NIT Continued from Page 7 Slowing the backcourt of Evans and Bobby Sellers is important to Nebraska’s hopes of winning Thurs day, Nee said. The Rams average 78 points per game and like to push the ball. De spite averaging only 69.4 points per game in their last 13 games. Nee said, the Huskers still like to fast-break, too. “They get the ball up and down the floor,” Nee said. “We still want to run, but we’ve instituted a half-court ex ecution, and we feel we’re pretty good at it.” The Huskers lost 78-64 to Colorado in Boulder on Feb. 28. The Buffaloes are the lone common opponent be tween Nebraska and Colorado State. Colorado State beat the Buffaloes 91-71 on Dec. 6 in Fort Collins. In Nebraska’s other game against Colo rado, the Huskers won 79-74 in Lin coln. The Rams’ inside game features Joe Vogel, a native of North Platte, who averages 2.3 blocks per game. Nee said Vogel had matured since 1992, when Nee asked Vogel to walk on at Nebraska. “Vogel had a great shot,” Nee said. “He had a beautiful touch, soft hands. All he had to work on was his physi cal strength. Now he’s probably made himself into a second-round draft choice.” Coaches take aim at Iowa By Antone Oseka Staff Reporter On Thursday, five Division I coaches discussed how to beat Dan Gable at his own game—wrestling. Too bad he was listening. Gable, coach of defending na tional champion Iowa, talked about the upcoming NCAA Champion ships with Bobby Douglas of Iowa State, John Smith of Oklahoma State, Tim Neumann of Nebraska, Tom Minkel of Michigan State and J Robinson of Minnesota. The NCAA Wrestling Champi onships will be held March 21-23 at the Target Center in Minneapo lis. The coaches, all but Gable, dis cussed how to overtake the seem ingly invincible Hawkeyes. “Looking at the points, it’s Iowa against the field,” said Neumann, whose Comhuskers qualified wres tlers in nine out of 10 weight classes. Minkel said he saw the NCAA Championships as a chance to beat Iowa. “Nobody in the tournament is in vincible,” he said. Minkel’s Spartans were beaten by Iowa at the Big Ten Champion ships last Sunday. “It’s an unbelievable field out there this year,” Gable said. That field includes Oklahoma State, which also qualified nine wrestlers for the NCAA Champi onships. Cowboy coach Smith said he knew what it took to beat the Hawkeyes. Oklahoma State won the national championship in 1994. “Iowa has done a good job, but let’s not forget about the other teams out there,” Smith said. It seems a lot of people out there forget that there are other wrestling teams in the NCAA Champion ships, he said. Douglas said Nebraska, Minne sota, Michigan State and his Iowa State team had made the sacrifices needed to get to the Hawkeyes’ level. “In the near future, six or seven teams will be able to win the na tional title,” Douglas said. “We’re gaining ground on the premier pro gram.” That premiere program is Iowa. “We want to challenge the very best,” Minkel said. Robinson, who is a former as sistant coach under Gable at Iowa, said the idea that Iowa was too dominant was “a bunch of malarkey.” “Everybody would love to be there; everybody inspires to be there,” he said. “A lot of people wouldn’t want to do the work that Iowa does.” Many teams have done the work Iowa does and are ready to chal lenge them for the title. Douglas said the Hawkeyes had better be ready. The nation’s second- and third ranked teams, Oklahoma State and Nebraska, will be ready if the Hawkeyes make a mistake, the coaches said. “This year is wide open and ex citing,” Douglas said. “Iowa can’t slip, or they could all be in there for a big dog fight.” NU swings toward Big Eights By Jason Brunz Staff Reporter The Nebraska men’s golf team is looking at a solid spring season after placing in the top 10 in its first two tournaments of the season. The Comhuskers tied for seventh place in the Stephen F. Austin-Crown Colony Invitational in Lufkin, Texas, last month. Nebraska recorded scores of 315,300 and 313 in the 54-hole competition, outscoring Big Eight opponents Missouri and Kansas State. Junior TVent Morrison led scoring for the Huskcrs by shooting a 234 in Lufkin. Nebraska went on to finish third out of 24 teams in the Ben Hogan/Fripp Island Invitational in Fripp Island, S.C., last weekend. The Huskers finished the three-day event with a cumulative score of 894. They were led by freshman Josh Mad den , who scored a 219 and tied for fifth place. With the rest of the spring season ahead of them, Coach Larry Romjue said he hoped the Huskers could use the next few competitions as building blocks to the more important tourna ments later in the year. * “I think we’re on track,” Romjue said. “We need to do well in the last two tournaments.” The road to the May 16-18 NCAA Rcgionals in Ann Arbor, Mich., will be paved by the Huskers’ top five golf crs, Romjue said. Morrison led Nebraska’s fall sea son, averaging 75.3 strokes per round in five tournaments with two top 10 finishes. The junior from Brisbane, Australia, is ranked third on the squad. Madden, from Gold Coast, Austra lia, has risen to first place on the team after the spring tournaments. Sophomore Ryan Nietfeldt is sec ond on the team after ending the fall season with a 75.5 average. Romjue said the upcoming Waterwood Invitational in Huntsville, Texas, March 18-19 would be Nebraska’s last warm-up tournament of the season. The Big Eight Champi onships will be held April 22-23 in Hutchinson, Kan. . ■' .. ' ... ■■■■ 10-run spurt seals win for Huskers By David Wilson Staff Reporter Sparked by a 10-run fourth inning, the Nebraska baseball team improved to 5-12 after defeating St. John’s 19-6 Wednesday night at the Pepsi/Johnny Quik Classic in Fresno, Calif. Third baseman Craig Moore gave Comhuskcrs a 4-2 lead after hitting his second home run of the season in the fourth inning. St. John’s pitcher Vito Vassallo then allowed the next three Husker hitters to reach base loading the bases for outfielder Matt Meyer. Meyer hit a grand slam to right cen ter —his second home run of the game and sixth of the season — to give Ne braska an 8-2 lead. Meyer finished with two hits in four at-bats with three runs scored and a career high six RBIs. Outfielder Mel Motley, who fin ished with a team high three hits, smacked a one-out double down the right field line and scored on first baseman Todd Sears’ single to left. After two walks, the bases were loaded again for catcher Pete Jenkins, who knocked in a run with a single. Second baseman Corey Miller was credited with an RBI after being hit by a pitch for the second time in the inning. Miller, who has been beaned five times in the last four games, has been drilled a team high 13 times this sea son. Collins knocked in the 10th run of the inning on a fielder’s choice, giv ing the Huskers a 12-2 lead. Senior Jason Allen started on the mound for the Huskers and allowed six runs on eight hits in 4 2/3 innings pitched. Peter Lythgoc finished the inning and was awarded the win. Nebraska added seven runs in the fifth inning, powered by Moore’s sec ond home run of the game, to give the Huskers a 19-6 lead. The game ended due to a time limit in at the end of seven innings.
