The senior class was only 3-19 in Big Eight Conference road games before Saturday's visit to Kansas State. Now they are 4-19, despite a Kansas State surge that closed the gap to within two points in the final minutes. "We definitely aren't used to winning on the road," said Fred Hoiberg, who scored 24 points in the 14th-ranked Cyclones' 79-37 conquest of K-State. "Every place in the Big Eight has been a house of horrors for us." At Kansas State, Hoiberg It was the fourth consecutive loss for Kansas State (10-7, 1-4).

After opening their Big Eight season with a 14-point loss at Colorado, the Cyclones (15-2 overall, 2-1 Big Eight) had road wins at Creighton and K-State. Fred Holberg Iowa States senior guard Kevin Sampson drew his on the bench and demanded an attitude adjustment when things were going poorly. "That's not the way we play — make a pass and take a shot," Sampson said. "During the first timeout I asked, 'Who are you guys? What are we doing out here?' "I think our guys are gaining confidence." said "When we started being a little more unselfish, making the extra pass, moving the basketball. I think we became a better team. It got the game at a pace where now we can go play." On Sunday, Bryant Reeves scored 28 points and Randy Rutherford hit for 23 as Oklahoma State beat No.16 Missouri 85-70.

Kansas City, Mo. By Christoph Fuhrmans Kansan sportswriter TOP10 GAMES in brief There is no rest for the weary. No. 7 Kansas will play its third game in six days when the Jaya-hawks face the Nebraska Cornhuskers tonight. However, Nebraska has had four days to prepare for Kansas. Kansas, 13-2 overall and 3-1 in the Big Eight Conference, will play Nebraska, 14-3 and 1-1, at 8:35 p.m. in Allen Field House. Sophomore forward Scot Pollard agreed with Williams. He said Kansas' performance Wednesday against Kansas State was an incentive to do better tonight. "This is the third year in a row we've had some of these things," Kansas coach Roy Williams said of the scheduling. "Nebraska has been off since last Wednesday night and that brothers me because that's a huge advantage." But Williams also said that the Cornhuskers' preparation advantage was not an excuse for Kansas, and that his Jayhawks needed to play well. Then Edgar Padilla missed a three-pointer for Massachusetts, which has a 13-1 record and a 5-0 record in the Atlantic 10, with 18 seconds left. Temple got the ball and called timeout with 14 seconds to play. Levan Alston drove for a layup, but Massachusetts forward Marcus Camby blocked the ball out of bounds with 3.8 seconds remaining and Temple called another timeout. Rick Brinson inbounded the ball under his basket, but Massachusetts knocked it out of bounds with 1.5 seconds to play. "We didn't play last time so we need to play well against Nebraska," he said. Brunson finally managed to get it inbounds to Alston, but Alston was surrounded by Minutemen and his desperation three-point attempt missed badly as the buzzer sounded. Brunson, who sat out the final 16 minutes of the first half with two fouls, scored all 15 of his points in the second half. The Jayhawks hope to extend their conference lead to two games over the Iowa State Cyclones. The Cyclones will play their next conference game against K-State on Saturday. After tonight's game, Kansas will have four days to prepare for its showdown with No. 2 Connecticut on Saturday at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo.
