"Especially without Wayne we don't have that depth in the front to begin with," Williams said. "But Chris Zerbe came in and gave us a couple minutes and held us in there for a while."
"It was a time to get in and to show Coach what I can do." Zerbe said. "The most important thing is we got to work on our offense and our defense and pushing hard."
parking Zerbe had played against Pittsburg State senior guard Jeff Willms while at Hutchinson Community College and against senior guard Max Ruark while in high school.

Wizards defeat Sixers
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — This was what Michael Jordan expected from his teammates.
A night after saying his team "stinks," Jordan scored 30 points and Richard Hamilton added 28, leading the Washington Wizards to a 94-87 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers last night.
Allen Iverson scored 40 points and Derrick Coleman added 15 for the Sixers. The defending Eastern Conference champions have lost two straight after winning seven in a row.
Washington won for just the second time in its last 10 games.
"I think they felt the need to come out and play hard." Jordan said. "We found a way to play solid basketball and guys made shots.
"It's important to come out
this way every night. It doesn't matter if it's Cleveland or Philadelphia. The effort should be there every night. That's what was disappointing about Cleveland is we didn't have this type of effort. This is something we have to continue to build on."
Following Tuesday night's 94-75 loss at Cleveland, Jordan ripped his teammates for their lack of urgency and lackluster play on defense.
"I don't see anyone covering my back as everyone probably expected me to cover theirs," Jordan said.
The Wizards couldn't stop Iverson, especially in the first half when he scored 27 points. But they shut down the rest of the Sixers, and Jordan scored Washington's last 14 points in the second quarter as the Wizards trailed 50-47 at halftime.
A 9-0 run early in the third gave Washington its first lead
since the opening minutes. Hamilton had six points during the spurt, including a 12-footer that made it 60-58.
Philadelphia didn't get closer than five points the rest of the game.
The Sixers went more than four minutes without a point in the fourth and the Wizards opened an 87-76 lead with 4:13 left, capped by consecutive jumpers from Jordan and Hamilton. A free throw by Jordan made it 88-76 with 2:58 left.
Jordan came in shooting just 40.2 percent — a career-low. He went 11-of-27 from the floor, 8-of-10 on free throws and had seven assists and six rebounds.
Iverson scored 17 points in the first quarter, including 12 straight at one point. All of the points except two free throws came on jumpers, including three 3-pointers.
North Carolina loses again
The Associated Press
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. North Carolina has dug itself an unthinkable hole it still believes it can escape from.
The Tar Heels started 0-5 for the first time in 73 years as Indiana got clutch play from A.J. Moye and Tom Coverdale for a 79-66 win in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge last night.
"I'm excited about this team and that may sound sick to you guys because we're 0-3," North Carolina coach Matt Doherty said. "But we've got some great kids in that locker room that busted their tails."
Indiana coach Mike Davis aureed.
"This helped our guys because they played the best basketball I've seen them play all year," Davis said. "Kris Lang was unstoppable. I thought I was a smart coach but it was
dumb playing man-to-man against him because we had no answer for him."
However, North Carolina must beat Georgia Tech on Sunday to avoid its first 0-4 start in 92 years of basketball.
"The boys don't seem to be panicking to me," Lang said as he looked around a quiet locker room.
The Tar Heels played better than in Smith Center losses to Hampton and Davidson, but still shot just 37 percent and turned it over 18 times to lose four straight at home for just the third time in school history.
"We just need to take that round thing and put it in that iron rim." Lang said.
The home losing streak includes a 14-point loss to eventual national champion Duke to end last season's regular season.
"Guys gained some confidence tonight," North Carr
olina's Jason Capel said. "We're growing up as a team and when we start making shots we're going to bury teams because we're getting better defensively."
Indiana missed its first seven long-range shots to start the second period, but got solid inside play from Jeffries and George Leach to help put the Tar Heels away.
Leach made two shots in the lane and a 12-footer, while Jeffries had a steal and layup. two shots in the lane and two free throws as the Hoosiers went up by 13 points with 8:37 left.
Lang led the Tar Heels with a career-high 27 points. His previous best was 22 points twice last season.
But the 6-foot-11 senior was about the only offensive threat the Tar Heels could muster in the program's worst start since 1928-29.
