It’s pretty hard, me being left-handed on the right side for it to go over the backboard without me being com pletely out-of-bounds.” Head official Denny Freund called the shot good before Range overturned it. “He (Range) wanted to know if he had the right call,” Freund said. “I said,' If you really feel strongly (that) the ball came from behind the backboard, go with it.’ He obviously was quite sure about it or he wouldn’t have made the call.” Cornhusker senior Erick Strickland wasn’t so sure. “He’s (Range) standing underneath. I don’t see how he can see it. It’s like lie’s trying to take over the game,” Strickland said. “Why wouldn’t I think it was good?” Nee said. “I didn’t think it was even close.” NU Continued from Page 7 Nebraska took a 10-2 lead asjunior forward Tina McClain scored six points and senior center Pyra Aarden hit a Held goal and two free throws.

But Nebraska sophomore guard Jami Kubik hit a 3-pointer and two free throws, and Kansas State was never able to get closer. “I thought her 3 was amajor key for us,” Nebraska coach Angela Beck said. “I think I might have been a little tight right there,'but that 3 really opened it up for us. I felt like we were in pretty good control of this game.” Sherman Continued from Page 7 third overtime and the Huskers trail - ing 105-98. “When I missed those free throws,” Hamilton said, “I was thinking about Las Vegas.” A year ago, Saturday’s game wouldn’t have gone into overtime.

We just didn’t play until the second half.” Hamilton said he expected Ne braska to beat the Sooners by 10 to 20 points. Maybe he was just an innocent freshman who didn’t know what to expect from the Big Eight. Maybe he was a new player, a confident player with the attitude Nebraska needs.

Dancing begins at 5:30pm Frazier passes test in Shrine Bowl win By Trevor Parks Senior Reporter Tommie Frazier had something to prove during the East-West Shrine Game on Saturday afternoon. As an option quarterback at Ne braska, Frazier never had a chance to show off his passing ability to NFL scouts. Playing in a pro-style offensive set in the all-star game for college seniors, Frazier finally got his chance. The former Comhusker, who led Nebraska to two national titles, pro pelled the West squad to a 34-18 victory over the East, completing 1 l-of-20 passes for 162 yards and one touchdown in Palo Alto, Calif. He also added 33 yards rushing and one score on six carries. He was named the offensive player of the game. Frazier, the offensive most valu able player of the Jan. 2 Fiesta Bowl, said Saturday that the Shrine Bowl gave him the opportunity to show off his passing skills. “I’m not the type of player it) brag about myself, but I had a pretty good day,” Frazier said. “1 just did what the coaches asked me to do. We didn’t do anything fancy; we just kept it simple.” . Former UCLA coach and West coach Terry Donahue said Frazier had an outstanding performance. “When I first saw Tommie Frazier, the first day we had him in practice on Monday, I was im pressed with his arm strength and arm speed,” Donahue said. “Somebody’s going to invest in this guy “He’s magical. He’s smart. He knows what to do with the ball. This guy is dangerous.” In the fourth quarter, Frazier showed how dangerous he could be. After struggling through three quarters, Frazier turned the game around with his team trailing 18 13. A 5-yard touchdown run by Frazier, the Huskers’ career leader in touchdowns, made the score 21 - 18 with 10:07 remaining. On that drive, he connected with Fresno State’s Charlie Jones on a 37-yard completion and threw a bullet into the back of the end zone for a two point conversion. With the West leading 28-18, Frazier connected on a 52-yard pass to former UCLA wide receiver Kevin Jordan for the final touch down with 5:56 left. “In the first half, we had a tempo,” Frazier said. “We had no rhythm in the third quarter. When we got the rhythm back, we just got fired up.” COMPLETE 5 & 7 NlGHT TRIPS ■ * I , .; . »j ' "' i~. * PER PERSON DEPENDING ON DESTINATION / BREAK DATES / LENGTH OF STAY. l-SdO-StiNCUASE TOLL FREE INFORMATION & RESERVATIONS OR SURF OVER TO OUR WEB SITE AT: http: / / www.sunchase.com
