'Wins against Oklahoma teams
could cure Beck’s ailments
Huskers have
second chance
in home games
By Trevor Parks
Staff Reporter
Nebraska women’s basketball
coach Angela Beck said she had been
feeling sick all week.
About the best cure for her would
be two wins this weekend, Beck said.
This weekend the Comhuskers,
11-10 and 2-7 in the Big Eight, will
play their final two home games of
the season.
Nebraska plays
host to Oklahoma
State at 7 p.m.
Friday and at 2
p.m. Sunday
against No. 24
Oklahoma at the
Bob Devaney
Sports Center.

nal home game as
a Husker. Upthegrove has been in
jured throughout her career, and she
underwent an emergency appendec
tomy three weeks ago. The 5-foot-7
inch guard has played in 10 games
and has averaged 3.9 points per game.
Beck said that even though
Upthegrove hadn’t had a stellar ca
reer, she had really helped die Ne
braska program.
“Her coming off the bench has
been a big positive,” Beck said. “She
stuck around when the going got tough
and a lot of people left.”
Beck also is going through a tough
time, suffering from the flu and an ear
infection.
The illness caused her to miss prac
tice Tuesday, the first time she has
missed a practice in her nine-year
coaching career at Nebraska.
Along with her illness, Nebraska’s
2-7 conference record has been hard
on Beck.
“I’m sure I would probably feel
better if we were winning,” Beck said.
“I’m sure it is kind of magnified
because of us losing.”
The Huskers are coming off a 53
50 loss at Kansas State in which
Nebraska led by 11 points in the
second half.

this year.
Nebraska lost a tough 63-62 game
at Oklahoma and then lost at Okla
homa State 69-52.
In the game against the Cowgirls,
guard Tina McClain suffered a knee
injury, which Beck said was the ma
jor factor.
The Sooners, 15-5 and 7-2 in the
Big Eight, are on a roll, winning 11 of
their last 13 games, with those two
losses coming to Colorado.
Oklahoma State limps into
Friday’s contest losing three of its
last four games.
Even though these two teams come
in on different streaks, Beck said this
weekend would be a tough assign
ment for her team.
“It’s not going to be an easy home
stand,” Beck said. “We just really
need to try and play some Nebraska
basketball.”
