We were lack adaisical in the first half. We weren’t picking up players, we weren’t rotat ing, and we weren’t talking.” McDill said the Huskers regained their focus in the second half, allowing the Braves to convert on only one of their nine field-goal attempts in the first five minutes. Nebraska pieced together an 18-9 run on the strength of consecutive layups by sophomore Charlie Rogers - who led NU with 17 points and eight rebounds - and a 3 point field goal by senior Anna DeFoige. “I told the team in the locker room that the first five minutes of the second half were going to be the difference in the game,” Freitag said. “It turned out that it did make the difference. I just wish it could have been the other way around.” Nebraska moves on to play its fifth game in two weeks Friday in Arizona at the Insight.com Women’s Classic. If NU defeats Wichita State in the first round, the Huskers will setup a possi ble match up with llth-ranked Arizona. Sanderford said Nebraska is look ing forward to the trip after Wednesday’s game. “We were just happy to get the win and get out of there,” Sanderford said. “There were signs that we had a clue. We had 11 assists, and that’s very good. We just have to play the other end.” Scott McClurg/DN HUSKER GUARD Nicole Kubik passes around Bradley guard Dana Anderson (left) and forward Alexandria Gal in the second half at the Bob Devaney Sports Center Wednesday evening. The Huskers defeated the Braves 80-66. Butler, MSU hope to face Huskers By Andrew Strnad Staff Reporter Volleyball’s version of the “Big Dance” begins tonight, but at the NU Coliseum the fun starts on Friday night when Michigan State plays Butler University in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Nebraska received a first-round bye and will play the winner of Friday night’s match on Saturday night. The Spartans finished the season 22-11 overall and finished tied for fifth at 12-8 in the Big 10 Conference. Michigan State is no stranger to the NCAA Tournament as Head Coach Chuck Erbe, in his fifth sea son, has led the Spartans to four straight tournaments, including a trip to the Regional Finals a year ago. Erbe also took the Spartans to the Final Four in 1995 before bowing out to the Huskers in five games. Butler, on the other hand, will be making its first appearance in the NCAA Tournament. Head Coach Sharon Dingman, in her sixth season, directed Butler to a 28-6 record over all and anll-1 record in the Midwestern Collegiate Conference, leading the Bulldogs to their first MCC title since 1987. The two teams aren’t strangers to J each other, having played this season on September 20"1 with Michigan State winning in three games. Both coaches downplayed the first meeting, saying their teams are entirely different clubs now. “That was probably our worst match of the season in all aspects,” Dingman said. “So we would like to definitely correct that, and I think we have improved greatly since that match.” The Bulldogs will look to senior setter Jennifer Kintzel to help carry the team against the Spartans. Kintzel, the MCC Player of the Year, is among the nation’s leaders in service aces, with 67, and assists, with 12.34 per match. Kintzel aver ages two service aces per match. Erbe and the Spartans have the luxury of two strong attackers in junior outside hitter Jenna Wrobel and senior Veronica Morales. Wrobel averages 5.48 kills per game - good enough for eighth in the nation - yhile Morales led the Big Ten in digs yith 3-58 per game. “We definitely have a strong ittack with Jenna and Veronica, but ve’ve had a lack of balance, and that’s srobably because we have a setter vho’s never played setter before this ^ear,” Erbe said. Whoever wins the match won’t lave much time to prepare for the sec ond round, where seventh-seeded Nebraska will be waiting, a team both Butler and Michigan State have bought about. “This being our first tournament is extremely exciting, and I don’t hink there is a better thrill in volley sail than playing Nebraska in Lincoln,” Dingman said. Elbe said the atmosphere in the col iseum is something that can’t be dupli cated anywhere else in the country. The Spartans played Nebraska wice at the coliseum last year, and some of the players are familiar with he surroundings, but Erbe said that advantage can work both ways. “It’s kind of a 50-50 thing,” Erbe said. “Some of our players know what it’s like, but half of the players are Freshmen and the closest they’ve come to Lincoln, Nebraska, is reading Volleyball Magazine.” A&M seeks triumph, not respect COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) —The Texas A&M Aggies aren’t con cerned about gaining respect when they play No. 2 Nebraska in Saturday VBig 12 Championship Game. They figure they’ve lost that battle already. “A lot ofpeople don’t like A&M, so if we won, they’d say Nebraska had a bad day,” offensive tackle Chris Ruhman said. “In all honesty, people would probably call it a fluke.” The Aggies are 17-point underdogs for Saturday’s game in San Antonio’s Alamodome. But they don’t really care if their victory would be labeled an upset “No one in the country thinks we can win, and that’s fine with me,” Ruhman said. “We’ll try to go out and surprise some people. I just want to be able to walk away from that game and say I gave it my all.” The Aggies are in the title game one year after a disheartening 6-6 finish in their first season in the Big 12. But maturity and improved offense helped A&Mgo 9-2 overall and 6-2 in confer ence play to win the South Division. “At the beginning of the year, no one gave us credit or a chance to win the South Division,” safety Rich Coady said. “Now we’ve won die South and have a chance to win the Big 12 Championship.” Coach R.C. Slocum realizes his Aggies aren’t as respected as the Comhuskers. He sees the game as a chance to earn some recognition. “We’re playing the No. 2 team in the country,” Slocum said. “They made Washington look bad early in the sea son, and Washington is a good team.” Branhdon Stewart, whose improved play at quarterback helped the Aggie turnaround, has seen his team discredited before. “I can understand why people would discredit us playing Nebraska,” Stewart said. ‘Two years ago, they dis credited us in the Alamo Bowl with Michigan (the Aggies won, 22-20). From my standpoint, I feel we are capa ble of giving ourselves a chance to win.” Although the Cornhuskers are almost always capable of running away with the game, the Aggies believe they’ve learned a lesson from last year’s humiliation of losing 51-15 to the Longhorns.
