In fact, Strickland was forced to sit in the locker room while scores were relayed to him after he was ejected in the second half. With Nebraska trailing the Tigers 71-58 early in the second half, Strickland was charged with a techni cal foul fbr an illegal pick. When the senior from Bellevue reacted to the call, he was charged with a second technical and ejected from the con test. “I don’t know,” Strickland said. “He (the referee) told me it was an illegal pick. I didn’t think it was, so I just reacted. Oh, well.” The two technical fouls resulted in Strickland’s fifth and sixth personal fouls of the game. After the game, Strickland said he was not pleased with referee Duane Smith’s calls. “lhat same guy was calling all kinds of stuff on me all night. So I was just like, ‘Whatever.’” ERICK STRICKLAND Nebraska guard “That same guy was calling all kinds of stuff on me all night,” he said, “So I was just like, 'Whatever.’ “I didn’t think it was a foul. It was just the time that he made the call — from the position he made the call — I just didn’t think he could make the call. That’s why I got mad.” Strickland left the game with eight points and two rebounds and shot 4 of-10 from the field. Missouri senior guard Jason Sutherland went to the free-throw line to shoot four technical foul shots after Strickland’s tirade. Sutherland made all four to put the Tigers ahead 75-58. Missouri went on to win the game 99 98. As Sutherland was sinking free i throws^ Strickland came back to the ' Nebraska bench yelling, “My fault, my fault,” as he apologized to team- t mates. Strickland remained on the Husker bench until 11:08 remained in the game, watching Missouri go up 79 63. Duringa media timeout, Strickland retreated to the Nebraska locker room, where he relied on the doorman to keep him posted of the score as Ne braska mounted a comeback. “The doorman would run down here and yell the score back,” Strickland said. “I was real proud of the guys that they came back.” Strickland said he heard that there were a couple more critical calls down the stretch in favor of the Tigers, but he was proud his teammates stayed in the game. “It happens,” he said. “But they played their hearts out and never gave up. They obviously did theright things because they came back.” Brown Continued from Page 9 “We don’t have a strict timetable,” Dungy said. “But we do need to get this decided relatively quickly.” Brown could not be reached for comment. Dungy will leave today for the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, but said he hoped to receive Brown’s de cision within a week. Brown arrived in Tampa Bay, Fla., about 1 p.m. Wednesday afternoon, Dungy said, and spent the day inter viewing and meeting Buccaneer per sonnel, including new Buccaneer of fensive coordinator Mike Shula. Dungy said Brown was well re ceived by other Buccaneer personnel, and the meetings he had with them were positive. “All of our meetings today weren’t long and formal,” Dungy said. “We j ust enj oyed talking to each other and getting to leam each other’s styles.” Nebraska coach Tom Osborne said late Wednesday night he had not talked to Brown. From all he knew, Brown was still an assistant coach for the Comhuskers. Brown has been in charge of the “We don't have a strict timetable. But we do need to get this decided relatively quickly. ” TONY DUNQY Tampa Bay coach Huskers’ receivers since 1987. Dur ing his nine seasons, the Nebraska receiving corps has never been ranked lower than third in the Big Eight in touchdown receptions. Seventeen of Brown ’ s former play ers have gone on to play professional football, including tight end Johnny Mitchell of the New York Jets and Pro Bowl punt returner Tyrone Hughes. Dungy, while he was defensive coordinator with the Kansas City Chiefs, said he first met Brown six years ago in'Lincoln on a recruiting trip. “Ron’s an outstanding coach,” Dungy said. “I have watched him coach for six years, and my knowledge on him comes from specifically accumu lative information I have seen. 1 haven’t talked to people this year about him.” Besides coaching, Dungy said he and Brown had other areas in com mon. Both are about the same age and are very spiritual people. Brown has served as a national spokesman for race reconciliation with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and writes a monthly column in FCA’s national magazine, Sharing the Vic tory. Nebraska recruit J.R. Edwards said Brown played a major role in his deci sion to sign a letter of intent on Wednesday to play for the Huskers. “Coach Brown has always been honest with me and told me there was the chance I could walk right in and play,” Edwards said. Before coming to Nebraska, Brown had been an assistant coach at Brown University from 1984-86 and was the head freshman coach in 1983. He be gan his coaching career in 1982 as a defensive coordinator with the semi pro New Jersey Rams. 'HoutVxinU that f inal exam in \dvanced Calculus is misery?
