Friday, February 26, 1982 Daily Nebraskan Page 13 r Basketball team fires up for game with Wildcats ilJy Hob Asmussen With Nebraska having clinched a home court advantage in the first round of the Big Liiglit tournament the importance of i:iturdav's came with Kansas State in Man hattan, Kan. is diminished. But the history of the last few games between the two teams should be enough to get the Huskers fired up. Twice in the last three years the Huskers have been defeated in the Big Eight post season tournament by the Wildcats. Ano ther motive for the Huskers is that Kansas State defeated them 75-64 earlier this year in Lincoln. "We've got three new kids playing so we don't bring the past up," Iba said. "I think if we win the game we can get closer to getting an NIT (National Invita tional Tournament) bid if we don't win the Big Eight tournament." The 19-6 Wildcats will have a height advantage over the Huskers. Their front line runs 6-10, 6-7 and 6-7. "They'll go inside to (Randy) Reed and (Ed) Nealy and (Tyrone) Adams," Iba said. Kansas State has three starters scoring in double figures led by Reed's 14.7 aver age. Adams, a 6-6 guard from Chicago, is second with a 14.6 average. Nealy, a 6-7 forward, is the third Wildcat in double fig ures with an 1 1 .4 average. The Wildcats' other two starters are 6-10 center Les Craft and 6-0 guard Tim Jankovich. Of the five Kansas State start ers, Craft is the only non-senior. Iba said Jankovich is a player the Huskers have to be aware of. The Huskers will start Terry Smith at center, Claude Renfro and Ray Collins at forward, and Handy Johnson and Jack Moore at guard. Kansas State is coming off a victory against the fifth-rated Missouri Tigers Wed nesday. "Anytime you beat a top team on its homecourt, it's going to help you," Iba said of Kansas State's victory. "Kansas State is a ranked team and that will be an incentive for us." The game is being regionally televised by NBC-TV. It will not be seen in the Lin coln area because of a decision by NBC af filiate KMTV to show the Iowa-Minnesota game. The Wildcats are 94 in league play and have clinched second place. A win against the Huskers will give KSU its sixth 20-win season in the last eight years.
