Sports Signals Wednesday, February 11, 1976 The Lincoln Star 47 By Bob Owens Star Editor Fouls Deciding Games Despite what Nebraska coach Joe Cipriano says about what he considers improved officiating, free throws still are playing an important part in the result of basketball games played by Big Eight Conference schools. Cipriano said Monday he thought officiating in the conference is improved over recent years because of the work of Bernie Saggau, the new Big Eight supervisor of basketball officials. Bernie has had a lot to do with getting things he said. we have some good new officials in the Cipriano said he hasn't heard any complaints of coaches about technical fouls being called over bench decorum and that generally the officials have succeeded in keeping good control of the games. It is interesting to note that in Nebraska's only loss of the conference season the Buskers were outscored at the foul line 18-7 by Missouri while getting three more field goals than the Tigers.

Nebraska has won two games in which the opponents scored more field goals. Kansas had nine more than the Huskers, but was outscored 25-4 at the foul line. Colorado scored five more baskets but was outshot 26-14 from the free throw line. An interesting note about Kansas The Jayhawks have suffered six of their nine losses at the free throw line. been guilty of a staggering 377 personal fouls and had 25 men foul out of games.

Opponents have scored 82 more points than Kansas at the foul line, exactly offsetting the advantage of 41 more field goals the Jayhawks have made. Both the KU and point totals are 1,222 for 64.3 point a game averages. Catching Up On Sports Nebraska has made 33 more free throws than seven Big Eight opponents and has been outscored from the field by 12 points. Only four Huskers have fouled out once each for Jem Fort, Larry Cox, Steve Willis and Allen Holder. Oops! Nebraska signed just one high school football prospect Tuesday, rather than two as was announced early in the morning.

The signee was tackle Calvin Anderson, from Minneapolis, Minn. Signals got mixed up in the football office, it seems. Guard Mike Evans, who led Kansas State's upset victory over Missouri and scored a career high 31 points in a win over Oklahoma State, has been voted Big Eight player-of-the-week Evans earned the award, however, for his defense on Willie Smith, who was held to seven baskets in 17 attempts, and on OSU's Ronnie Daniel, who hit just five of 17 from the field. Kentucky, finalist last year to UCLA in the NCAA tournament, is 5-6 in the Southeastern Conference and tied for fith place The loss to Georgia Monday night was only the ninth to the Bulldogs in illustrious basketball history. When Jack Hartman of Kansas State won his 250th major college basketball game, he remarked: it really does is remind you how long you have been He is in his 14th season at a major school.
