  OUTMANNED HORNETS THROW SCARE AT NU
  --------- ------- ----- ----- -- --

Linclon - The Nebraska basketball team, looking for some home cooking Wednesday
night after three straight road games, instead got some home criticism. A
smattering of boos and occasional laughter from a season-low Bob Devaney
Sports Center crowd of 10,641 greeted the Huskers' mistakes during an 86-70
victory over Sacramento State. The opponents, ranked 293rd of 298 Division I
teams in USA Today's computer ratings, fell to 1-17. But not after scaring
12-5 NU by cutting a 13-point first-half deficit to four points and slashing a
12-point second-half deficit to five with 11:17 to play. "When you're playing
a team that's 1-16," NU Coach Danny Nee said, "no matter how you put it, it's
not a big game for Nebraska." Then grabbing his coat and striding out of his
shortest postgame press conference of the season, Nee added: "To make a big
story out of a (two expletives deleted) game is crazy. It was ugly." Nee said
he didn't hear any booing. But forward Bruce Chubick, who scored six of his
team high 15 points to help the Huskers turn a 59-54 lead into a 67-54
advantage, did. "I felt like booing myself a bunch of times," said Chubick,
who added seven rebounds and two steals. "A couple of shots I shot were
stupid. When we see ourselves playing like that, we've got to be strong enough
to smack ourselves in the head a couple of times and say, 'Hey, we look
awful.'" Nebraska played without leading scorer Eric Piatkowski, who is
recovering from a viral infection. Freshman Terrance Badgett had 14 points,
six rebounds and three assists in Piatkowski's place. But he wasn't happy with
the result, which included seeing Sacramento State come within one point of
its season high and stay close enough that NU's four walk-ons -- expected to
play early -- didn't enter until the final 52 seconds. "We underestimated
Sacramento because of their recored," Badgett said. "We can't do that. We
can't think just because they are 1-16 that they won't play hard. They wanted
to upset us. We got scared for a minute there. We thought they were."
Nebraska's admitted lack of focus showed from the beginning. After six minutes,
the Huskers had more turnovers (seven) than points (six). Chubick's
three-point play and a Badgett layup helped Nebraska go ahead 19-6 with 9:44
left in the first half. But with 4:39 to go, Sacramento State had closed to
29-24. When Nee called time, some fans booed. The Hornets got within four at
30-26 with 4:14 left. But when they missed two dunk shots and blew a layup in
the final two minutes of the half, Nebraska scrambled to go up 41-31 at
halftime. Sacramento State coach Don Newman was proud of the effort of his
team, which on the average was three inches shorter than NU at each position.
"People have taken stabs at us everywhere we've gone," the first year coach
said. "But our kids play with their hearts and they play hard every
possession." The Hornets, who shot just 35.1 percent from the field, played
hard enough to score on eight straight possessions early in the second half.
That helped them cut a 46-35 deficit to 57-52. After Sacremento State stayed
within five points with 11:17 left, Chubick went to work. His free throw and
three-point play put NU ahead 63-54. Three possessions later, Chubick stole a
pass and got the ball to Andre Woolridge, who returned it to Chubick for a
dunk and a 67-54 lead with 9:16 to play. Sacramento State never got closer
than 10 points after that. "They could have ruined our season and made
their's," said NU Center Derick Chandler, who had nine points and 11 rebounds.
Chubick said facing a weak non-conference foe after Big Eight play has started
isn't easy. But he said "marquee" teams know how to handle such situations.
"When they get a team in like that, they destroy them by 50," he said.
"Instead of us raising our level and detroying them, we played with them. If
things had worked out a little different, we may have gotten beat."
