LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) -- Nebraska volleyball coach John Cook says Oklahoma event management staff and Big 12 referees lost control of a match last week in which OU women's basketball players and others engaged in over-the-top heckling.

Nebraska beat the Sooners in five sets last Wednesday before a crowd of 2,046, the second-largest in OU volleyball history.

On Monday, Cook said OU fans viciously taunted Nebraska servers from extremely close proximity.

Nebraska athletic director Tom Osborne say he has addressed the matter with the appropriate people. He would not disclose whether he contacted Oklahoma or Big 12 officials, or both.

OU spokesman Kenny Mossman said in a statement that the school views "this event as an opportunity to further educate our student-athletes and fans about sportsmanship."

The Big 12 had no immediate comment.
