Matt Miller/DN Nebraska’s Jami Kubik, a sophomore guard, has been both a starter and a reserve this year for the 17-8 Huskers. Kubik sparks NU in different roles By Jason Brunz Start fteporter The Nebraska women’s basket ball team not only has a talented starting lineup, but also a secret weapon on the bench. Sophomore Jami Kubik has shown that she has what it takes to play as a starter and as a reserve. The 5-foot-11 guard has played a key role in Nebraska’s 17-8 season. She has been put into close games in crucial situations to increase the quickness of the Husker squad. She also started six games this year in place of senior Pyra Aardcn to al low Nebraska to match up better with smaller opponents. “We went with the anal ler 1 ineup so we could be quicker on defense,” Kubik said. A Cambridge native, Kubik was a member of the Class C-21993-94 state championship team in high school. As a senior, she averaged 23.6 points per game, and set the state tournament one-game scoring record with 36 points. She also averaged 7.8 rebounds per game as a senior and was named Ms. Nebraska basketball in 1994. In her freshman year at Nebraska, Kubik continued to improve, play ing in every game and averaging 17 minutes of play per contest. She started in 12 of the 27 contests and scored 4.1 points per game, seventh on the team. Kubik became the top reserve this season, playing about 19 min utes a game. She got a chance to start when Nebraska coach Angela Beck changed the lineup against Her this month. “I needed Jami to give us a boost,” Beck said. Beck’s decision proved to be benefic ial. Kubik has helped a great deal on the defensive end of the court. In Nebraska’s 53-43 victory over Oklahoma State on Feb. 2, Kubik added seven rebounds. Against Oklahoma on Feb. 4, she recorded 10 points and seven re bounds, helping secure a 71-52 Husker victory. After losses to Kansas and Kan sas State, Beck started Aarden against Colorado’s taller and more physical team. Nebraska won 83 75 in double overtime on Feb. 14. Kubik said she didn’t mind coming off the bench. “As long as we’re winning, it doesn’t matter whether I start or not,” Kubik said. Even out of the starting lineup, Kubik remained an important part of Nebraska’s game plan. In the victory over the Buffaloes, Kubik scored four points and added four rebounds. She dealt the Buffs a major blow when she made a layup in die second overtime, giving the Huskers the lead. Kubik said she had her sights set on the NCAA Tournament. The Huskers have missed the tourna ment each of the past two seasons. Remaining on Nebraska’s sched ule before next month’s Big Eight Tournament in Salina, Kan., is a game Friday night at the Bob Devaney Sports Center against 16 7 Iowa State. Kubik said a win, which would be Nebraska’s third in a row, would help the team as it moves into postseason play. “By winning these games, we’ll head into the Big Eight Tourna ment with a lot of confidence,” Kubik said. “Hopefully we can take the tournament.” NU swimmers named academic All-Big Eight From Staff Reports Six Nebraska men and eight Comhusker women landed spots on the first-team academic All-Big Eight swimming and diving honor roll.
