Erdmann shines for Sooners
By David Wilson
Staff Reporter
The Oklahoma basketball team ral
lied from a 15-point deficit in the sec
ond half of Sunday’s game to beat
Nebraska with little help from Ryan
Minor, the Big Eight’s leading scorer
and defending player of the year.
After a 16-point performance in
the first half, Minor, who averages
21.8 points per game, was held to four
points after halftime.
Sunday’s game marked just the
sixth time this season the senior for
ward had scored more points in the
first half than in the second half. The
Comhusker defense put more pres
sure on Minor in the second half, he
said, allowing other players to step up.
Forward Nate Erdmann stole a
pass from Nebraska guard Erick
Strickland in the final seconds of the
second half to solidify a 65-65 tie and
send the game into overtime, where
Oklahoma prevailed 80-76. Erdmann
broke the tie with a 3-pointer to be
gin the overtime period.
“All of our guys were playing
hard,” Minor said. “We’re not a one
man team. The rest of our guys were
making big plays.” .
i
i ne aooners, i o-iu overall ana /
5 in the Big Eight with games remain
ing against Oklahoma State and Kan
sas, are now in good position to earn
a bid to the NCAA Tournament.
Erdmann, a 6-foot-5, 210-pound
junior from Portales, N.M., finished
Sunday’s game with 23 points and
seven rebounds. In the first half, he
was held to two points and no re
bounds, prompting Sooner coach
Kelvin Sampson to seek out Erdmann
at the half.
“I wasn’t prepared to play in the
first half,” Erdmann said. “I was just
out there sleepwalking. I was chewed
out pretty good at halftime.”
Sampson said he was disappointed
with Erdmann’s first-half perfor
mance.
“1 challenged him,” Sampson said.
“I said, 'We need you to step up and
play.’And he did.”
Erdmann woke up in the second
half, hitting three 3-pointers and scor
ing 15 points, including a 3-point shot
with 22 seconds remaining in regula
tion, to give the Sooners a two-point
lead.
“Coach wants me to shoot more,
but I’m definitely not going to start
forcing shots,” Erdmann said. “If I’m
-1
going to take a snot, i want to make
sure I can make it.”
Erdmann, who has started in 25 of
26 games for the Sooners this season,
shot 8 of 13 from the field, upping his
shooting percentage to a team high
53.5 percent. Erdmann also is tied with
Minor for the team lead in assists.
After redshirting in 1992-93,
Erdmann was coached by Sampson
for one season at Washington State.
He transferred to Hutchinson (Kan.)
Community College for his sopho
more season with the intent of play
ing for Sampson at Oklahoma his fi
nal two seasons.
At Hutchinson, Erdmann led the
team in scoring, rebounding and steals
as a sophomore before coming to
Oklahoma this season.
He was named Big Eight player of
the week last week after scoring a ca
reer-high 27 points in a 119-88 vic
tory over Colorado on Feb. 17.
Judging from his numbers,
Erdmann’s performances have had a
major impact on the outcome of
Oklahoma’s games this year. In
Oklahoma’s 16 wins this season,
Erdmann is averaging 14.8 points per
game. In the Sooners’ 10 losses, he is
averaging 9.3 points.

Koziol
Continued from Page 7
In the Huskers’ dual with No. 2
New Mexico on Feb. 18, Koziol won
the all-around, setting personal bests
in floor exercise (9.35), pommel horse
(9.7) and rings (9.65). But he said he
was slightly disappointed with his ca
reer-high 56.6 performance against the
Lobos.
“I still have the chance to go for a
57, though,” he said. “I just want to
keep improving every meet, and I
know I have a lot of areas to improve
in.”
Strength and flexibility are two ar
eas in which Koziol needs to improve,
Allen said.
Koziol, who has been Nebraska’s
most consistent all-arounder this sea
son, said he spent last summer work
ing on those two things.
“I spent a lot of time in the weight
room,” Koziol said. “It really improved
my strength.”
The added strength has helped
Koziol improve his scoring in almost
every meet this season. In last Friday’s
dual at No. 3 Iowa, he had a career
high 9.75 in the pommel horse and fin
ished third in the all-around with a
56.5.

Oklahoma State coach Eddie
Sutton, whose team is 15-9 and 5-7,
said this year’s Big Eight was the best
conference in which he had ever
coached.
“The bottom half is so strong,”
Sutton said. “It’s a very good league.
It’s tough especially on the road play
ing in front of full houses.”
