Fizer shakes Devanev demons
By Matthew Hansen
Staff writer
Marcus Fizer lounged in his inter
view chair, a contented smile never
leaving his face. Iowa State’s best player
had good reason to be happy.
He had just led his team to a rare Big
12 Conference road win. In a 66-65 vic
tory, Fizer had done so by freeing him
self from a Nebraska defense that had
stifled him in years past.
Had he ever. Fizer had just complet
ed a masterful 26-point, 11-rebound
performance that cemented his reputa
tion as one of the league’s best. The
Cyclone star gave a satisfied laugh to a
reporter who questioned his play
against NU when compared to years
past.
“I showed them what was up
tonight, didn’t I?” he said.
In the opposite locker room,
Nebraska Head Coach Danny Nee said
he was tired of having to deal with Fizer.
“He was clearly the difference in the
game tonight,” Nee said. “He’s a great
player, and he’s improved every year for
them. I hope he goes to the NBA, like,
real soon.”
Fizer’s improvement was on full dis
play during the game. Devaney Center
ghosts and Nebraska defenders past had
harassed him unmercifully in the
Cyclones’ previous two contests in
Lincoln. They had done so to the tune of
10-33 shooting from Fizer, including a
6-21 debacle in last year’s matchup, a
59-57 Nebraska victory.
On Wednesday night, he fought off
a Nebraska defense that increasingly
double-teamed him as the night wore
on. Their effort was mostly futile, as
Fizer repeatedly got the ball in the low
post and scored. He missed only seven
shots in 18 attempts and got to the line
eight times for Iowa State. When he did
n’t receive the ball from a teammate, he
got it off the backboards, leading all
players with 11 rebounds.
Not that Fizer’s play was artistic. It
was much the opposite. The 6-foot-8,
265-pound power-forward consistently
used his bulk to power his way into the
lane past smaller defenders.
He also was in the middle of all low
post action. The game was stopped three
times by referees attempting to calm
Fizer and Nebraska post players Kimani
Ffriend and StefFon Bradford.
“Their team is very physical, and we
couldn’t be as physical as them in places
since this is their home arena, Fizer said.
But I tried to mix it up a little bit when I
could.”
He also pointed to his teammates as
a big part of the success, saying that in
previous years, Nebraska has focused
mostly on him. This year, he said, NU
couldn’t because of the other Cyclones.
When it came down to it, though,
players, coaches and fans alike knew
who was getting the ball for Iowa State
as the minutes dwindled in the second
half. Fizer took six of the Cyclones last
ten shots.
Back in the Nebraska locker room,
point guard Danny Walker said that the
Huskers couldn’t stop Fizer.
“There’s not too much you can do
when he gets going,” Walker said. He’s
just so big and strong...”
Walker’s voice trailed off. He shook
his head. Meanwhile, Iowa State’s best
player was in another part of the arena,
smiling.
Charlotte’s Phills perishes in auto accident
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) —
Charlotte Hornets guard Bobby Phills
was speeding in his Porsche after prac
tice Wednesday when he lost control,
crashed into a car and died instantly.
Stunned teammates and Hornets
officials gathered at the accident scene
less than a mile from the Charlotte
Coliseum, where minutes earlier Phills
and the other players had been practic
ing for Wednesday night’s game with
the Chicago Bulls. The game was post
poned.
Phills, 30, was traveling at a “very
high rate of speed” when he collided
with a car headed toward the coliseum,
police spokesman Keith Bridges said. A
mini-van rear-ended the other car. Two
people in those vehicles were hospital
ized.
Witnesses said teammate David
Wesley, the Hornets’ starting point
guard, also may have been driving too
fast in his own Porsche, according to
police. Bridges said it will be at least
several days before investigators recon
struct what happened.
Phills lost control on a hilly curve
where the posted speed was 45 mph,
said Capt. L.E. Blydenburgh, the crash
investigator. “The skid marks indicate
he was not going in a straight line,” he
said.
Phills’ car, with the vanity plate
“SLAMN,” left skid marks several hun
dred feet long and came to rest in one of
the opposite lanes, Bridges said.
Firefighters had to cut his body from the
wreckage.

7 at Michigan State University.
Ranked No. 3 at 157 pounds,

match 3-2.

and he has only been,taken down
once in dual competition, in which he
is undefeated. He has recorded one

No. 1 and No.2 wrestlers in a dual
meet. Snyder was selected when
No. 1 T.J. Williams of Iowa pulled out
