Watching Johnson, he could be an
effective player next season. He’s
strong, he’s quick and he has a variety
of moves. He was missing all of his
outside shots the exact same way,
meaning that with a slight correction
on another day he would have hit all
of those shots.
For negatives, at 5-foot-11 he’s
awfully short, and he didn’t demon
strate the quickness and explosive
ness needed to make up for his lack of
height. That partially could be ex
plained since the teams were playing
on a short court. And I didn’t have to
guard him, either. He may seem quicker
and more explosive when you’re trying
to keep him away from the basket.
Johnson is in the same position
Ramos was last year. Ramos was the
highly touted point guard, coming in
to rescue the Huskers. As everyone
by now knows, by the time Ramos
was eligible, the Huskers didn’t need
rescuing.
And that was good for Ramos. He
came in and was a solid player, but no
one mentioned him for All-American
honors.
I hope Johnson is allowed some
time to adjust, too. He’ll probably
begin the season as a backup, which
should give him time to grow, play
ing 15-20 minutes a game instead of
the 25-30 he would have to play at
some other schools.
But that’s next year. Until Novem
ber, he won’t be playing much organ
ized basketball.
Tonight he will, as the Hosers take
on Beta Theta Pi A in the All-Univer
sity final.
I’ll probably be there, as a specta
tor.

Wolforth says competition helpiul
By John Adkisson
Staff Reporter
Nebraska softball coach Ron
Wolforth is a firm believer in stiff
competition.
That is why he and his 5-2 Husker
softball team are embarking on a 10
day road trip that starts with the Bud
Lite National Invitational Softball
Tournament today in San Jose, Calif.
The tournament, which includes
ranked teams like No. 8 Iowa and No.
15 Central Michigan, is what Wolforth
called a real test for his team.
“Our goal down the road is to win
the Big Eight,” he said. “And the only
way for us to improve is to play against
the type of competition we’ll see this
weekend.”
Nebraska will open the 16-team,
pool-play tournament against East
ern Michigan tonight, then play Iowa
and Santa Clara on Friday. If the
Huskers w in two of those games, they
will advance to the championship pool
to be played Saturday and bunaay.
Wolforth said Iowa and Central
Michigan are both excellent teams.
“But I have every reason to be
lieve we can be competitive with
them,” he said. “Both Iowa and Cen
tral Michigan are similar to us in that
they like to run.”
Santa Clara, although not ranked,
concerns Wolforth as well.
“We play them last, and to be
honest, they scare me.” he said.
“They’re going to have a little of a
home advantage, and our players may
want to look past them.”
No. 5 Arizona State, which beat
the Huskers 2-1 earlier this season, is
also in the field and the two teams
could meet again if both advance to
the championship pool.
In the Huskers’ last game, in the
Houston Invitational last weekend,
they lost 3-1 to Southwest Louisiana.
Nebraska committed four errors and
played poorly, Wolforth said.
Yf uuuiui aiou io wuiiwviiivu wiui
his team’s offensive production. The
Huskers have scored only 2 runs in
their last two games, and have only
two players (outfielder Misti Guen
ther and catcher Kris Vucurevic) hit
ting over .238 for the season.
“When you’re scoring one run per
game, you’re not going to beat many
teams, no matter who you’re play
ing,” Wolforth said. “That’s my big
gest concern.”
After the Bud Lite Invitational,
Nebraska will continue its road trip
by playing doubleheaders at Santa
Clara March 26, at Alephi March 28
and at San Jose State March 30.
Wolforth said in the long run, the
hectic road trip will pay dividends for
his team.
“We’re going to be playing a lot of
games, but it’s going to make us a
stronger team later in the season,” he
said.
