CrekiMon success
leads to Blu&iay's '
iovfmey invitation
By Ctu Pcspbil
Creighton's basketball renaissance has been re
warded with the Omaha school's first post-season
tournament appearance in three seasons.
The Biuejays, who finished with a 17-13 record
after their first tv. o bcir.2 scaccr.s sir.ce 107G-C3,
host Nebraska in Thursday night's first round of the
National Invitation Tournament.
Creighton, which finished in the Missouri Valley
Conference cellar last season, came within a half
court shot Saturday of defeating Tulsa for the
league title and a NCAA tournament berth.
The Biuejays advanced to the MVC championship
game defeating Bradley and NCAA contestant Illi
nois State, the latter losing at home for the first time
in two seasons. '
Vernon Moore, Willis Reed's first recruit as coach,
Benoit Benjamin and Gregory Brandon have revived
Creighton's fortunes.
Each averages 15 points or more per game, and
the 7-0 Benjamin and Brandon rank among the
Division I rebounding leaders.
Moore's field goal accuracy has improved form
41.2 percent as a freshman to GO.O this season as a
junior.
"Last year, we had too many freshmen, and that
caused us to be unstable," Reed said. "That extra
year of maturity these guys now have should make a
big difference for us."
. Nebraska defeated Creighton 65-58 in December
as Dave Hoppen outscored "Big Ben" 27-10. The Blue
jays then won seven of its next nine games, losing
only to DePaul (in overtime) and Illinois State.
With a 9-3 record Creighton then slipped to a
12-11 mark, losing six road games and two at home
(to Dayton and Tulsa, both in the ffCAA field).
Creighton's homecourt success, winning 13 of 17
games played on the Omaha Civic Auditorium floor,
could present problems for Nebraska
Other NIT first-round games include: Old Domin
ion at Notre Dame, Georgia at Tennessee-Chattanooga,
Lamar at New Mexico, Southwest Louisi
ana at Utah State, Florida at South Alabama, St.
Peter's at Tennessee, Ohio State at Xavier, Florida
State at North Carolina State, Marquette at Iowa
State, Georgia Tech at Virginia Tech, Wichita State
at Michigan, Santa Clara at Oregon, Fordham at
Weber State, Boston College at St. Josephs, and
Pittsburgh at La Salle.

vjy Scoreboard
Andre Smith scored 15 points and John McLaugh
lin added 14 as Norgas won the all-university
intramural basketball championship, 52-47,
against The Shrooms Sunday night at the Coliseum.
The game was a rematch of the Independent A
League championship game earlier this season.
Norgas won that game by one point. Norgas finished
the season undefeated.
Sunday's game was tied at 21 at halftime, but
Norgas, behind the shooting of Smith, McLaughlin
arid John Pflug, pulled away to lead by as many as
six points before securing the final margin.
Three Shroom players fouled out of Sunday's
game including leading scorer Nate Udofia. Udofia
finished with 11 points.
UNL's Office of Campus Recreation is trying to
arrange a game between Norgas and the University
of Nebraska-Omaha's intramural champion for
later this year, Director of Intramurals Kenda
Scheele said.

Just wanted to let you know that I
feel the people of Nebraska should be
mi.'Jity proud of Moe Iba. He has great
knowledge of the game, u a winner and
should have support from ail the Big
Red fans in attempting to get Nebraska
into the winner's circle. He knows
more hoops then I will ever l:r.c.v and
is a genuine credit to the game.
As for me, I find it hilarious to read
that a couple of your students were
promoting me to coach if Moe were to
say bye bye. Believe me, you have the
better man in Moe and I am extremely
happy coaching on TV with ESPN
where I am undefeated.
Best wishes and once again tell the
E:; Red fans to get behind Moe 100

the top 20 and see Nebraska as one of
the teams.
