You catft really count them out" Ffriend said it was up to unheralded teammates to step up their play in his absence, an absence that was exposed by ISU senior guard JamaalTinsety in the late going. With no Ffriend inside to block shots, Tlnsely consistently took the ball to the hoop en route to a career high 29 points. "We know that everyone has to play that much harder with Kimani being out,” Augustine said. "He gives us a lot of room for error."

"Some guys melt when it gets tough,” he said. “He just gets tougher.” In a game marred by 50 personal fouls, NU Coach Barry Collier said the lack of aggressiveness on his team's part and a closely-called game eventually led to the loss. "The foul trouble and the free throws really gave them a chance to set their defense each time,” Collier said. “They made their free throws and gained an advantage.” Iowa State made 35 of 43 free throws, compared to 10 of 15 for Nebraska.
