and unproven. We are going to
take some lumps, but I know that we
are going to play hard.”
Sapp fails NFL drug test
PHOENIX (AP) — Warren Sapp,
projected as a possible No. 1 pick in
next month’s NFL draft, failed drug
tests at the league’s scouting com
bine in February, sources said.
The New York Times, citing sev
eral unidentified club executives, re
ported Tuesday that Sapp failed co
caine and marijuana tests in India
napolis. ESPN, citing two league
executives, said Sapp tested positive
for marijuana.
Several club and league execu
tives, who asked not to be identified,
told The Associated Press at die NFL
meetings cm Monday night that Sapp
and up to seven players failed mari
juana tests.
Sapp, who declared himself eli
gible for the draft after his junior year
at Miami, was an All-America defen
sive tackle. He won the Lombardi
Award as the nation’s best lineman.
ESPN said Sapp was one of seven
players who tested positive for mari
juana. The Times reported that run
ning back James Stewart, Sapp’s
teammate at Miami and also a poten
tial first-round pick, failed a mari
juana test.

Tournament.
Nebraska has lost five straight
post-season games going back to an
85-74 loss at Ohio State in the 1989
NIT.
Nee said his team could have gone
2-2 in those four NCAA games, but
things just didn’t work out.
In 1991, Nee said his team had too
many off-court distractions with Tony
Farmer and Jose Ramos. Being in the
NCAA for the first time since 1986
was also new for his team.
The next year against Connecti
cut, Nee said his team ran into a bad
seed. The Huskies were a lot better
than most people thought, he said.
In 1993, the Huskers trailed 42-39
at halftime against New Mexico State,
but eventually lost 93-79.
Last year, Nebraska was coming
off the Big Eight Tournament Cham
pionship and struggled, losing 90-80
against Pennsylvania.
Nee said going 2-2 over that stretch
would have been reasonable.
Now the Huskers look to end that
streak of post-season woes.
If Nebraska beats the Bulldogs,
the Huskers would play the winner of
the Miami-Penn State game.
Right now, Nee said that was the
least of his worries.
“If you think I’m past 7 o’clock on
Thursday, you’re crazy,” Nee said.
“The days of dreaming are over; I’m
Mr. Reality this week.”
“I just pray that our fans now
come out and give us a home-court
advantage,” Nee said. “It will be a
big-time quality atmosphere.”
