Nebraska
rained out
at Classic
From Staff Reports
Action Tuesday at the Pepsi/Johnny
Quik Classic in Fresno, Calif., was N
rained out and will be made up today.
The Nebraska baseball team, 4-12,
will play St. John’s at 6 p.m.
“I can’t say enough good things
about our opponents,” Nebraska coach
John Sanders said last week. “St. John’s
is a traditional power. They have some
dam good ball players. Frank Viola
and John Franco both came out of
there.”
Senior Jason Allen, who held Wyo
ming to just one run on three hits in six
innings last Wednesday, is expected to
start today’s game.
Thursday’s games were canceled
with regularly scheduled matchups to
resume on Friday. Nebraska’s Thurs
day game against Fresno State has
been canceled.
“It all stops and starts with pitch
ing,” Sanders said. “We just need to
get quicker innings so we can have
more rested players to hit and play
defense.”
Friday and Saturday’s games will
be determined by today’s results.
Freshman Seth Williams is expected
to make his second start of the season
for the Huskers on Friday.

ing the ball certainly doesn ’t look like
it’s going to be a problem with him.”
Jackson said he had a difficult time
comparing running backs, but said
i Phillips was one ofthe best he had seen
-• this season. Jackson said he didn't
\ know where Phillips would fit into the
} NFL draft, however.
“I felt he certainly didn’t hurt him
§ self and improved himself,” Jackson
said. “He is not in a situation wherehe
■ needed a great workout for his stock to
} go way up. His stock is already up.”
Nebraska assistant coach Frank
Solich said Phillips showed the same
form evident in the Huskers’ Fiesta
Bowl victory on Jan. 2, which secured
their second straight national title.
3 Phillips rushed for 165 yards on 25 !
carries in Nebraska’s 62-24 win over '
Florida.
“He’s in very good shape right now; 1
he was in excellent shape on Jan. 2,”
Solich said. “It looks like his condi
tioning in California went well. His 1
weight was good and his movement 1
was good, which would indicate he
spent some time getting ready for this.”
Despite being suspended for six
games last season, Phillips ran for 547
yards and averaged 7.7 yards per carry
in five games.
luesaay sworKoutprooaDiywon t
be Phillips’ final one, Frankel said.
Some teams will want to conduct pri
vate workouts.
Along with Phillips, 14 other former
Huskers, including defensive lineman
Christian Peter, Berringer, offensive
lineman Aaron Graham, running backs
Clinton Childs and Jeff Makovicka
and defensive backs Tony Veland and
Tyrone Williams performed a variety
of tests for the scouts.
Several players, not including
Phillips, will continue to test Thurs
day.
Former quarterback Tommie
Frazier, who was released Thursday
from Bryan Memorial Hospital after
being treated for a blood clot in his
right leg, attended the workout but did
not test for the scouts.

North Platte native
eager for NU game
By Gregg Madsen
Staff Reporter <
When the Nebraska basketball
team travels to Fort Collins, Colo.,
to face Colorado State in the first
round oi me Na
tional Invitation
Tournament on
Thursday, one
player in the
Rams’ starting
lineup will be out
to prove some
thing.
Iggjf Joe vogei, a
6-foot-ll Colo
rado State senior
from North Platte, said he was ea
gerly awaiting the 8:30 p.m. contest
and the chance to show Nebraskans
what they have been missing fort he
past four years.
“It’ll be real nice to show them
what I’ve done since I’ve been
here,” Vogel said. “It’s going to be
exciting to see everyone and show
them how much I ’ ve improved since
high school. I would just like to
show them what they could have
had.”
A three-year starter at center for
Colorado State coach Stew Morrill,
Vogel said even though he wasn’t
recruited by Nebraska coach Danny
Nee, he didn’t harbor any bitter
ness toward the Husker program.
“I went to some Husker camps
when I was in high school and talked
to Danny Nee,” he said. “But it was
a year when they were looking for a
6-7 or 6-8 player with a little more
quickness.”
Since deciding to attend Colo
rado State, Vogel has emerged as a
defensive force in the Western Ath
letic Conference, notching eight
career double-doubles.
He holds the Ram record for
career blocked shots with 178, and
he needs only three more blocks
this season to set a new single
- " — —. — .
7 would just like to show
them what they could
have had. ”

Colorado State center
season school record.
After breaking his jaw only five
games into his senior season, Vogel
has came back,to average 10.3
points and 6.6 rebounds per game.
Against Brigham Young on Feb.
8, Vogel scored a career-high 27
points and grabbed 13 rebounds
while shooting nine for nine from
the free-throw line and collecting
five blocked shots.
“I was a little rusty when I first
came back,” he said, “but I think I
really started to get my rhythm back
a couple of games ago.”
While playing for Coach Jim
Edwards at North Platte High
School, Vogel earned all-state hon
ors and helped lead the Bulldogs to
the semifinals of the 1992 state
tournament.
Vogel also played on the Ne
braska Valentino’s All-Star Team
with Husker seniors Erick
Strickland and Terrance Badgett.
“I’m really excited to get to sec
them again,” Vogel said.
“I think that we can match up out
on the perimeter really well. Hope
fully, I can get an advantage inside,
but ofTense isn’t going to decide
this game. Defense is.”
Vogel said he hoped his defen
sive ability would propel him to the
professional level next fall.
“That’s my dream, right there,”
he said. “I’m just out there trying
my hardest. Maybe I’ll go over to
Europe and play, but I guess-we’4l ■
see.” j
antly surprised at the success of his
squads.
“Danny Bergman has really come
on,” Hocking said. “Travis is our se
cret weapon. Kevin and Eric have re
ally solidified us.”
Niemeyer earned co-Big Eight
diver-of-the-year honors. Hocking said
a solid outing in the zone meet should
propel Niemeyer, a second-semester
addition, to the NCAA Championships.
In the conference championships
last month, Rowe place fourth in the 1 -
meter dive and sixth in the 3-meter
event.

said he expected a rebuilding year.
But Travis Niemeyer, Danny
Bergman and Eric Cook have joined
jregory on the men’s side. Freshman
livers Nikki Markota and T.D. Rowe

NIT
Continued from Page 7
NCAA Tournament teams are ranked
lower than 140 in the Ratings Power
Index.
“In the first-round matchups, there
are no mismatches,” Nee said. “There
are a lot of good basketball teams that
are playing in the NIT for one reason
nr another.
“The best 64 teams are not in the
NCAA.”
Among the teams that accepted NIT
bids after narrowly missing the NCAA
Tournament were Providence, Minne
sota, Davidson, Missouri, Fresno State
and Auburn.,
With those teams participating, Nee
said, it was a long shot for his team to
win the tournament. Oklahoma State,
which played in the Final Four last
year, turned down an invitation to par
ticipate.
Last year in the NIT, Nebraska de
feated Georgia 69-61 before losing to
Penn State 65-59 in the second round.
The Bulldogs, 19-9 this year, and the
Nittany Lions, 21-6, both made this
season’s NCAA Tournament.
- Both of those games were in the
Bob Devaney Sports Center, where
Nebraska has had success in the NIT.
At the Devaney Center, the Huskers
are 10-1, but playing on the road is a
different story.
On the road in the NIT, the Huskers
are 0-1 under Nee and 1-5 in games
played away from Lincoln. The last
road loss was a second-tound defeat at
Ohio State 85-74 in the second round
of the 1989 NIT. The Huskers de
feated Creighton 56-54 in Omaha in
the 1984 NIT.
Playing the first game on the road
may give the Huskers an advantage
later in the tournament, Nee said.
No longer can a team play host to
three games in the NIT. In 1987 and
1983, Nebraska played three straight
home games en route to making the
final four in New York.
“We could prove ourselves on the
road and then come back and get a
home game, and be positive when we
come back home,” Nee said. “If you
are going to get a road game, I’d rather
have it at the front end than the back
end.”
But Nee said he saw the NIT as a
way to salvage something in a disap
pointing year.
“Our situation was we had a really
good season going. We were really
rolling along, and then the bottom fell
out,” Nee said. “Now we are trying to
stop the bleeding, turn it around and
make something positive.”
