Young cubs want to become
Mizzou Tigers by end of year
uy Jen uriescn
Senior Reporter
With a new coaching staff and a
young team, the Missouri baseball
team will have a new look this sea
son.
But no one, including Coach Tim
Jamieson, is sure what the Tigers will
look like.
Jamieson, entering his first year at
the helm for the Tigers, said it could
be a long season.
“I think it is going to be one of
those years when you play a lot of
young guys and you hope they grow
up fast,” Jamieson said. ‘‘I definitely
hope they grow up a lot before the
opening of the Big Eight, or it could
get rough.”
The Tigers return only two full
time starters from last year’s team
that finished 32-26 overall and sixth
in the Big Eight with a 9-19 record.
If Missouri is going to mature into
a contender in the Big Eight this
season, seniors Jay White and Brent
Chamberlain must lead the way,
Jamieson said.
White hit .290 with 6 home runs
and 38 RBI as the Tigers’ first
baseman last season.
Chamberlain hit .337 with 43 RBI
as the Tigers ’ starting catcher in 1994,
but should move to the designated
hitter spot this season to make room
for Texas A&M transfer Tom
Buchman.
Junior shortstop Justin Towe, who
hit .249 with 22 RBI, will also have to
provide leadership in the infield,
Jamieson said.
After White, Chamberlain and
Towe, the most experienced return
ing position players are sophomore
third baseman Mike Jorgensen and
sophomore outfielders Rob Fullerton
and Brian Seymour.
Seymour is the Tigers’ top return
ing hitter after batting .340 in 50 at
bats last season. Fullerton hit .267 in
3 0 at-bats. Jorgensen played only four
games.
While the Tigers are inexperienced
in the field, they do return several
pitchers to the rotation.
Senior left-hander Greg Lindstrom
posted a 5-2 record with a 4.55 ERA,
and junior left-hander Jerry Vansell
went 6-6 and posted a 6.24 ERA.
Keith Massa, Mike Haverty and
Donnie Charles also saw substantial
time on the hill last season.
Despite an experienced staff,
'7 definitely hope they
grow up a lot before the
opening of the Big Eight,
or it could get rough. ”

TIM JAMIESON
MU head baseball coach
Jamieson said the Tigers’ pitching
could be a bigger question mark than
their hitting.
“We have some good arms, but we
don’t have a No. 1 guy,” Jamieson
said. “We’re going to throw a lot of
guys at people and see if our staff can
get the job done as a whole.”
Jamieson said he hoped die Tigers
could mature quickly and become a
factor in the Big Eight race.
But he also said the Tigers might
play a different role in the confer
ence.
“We might be in the same position
this year as Kansas State was last
year,” Jamieson said.
Huskers hope to put past behind and
perform strong in NIT competition
oy uere* damson
iienior Reporter ~
The Nebraska basketball team
would like to put this season behind
them.
A starting point to do that would
be a strong showing in the National
Invitation Tournament, some players
said.
Nebraska opens play in NIT com
petition Thursday, when it plays host
tp 18-9 Georgia.
Nebra^ftrward Wefvin Brooks
said the Comhuskers would need to
have a positive attitude in Thursday
night’s game.
“I would rather be in the NCAA
(Tournament), but I’m going to try to
make the best of the situation that
we’re in,” Brooks said. “We have to
put everything that’s happened lately
behind us and go into it with the
attitude that we’re going to make the
best of it.”
After finishing the season 4-10
and in seventh place in the Big Eight,
Nebraska lost 68-48 in the first round
of the Big Eight Tournament to Okla
homa State.
* The loss dropped Nebraska to 17
13 overall, and was the Huskers’ sev
enth loss in their last eight games.
Terrance Badgett said Nebraska
needed to put the past eight games
behind them.
• We buy, sell and trade
• We pay the most...in CASH!
• We guarantee ours IOO%
• The largest selection of new
ond used CDs and tapes
“We can’t focus on this,” Badgett
said. “This is over and done. We have
to try to end this season on a winning
note. We’re going to try to make
some things happen in the NIT and
build for next year.
“We have to learn from this year.
Hopefully, we can do well in the NIT
and that will erase some of the nega
tive things that happened this year.”
With Nebraska returning every
one except Brooks next season, guard
Erick Strickland said the team needed
to finish the season with something
positive, rather than its current four
game losing streak.
“We’re going back to the drawing
board,” Strickland said. “We need
something positive to happen. We
need to play well and hopefully go to
the finals. That will hopefully carry
over into next year.”
Nebraska center Chris Sallee said
that after the way Nebraska played in
the Big Eight season, playing well in
the NIT was a matter of respect.
“Hopefully, we can make the best
of a bad situation,” Sallee said. “It’s
the start of a new season. Hopefully,
we can go far in the NIT and get a
little respect back.”

spring to play next season, and possi
bly take one or two Proposition 48
casualties, who would be ineligible
until the fall of 1996.
“It will be good for me to sit out a
year,” Mitchell said, “and learn from
the guys Nebraska has back in the
fall.”
In addition to being close to home,
Mitchell said, Nebraska offered him
a place to showcase his talent in a
guard-oriented offense.
“One of the main reasons I de
cided to come here,” he said, “is
because of the way they play. I like
the way they get the ball up and down
the court.”
Since he grew up in Omaha,
Mitchell said, he had known Huskers
Jaron Boone and Terrance Badgett
for several years. Badgett graduated
from Omaha South High School, and
Boone lived in Omaha for several
years before moving to Salt Lake
City prior to attending high school.
While in Lincoln for his official
visit last fall, Mitchell said he had a
good time with escorts Mikki Moore
and Chester Surles. Despite all the
commotion over his college choice,
he said, he has been able to remain
focused on his high school career.
“I have tried as much as I could to
concentrate on this season,” Mitchell
said. “And I have, but I do think
about next year.”

Kaszuba is just .05 behind at 2:12.32.
Another factor that could give
Heyns an advantage over Kaszuba is
that Heyns’ parents, Steve and Patsy,
will see their daughter swim com
petitively in the United States for the
first time.
Heyns will swim the 400-yard
medley relay on Thursday and the
100-yard breastroke on Friday. On
Saturday, she will swim both the
200-yard breaststroke and 200-yard
medley relay.
She said swimming four events
shouldn’t make her too tired to do
well, even though Nebraska finished
16th last year.
But Heyns said this season, things
could change.
“I think this year, with slight im
provements on each of our times, we
could be possibly be top 10,” Heyns
said. ‘‘I think that is a realistic goal
that we’re aiming for.”
