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

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.”
