FARMINGDALE, N.Y. -- Jordan Spieth was no match for the National Spelling Bee co-champion -- with spelling and, ultimately, with putting.Jairam Hathwar revealed after sharing the Spelling Bee title in May that he loved golf and that Spieth was his favorite player. Spieth invited the 13-year-old to The Barclays this week at Bethpage Black. His corporate sponsor, AT&T, arranged for a spelling contest on the green .For each word they spelled correctly, they could move the ball closer to the hole. For each word spelled wrong, they moved farther from the hole.Hathwar got all three of his -- borborygmus, succedaneum and drahthaar. Spieth missed his three -- zoysia, logorrhea and triskaidekaphobia.The teen rapped in his short putt. Spieth missed from longer range.You won the challenge, Spieth told him. Shocker, I know. Nebraska Preview CapsuleBy The Associated Press=NebraskaLast season: 16-18, lost in quarterfinals of Big Ten Tournament.Nickname: Cornhuskers.Coach: Tim Miles.Conference: Big Ten.Whos gone: F Shavon Shields, G Andrew White III, G Benny Parker.Whos back: G Tai Webster, the only senior, will be looked upon to replace Shields as the team leader and must increase his 10-point scoring average. F Michael Jacobson, who started the last 25 games, gets to move back to his natural power forward spot after having to bang against rugged Big Ten centers. G Glynn Watson had a team-high 83 assists. G-F Jack McVeigh is a dependable perimeter shooter.Whos new: C Jordy Tshimanga, a 6-foot-11, 275-pound freshman, gives the Huskers the size in the middle they desperately need. G Anton Gill is a transfer froom Louisville and former top-50 recruit.dddddddddddd F Isaiah Roby, who went into preseason practice with a pelvis injury, is a versatile player who could be a big contributor once healthy.The Skinny: The program suffered a major blow in the offseason when White, the best all-around player, unexpectedly left the program and transferred to Syracuse. That leaves the Huskers without a proven scorer. Webster is coming off his best season, but there isnt enough talent around him to give the Huskers much hope of avoiding a third straight sub-.500 season and another finish near the bottom of the Big Ten.---Online:AP College Basketball: http://collegebasketball.ap.org ' ' '
