[Husker] Iowa State 88, Nebraska 75

Actually, I believe his sister called him, and conveyed to him his
mother's wishes for him to play in the game.  He has since flown out to
New York to be with her.

I think news reports indicated that he spoke to his mother by phone and
she told him to play well, so it wasn't that serious.
