Daily Nebraskan
Reserves work for Moore playing time
By Gcctt Ahkinmd
Curtis and James Moore share more
than just a last name.
The two are forwards on the Nebra
ska men's basketball team. As reserves,
the two spend more time on the bench
than on the floor. But each has his own
plan and schedule for becoming a star
ter. Prc-II"'l:cr honors
Curtis, ajunior college transfer from
Independence, Kan., is in his first year
as a Ilusker. A second team junior col
lege Ail-American, Moore has had to
adjust to being relegated to a reserve
role.
"When you come from junior college
and you're an Ail-American and you
don't start, you find out it hurts a lit.
tie " Curtis said. "Right now I'm waiting
my turn and working on my game."
James, 6-7, freshman from Omaha
Durke High School, was a second-team
all-state selection his senior year. He is
coming off a redshirt season.
"Every year you have a chance to
start. It's up to the individual to work
his way into a starting role," James
said. "My goal right now is to go out and .
work hard every day and see how
much I can learn."
M&kisj adjustments
While James and Curtis would both
like to play more, the two place the
blame for their lack of playing time on
different factors.
Curtis blames the adjustement in
playing styles that he has had to make.

"I have confidence in my offense,
and I know I can play. But my defense
isn't great," Curtis said. Coach (Moe) Iba
likes a good defensive player."
James f eel3 that he has to improve his
overall game before he'll start.
"I've always been a good offensive
player but I also take pride in my def
ensive abilities" James said. "I think
I've become a pretty well-balanced
player, but I've still got a lot of work to
do on my game." , .
A common denominator in their
plans i3 work. Both James and Curtis
realize the only way to a starting role is
through hours in the gym.
Both Curtis and James are impor
tant members of the Husker team, Iba
said.
"Both of those guys can play, but
Basketball . . .
Continued from Pc 8
Seventeen wins could
be the magkf number of
wins needed for a NIT
invite.
Ironically, the uptempo
play of the Huskers in the
of basketball fever
to a football state. Ne-
braska's usually deliber
ate offense averaged 71
points in the four NIT
games, eight points higher
than its Big Eight average.
That increase was the
result of the use of the
45-second clock. With it,
Nebraska shot 50 percent
from the field.
It is unlikely that Iba
would change offensive
strategy so late in the
year, but considering an
offensive where players
aren't afraid to shoot for
fear of being sent to the
bench couldn't hurt in
the future. .
Iba has done a good job
in spurring Nebraska's in
terest in basketball. But
in order for Nebrsaka to
make the jump from an
above-average to a great
team, Iba needs to start
recruiting players who can
contribute immediately to
the program, rather than
waiting for marginal play
ers to never develop.
you've got to remember that James is
just a freshman and Curtb missed a
week of practice," Iba said. "They've
both improved their play and they're
very valuable to the team."
But despite the hard work and the
accolades, the two have resigned them
selves to riding the bench a little while
longer.
"I'd like to be a starter but right now
I just want to give a good effort every
time out," James said. "I think that's
what counts right now."
For Curtis starting is something into
which he refuses to put too much
stock.
"I'm just taking things as they come,
Curtis said. "If you get your hopes too
high and you don't start you really get
depressed."
