Weekend
WraP *9USfe
The Nebraska women’s basketball
team had a disappointing weekend,
losing two conference games on the
road.
The Comhuskers, 15-8 overall and
5-6 in the Big Eight, lost to Kansas
State 81-75 in Manhattan, Kan., Fri
day night. Nebraska also was beaten
by Kansas 94-85 Sunday in Lawrence,
Kan., despite a career-high 38 points
from Kate Galligan.
Galligan recorded the highest total
scored by a Husker since Karen
Jennings scored 39 points against
Oklahoma in 1992.
Galligan also broke the Nebraska
record with 134 career 3-pointers, sur
passing Amy Stevens’ mark of 129.
Coach Angela Beck said she was
pleased with Nebraska’s effort against
Kansas, which made 31-of-31 free
throws.
“I think that there is such a thing
as a moral victory,” Beck said. “We
got that today.”

Consistency was the focus of
the Nebraska women’s gymnas
tics team’s practices last week.
On Friday night, that focus
paid off as the seventh-ranked
Cornhuskers defeated No. 19
Boise State 194.25-189.85.
Friday night’s mark tied the
third-best score in school history,
and is the top score ever recorded
in the regular season.
“We can go up from here,”
Nebraska coach Dan Kendig
said. “But how they performed
is just a tribute to their desire to
excel.”
Junior Shelly Bartlett won her
third all-around title of the sea
son with a 39.175, the second
highest score of her career.
Joy laylor won tne vauu wun
a 9.825 and the uneven bars with
a 9.8, taking the early lead in the
all-around.
But Bartlett took over when
she scored a 9.85 on the balance
beam. Taylor, who finished sec
ond in the all-around with a
38.385, followed Bartlett on the
beam with a 9.475.
Nebraska’s best team perfor
mance of the night came on the
floor exercise, where they hit 6
of-6 routines, sewing a 49.05.
“Our floor was absolutely in
credible tonight,” Kendig said.
“All six of them just went out and
rocked.”
Freshman Misty Oxford
sprained an ankle on die bars and
was replaced by Jessica Swift,
who scored career bests in three
events.

clones, is second in the Big Eight in scoring
behind Oklahoma’s Ryan Minor.
“It seemed like the basket was getting big
ger and bigger every time I let the ball go,” he
said.
After Iowa State went the first 3:22 of the
game without scoring, Willoughby said he took
it upon himself to increase the team’s intensity.
At the 12:44 mark, Willoughby hit his first
3-pointer of the afternoon, tying the score at
six. Then Willoughby gave the Cyclones their
largest lead of the first half when he drained a
3-pointer from the top of the key at the 3:16
mark to make the score 27-18.
In the second half, Willoughby was 3-of-6
from 3-point range. When Nebraska cut the
Cyclone lead to 12 points, Willoughby re
sponded by scoring seven points in the next
minute and a half to extend the Cyclone lead to
18. Nebraska never recovered.
“Willoughby was terrific,” Iowa State coach
Tim Floyd said, “not just offensively, but de
fensively as well, and also in terms of leader
ship.”
A year ago, Willoughby wasn’t even play
ing basketball. After a medical redshirt in his
freshman year at New Orleans, he averaged 10.8
points per game in 1993-1994.
But he decided to leave New Orleans, where
he was coached by Floyd, and attend Indian
Hills Community College in 1994-95. Floyd left
New Orleans to coach at Iowa State in 1994.
“That year off kind of helped me,”
Willoughby said, “because I found myself and
found out what I wanted to do.”
He said what he wanted to do was play for
Floyd again. The friendship that developed be
tween the two was what drew Willoughby to
Ames, Iowa.
“I came solely because of Floyd,” he said. “I
never wanted to play for anybody else.”

Husker guard Tom Wald said Nebraska
needed to take advantage of the Cyclones’ slow
start.
“We held them to one point, and if you can’t
score yourself, you’re not going to beat them,”
Wald said.
In the second half, things remained the same.
Lue scored the first points of the half to cut
the deficit to 31-25, but with the score 39-30,
the Cyclones ran away.
Iowa State scored 20 of the next 30 points to
take its biggest lead of the game at 59-40 with
8:26 remaining.
Nebraska scored seven straight points to pull
to 5947, but the Cyclones scored seven con
secutive points in less than a minute to seal the
victory.
After the game, Nee and the Huskers held a
five-minute meeting, at which time both the
coach and his players vented their frustrations.
As nine reporters and four team managers stood
outside the locker room, Nee and center Mikki
Moore were among those heard raising their
voices.
Moore said everyone was playing like indi
viduals, and Nee challenged the team by ask
ing, “What are you going to do about it?”
After Nee left the locker room to speak with
the media, the team met for another five min
utes.
Venson Hamilton, who did not play Satur
day because he missed practice on Friday, said
the postgame meeting was greatly needed.
But Nee said nothing good came out of the
Huskers’ fourth straight loss to Iowa State.
“They have unraveled,” Nee said. “Now we
have to try and put it back together.”

“There’s a lot of bickering amongst them,”
said Iowa State’s Dedric Willoughby, a shoo-in
for All-Big Eight honors in his first season as a
Cyclone. v -
Husker freshman Venson Hamilton, who
along with newcomers Bernard Gamer and
Tyronn Lue, has been a bright spot in a dark
season, but did not play against Iowa State. Nee
said Hamilton was benched for missing prac
tice.
Hamilton said he was in class during prac
tice. Something doesn’t sound right with those
reports. We aren’t hearing the whole story.
But at this point, it doesn’t even matter.
