Wednesday January 23, 1980 page 14 daily nebraskan West injuries . . Continued from page 12 "One of their forwards drove in and put up a shot' West explained. "I jumped and when I came down, my left foot landed on that guy's foot. I fell down, but I managed to limp over to the ref and have him stop the game to get me out." Although his ankle is almost completely healed, West said he still needs to strength en it. "Right now, I seem to favor it quite a bit unconsciously," he said. "You don't want to do that, because if someone bumps you, you could hurt it worse." West said the toughest part of the injury was having to sit out of the Missouri game Jan. 12. Family and Friends "Since the game was also on TV, I miss ed a chance for my, family and friends to see me play." West said he hasn't given up on this sea son and is looking forward to the Huskers' rematch with Missouri Feb. 2 at Columbia. West played his high school ball at Sky. line High School in Urbana, Mo. where he averaged 25 points and 12 rebounds a game and earned all-state honors as a senior. . He said he received between 20 and 30 scholarship offers from NCAA Division II and III schools, - but no major college offers. West said he picked State Fair, a two-year junior college, because his highx school coach, Dale Kimberling, got an assistant coaching job there and because of the school's connection with Missouri. "If Missouri wants you, many times they'll send you there (State Fair) first," West said. The first time Iba saw West play was in a postseason tournament game last year. Iba, however, was recruiting another player. One of best games "When we went down to the tourna. ment, we thought Tim -was going to Missouri," Iba said. "But I talked to Billy Barton (State Fair coach) and he said Tim hadn't made up his mind." "Luckily, 1 played one of my best" games ever (in the tournament). West said. "I had 30 points and IS rebounds, so I am kind of lucky to be here but I am glad lam." West, an agriculture major, said a separate campus for the ag school, the Bob Devaney Sports Center and the chance to play were the main reasons for coming to UNL. Iba is glad to have West on the team, he said. "He fits into our system very easily," Iba said. "He had trouble getting confi dence when he first came because he didn't think he was good enough. Iba said because of his jumping ability, West plays more like a 6-7 or 6-8 player. But he said he thought West's strongest suit was offense. Scoring capability "When he's healthy, he's capable of. scoring 20-25 points a game," Iba said. Besides basketball and school, West has. family responsibilities. ' His wife, Wendy, is employed at the Agriculture Engineering Building on East Campus. "Between basketball, school, making sure I get enough rest, being mentally alert for practice and spending time with my wife, there's not much time left," West said.
