LINCOLN, Neb. — Tom Alfaro hit an 18-foot jumper with three seconds last night to lift Kansas State to a 41-39 upset victory over Nebraska in the first round of the Big Eight Conference Post-Season Tournament.
Kansas State, which defeated Nebraska for the first time in three outings, improved to 14-14. The Wildcats will meet Kansas in the second round tomorrow at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo.
The tip-off is scheduled for 9:30 p.m.
Nebraska had beaten the Wildcats earlier in the season, 63-56, in Lincoln and 47-46 in Manhattan on a follow shot from Smith. Smith with five seconds remaining.
Alfaro's game-winner shot last night was set up when Kansas State stole a pass by Nebraska's David Ponce with 20 seconds left while the Huskers were trying to hold the ball for the tie-breaking basket.
Junior guard Alfaro and Jim Roder shared game-high scoring honors with 12 points each in sparking the Wildcats to a 7-0 loss, erased a 24-16 Nebraska halftime lead.
The Huskers' first-ball charge was led by sophomore All-Big Eight center Dan Kravetz.
However, a collapsing zone defense held Hoppen to one point in the second hour.
Senior forward Stan Cloudy led the Nebraska scoring with 12 points.
Nebraska stayed on top until the final 7:17 when the Wildcats took a 35-33 lead on an Alfaro jumper.
Cloudy's last-second desperation shot was off the mark. The Huskers fell to 17-11.
Kansas State coach Jack Hartman said Alfaro's winning shot "couldn't have been designed any better on the board."
"It was a heck of a win for us," Hartman said. "I'm really proud of our second half."
While the Wildcats move on to the second round, Nebraska Coach Moe Iba must wait for word on a possible National Invitational Tournament bid.

OU's Tisdale named top Big Eight player
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Sophomore center Wayman Tisdale, who has broken the league single-season scoring record in each of his two seasons at Oklahoma, was selected yesterday as the 1984 Big Eight Player of the Year by United Press International.
By United Press International
Tisdale was the unanimous choice by UPI's select media voting panel for the award after leading the Big Eight in both scoring and rebounding for the second straight year. The 6-foot-9 Tulsa, Oka., native averaged 26.6 points and 9.8 rebounds a game to help Oklahoma win its first Big Eight title since 1979.
The 900 points Wilt Chamberlain scored for Kansas during the 1965-67 season had been the Big Eight record for 25 years before Tisdale posted 810 points as a freshman during the 1982-83 season. And this season Tisdale has been even more productive, scoring 830 points heading into the Big Eight Post-Season Tournament.
came in the flow of the offense and off a lot of offensive rebounds. If he hadn't had such a slow start that night — he missed some easy ones early and had only 24 points at the end, and he was having been sitting on a 75-point game."
Tisdale was the No. 2 scorer and rebounder on the gold medal-winning United States team at the 1983 Pan American Games and clearly benefited from a summer of American practice sessions with agile and aggressive teams, Michael Jordan of North Carolina, Michael Cage of San Diego State, Charlie Sitton of Oregon State and Greg Stokes of Iowa.
Tisdale has scored in double figures in each of Oklahoma's 31 games so far this season to extend his career-long string of doublefigure games to 64. In addition to his 61-point game in December, Tisdale tapped 30 points on 13 occasions, including a 33-point performance on national television against Syracuse.
"Wayman has great natural abilities," said Kansas State coach Jack Hartman, who also coached the U.S. Pan Am team.
Baseball team prepares for the road
Tisdale also broke another long-standing Chamberlain record this season when he scored 61 points in a game against Texas-San Antonio. Chamberlain's 52-point effort against Northwestern in 1966 had stood as the conference mark for 26 years.
'Hawks open with ORU today
"I don't know if his talent is any better than it was a year ago," Tubbs said. "But he has another year of maturity. The Pan American experience helped him — not just the games but the practice sessions against some of our country's best players. He's always been an easy guy to coach; Wayman will do what you ask him. Then he'll take his share of the load — and it's a lion's share."

The Kansas Jayhawk baseball team, 4-1 on the season, will begin a swing to the Southwest when it faces Oral Roberts University at 1 p.m. today in Tuva. Left-hander Charles Buhler is expected to be KU's starting pitcher.
Eastern Michigan, Maine and Oklahoma are in the tournament along with Pan American and KU. The Jayhawks will play double-headers against every team except Oklahoma. KU will meet the Sooners in a single game.
The Jayhawks will play Northeastern Oklahoma State tomorrow in Tahquach before heading to Edinburgh or the Pan-American Tournament.
The Jayhawks will wind up the road
trip in a double-header against
against the MAW Marmot.
KU head coach Marty Pattin said the Pan-Am tournament would give him a lot better idea of what his regular lineup would be this season.
"Wayman plays every game above and beyond the call of duty." Oklahoma coach Bill Cullen looks to easy. In the game he scored 61, his baskets
"Right now I'm looking at a team on which I not afraid to use anybody in my team," she said.
"We're trying to give everybody as much experience as possible."
Shortstop Joe Heeney, right fielder John Hart and catcher Rob Thomson have started every game for the Jayhawks so far, but Pattin has tried more than one player at the other positions.
Phil Doherty and Dan Christie have platooned at first base. Christie has played third base when Doherty has been in the lineup.
Tough action is scheduled for KU tennis
Scott Jones and Chuck Christenson have also seen action at third base, where most of the Jayhawk errors have come this season.

The Kansas men's and women's tennis teams, which haven't seen much action so far, will get their feet wet with the West Coast during spring break.
The men's team, 2-3 on the season, will compete in the University of Nevada-Las Vegas Michelob Lite Tournament tomorrow and Saturday at the University of San Diego, Long Beach State and New Mexico in dual matches next week.
The women's team, 1-1 on the season,
will travel to Honolulu for the University of Hawaii Invitational, scheduled for March 11-15.
The lineup for the men's team will be Mike Wolf at No. 1 singles, followed by Michael Center, Jim Syrtre, Charles Cappolino and Alexander and Franco Cappolino.
Wolf and Center will pair up for No. 1 doubles, Syrett and Stearns will make up the No. 2 team and Alexander and Cacioppoilln will play No. 3 doubles.
The lineup for the women's team will be Laura Runnels at No 1 singles, followed by Barbara Inman, Beth Benton and Arrr, Janel Bolen and Stefanie Dicke
In doubles play, Inman and Parr will be the No. 1 team, Runnels and Dicke will be in the No. 2 spot and Bolen and Bregin will be in the No. 3 spot.
KU coach Scott Perealman said the alternate players on the men's and the women's teams, John Cochrane and Bobbie Coleman, would also see action.
"The only thing we can do is improve, and I'm confident we will." Perelman said of the men's team's chances in the season. "We're just not in last in the six队, tournament last year.
Five teams will be in the round-robin tournament this year, including Fresno State, San Diego State and Weber State in addition to KU and UNLV.
Perealm said he thought the toughest dual match for the men's team would be at Long Beach State The team was playing Pepperdine earlier in the season.
"This trip will be comparable to the spring trip we had last year, except that I don't think the UNLV tourney will be quite as strong." Perelman said.
Arizona State, Northern Iowa, Utah and Cal-State Northridge will be in the women's round-robin tournament, along with Hawaii and KU.
Erickson beats Thetas, 54-25 to claim 4th straight Hill title
By JEFFREY SHON BARENKLAU Sports Writer
A basketball tradition continued last night at the University of Kansas, and it did not involve Larry Brown or Marian Washington.
It involved a team known as Erickson Trucking. The team won its fourth straight Women's Hill Championship by defeating Kappa Alpha Theta, 54-25.
"Being in shape helps," said Lori Erickson, four-year starter for the team and a starter for the KU volleyball team.
All seven players on Erickson's Trucking, sponsored by Erickson's father, Robert Erickson Sr., Perry, have competed for KU in an organized program either on the volleyball, softball or swimming team.
Erickson said quickness, hustle and rebounding power were the keys to their last four undefeated seasons.
Hustle and rebounding allowed Erickson to score 18 points before the shorter Theta team could get on the ball in minutes, 30 seconds left in the first half
The Erickson team extended its halflead time to 26-8, but the Theta team came out early in the second half good outside shooting to cut the lead.
Amy Friessen, Prairie Valley sophe more, hit a couple of quick jumpers for the Theta, but Leslie Loyd, Farmington, N.M., senior, moved inside for Erickson and scored 12 second-half points. The Erickson team of another title.
Loyd led all scores with 14 followed by Jill Stinson's 12.
