Huskers told to forget disappointing season
Nee tells players
to take vacation
from basketball
By Derek Samson
Senior Reporter
Nebraska coach Danny Nee has
ordered his players to take a vacation
from basketball.
After finishing 18-14 after a 65-59
loss last Tuesday to Penn State in the
second round of the National Invita
tion Tournament, the Comhusker play
ers don’t want to take a break.
To avoid a similar season next year,
forward Terrance Badgett said the off
season would be the biggest key.
“Coach Nee always prints out
something for each person to do in the
summer to get better,” Badgett said.
“We have to do those things day in and
day out. You have to have some kind
of self-discipline that you want to help
the team get better, so we’re not the
same team we were this year. W e have
to get Detter.
But Nee said the Huskers needed
to rest, regroup and come back ready
next season.
“I told them,'Get away from bas
ketball, forget about it and take some
time off,’” Nee said. “It’s been a long
time since Oct. 15. I’m going to go
recruit, and then we’re just going to
try to build through the spring and
summer.”
Nebraska ended a season of firsts
for many players, including the first
time that any of the players did not
compete in the NCAA Tournament.
Nee said the season was especially
disappointing considering the talent
the Huskers had.
“I felt it was a year Nebraska bas
ketball didn’t reach its potential,” Nee
said. “I think we’re better than we
showed. I’m talking about all facets of
the game, not just winning and losing.
I never felt when we hit the competi
tion that we reacted like we should
have.
“We lost too many close games,
especially on our home court. When
I told them, ‘Get away from basketball, forget about
it and take some time off ’ Its been a long time
since Oct. 15.

you’re on your home court, you have
to find a way to win, and we have not
done that consistently.”
Jason dock, a junior in his fourth
season at Nebraska, said this season
was the most disappointing.
“I don’t think we played to our
potential or played like I know we can
play,” dock said. “It was disappoint
ing we didn’t make the NCAA Tour
nament, but then we had another
chance here. This year has just been
kind of frustrating because we’ve been
———————■
so up-and-down.”
But Jaron Boone said that even
though the season was a disappoint
ment, just winning a game in the NIT
would helpnext season when the Husk
ers returned everyone except Melvin
Brooks.
“After the four-game losing streak
at the end of the season, I think it
helped to come back and win one,”
Boone said. “Even though we lost this
game, we still did a lot of good things
that I feel we’re over the hump.”

JNebraska baseball team
splits KSU doubleheader
From Staff Reports
The Nebraska baseball team con

Kansas State Sunday at Manhattan,
Kan.
The Comhuskers are now 13-9 and
2-3 in the Big Eight. Kansas State is 9

The first game went back and forth,
and the Huskers finally pulled away
with four runs in the eighth inning to
take an 15-11 lead. Jonas Armentagot
the win after holding the Wildcats
scoreless over the last four innings.
In the second game, Darin Erstad
gave the Huskers a 5-4 lead in the

run. Erstad hit two home runs in the
doubleheader.
But the Huskers lost the game in
extra innings when pinch-hitter David
Hendrix hit a home run to win it.

Husker swimming, diving coach
hopes for top-10 NCAA finish
By Trevor Parks
Staff Reporter
The NCAA Championships could
be something special for the Nebraska
women’s swimming and divingteams,
Coach Cal Bentz said.
And if Thursday was any indica
tion, Bentz could be right.
Nebraska’s 400-yard medley relay
team of Jane Glazebrook, Penny
Heyns, Mikaela Lauren and Melanie
Dodd advanced to the finals and set a
school-record time of 3:40.65 at the
NCAA Championships in Austin,
Texas.
The Huskers won their heat but had
the second fastest qualifying time of
the day. In the second leg of the med
ley, Heyns swam a59.85 in the breast
stroke.
‘To our knowledge, her mark is the
first time anyone has swam the 100
yard breaststroke under a minute,”
Bentz said. “We feel we’ve got every
thing to win in that event and nothing
to lose, so we’re going after it.”
The Comhuskers began competi
tion at the NCAA Championships
Thursday, and the meet will run
through Saturday.
Nebraska has qualified a school
record 11 swimmers for competition
in 18 of 24 events.
Bentz said his team hadn’t shown
its best performances yet, andhehoped
they would come this weekend.
“This week is precisely the week
for our team to have them,” Bentz
said. “We’re hoping to do what no
other Nebraska swim team has done.”
That would be to finish in the top
10.
The key for this year was qualify
ing 10 swimmers and one diver.
Heyns leads the Husker swimmers,
competing in the 100-yard breaststroke
and 200-yard breaststroke.
Last year Heyns finished second in
the 100 and sixth in the 200.
Bentz said Heyns should be able to
win this weekend if her leading times
in both events were any indication.
Dodd will compete in the the 50
yard, 100-yard and 200-yard freestyle.
Dodd is ranked in the top 10 nation
ally in all three events.
Glazebrook will be looking to im
prove on last year’s NCAA backstroke
performance.
Glazebrook finished 39th in the
100-yard backstroke and 17th in the
200-yard backstroke last year.
Freshman Mikaela Lauren will
compete in the 100-yard and 200-yard
butterfly.
The lone diver, Jennifer Handy,
finished sixth at the Zone D meet last
weekend to qualify for the NCAAs.
Bentz said everyone’s performance
would be important if Nebraska were
to crack the top 10.
