Rubik warms up outside By Shannon Heffelfinger Staff Reporter Sometimes four seconds seem to last forever. That’s how much time re mained in the first half of the Ne braska women’s basketball team’s game against 12th-ranked Kansas when Nicole Kubik received an inbounds pass near KU’s basket. During those four seconds, the freshman guard decided it was time to break out ofher shooting slump. “I remember looking at the clock and seeing four seconds left,” Kubik said. “I remember dribbling down and wondering if I should get closer to the basket or just get my feet set and shoot it. I decided to let it go, and it just went in.” The result was a half-court shot that barely touched the net. The 3 pointer gave the Comhuskers a 28 27 lead and added momentum at the break. But more importantly, it brought back Kubik’s confidence. “After I hit that one from half court, I was really feeling it,” Kubik said. “Every time I touched the ball, I was looking to shoot it. I felt more comfortable and everything started falling for me.” Kubik converted four more at tempts from beyond the 3-point arc, shooting 5 of 8 for the game. With her 63 percent performance, the 5 foot- 10-inch guard raised her 3 point percentage in conference games by 10 points. Consistency from outside the 3 point line is what NU Coach An gela Beck expected from Kubik when she recruited her from Class C-2 Cambridge High School. Beck sensed there would be a hole with the loss of Kate Galligan. Gailigan led the Huskers from out side the arc her senior season, shooting 46 percent. Kubik appeared able to step into that role, gradually improving un til falling into a mid-season funk that was punctuated by a 1 for 6 performance at Iowa State Jan. 30. “After that, we talked to her about what her role is,” Beck said, “and that’s to shoot the 3. She’s been struggling with decision mak ing, but she’s becoming better at knowing what to do.” Kubik said her ability to make good decisions will improve as her confidence grows. “Anytime you come in as a freshman and you’re a so-called shooter,” Kubik said, “you always kind of worry about what the older people are going to think. “I just have to remember that this was one game, and I need to play within myself.” Peter battles to play again PETER from page 9 He attended Notre Dame in 1995, but decided to return home in the spring of ’96 to re-evaluate his future. Accepting a football scholarship to play for the Fighting Irish might not have been the best decision he could have made, said Peter — who was heavily recruited by the Huskers as a defensive tackle in high school. “I got caught up in the mystique,” Peter said. “When you go there on a recruiting visit... you really get caught up with all the glory that Notre Dame has to offer. I don’t think that I really made a very informed decision.” As a sophomore Peter went back to South Bend in August for his third semester, but he wasn’t happy. He de cided to follow his older brothers to Lincoln. “The NU football program has treated my brothers incredibly,” Peter said. “I spoke with Coach Osborne be fore I came down. He told me that he’d love to have me and if I was unable to physically play football, I could be an undergraduate assistant.” A1 Papik, NU’s senior associate athletic director, said the Huskers will assist Peter in attempting to gain medi cal clearance to play. If Peter’s wish is granted, Papik said, it is uncertain how many years Peter could play. Peter’s eligibility should run out after the 1998 season, but Papik said Peter could earn up to _2^_____ * two years of his five-year clock back because of a medical hardship. “There certainly wasn’t any under standing when he came to Nebraska that he definitely would be able to play football,” Papik said. “He just wanted to get back on track for a degree.” The 20-year-old Peter said he feels at home in Lincoln living with his brother, Jason. When not attending classes, Peter has been working with NU Assistant Strength Coach Bryan Bailey while he waits for all of his previous medical records to be com piled. “Everyone at Nebraska has been really supportive so far,” Peter said. “The trainers, doctors and all of the guys on the team have taken me in and let me be a part of it.” His parents, Peter said, have sup ported his comeback. “Any time you have a child play ing a contact sport, it (injury) is a con cern for you,” Mary Peter said. “But when he first had his accident, a medi cal institution sent me a lot of infor mation on spinal injuries. Doing the research, I know the position that he plays (offensive line) is not a high-risk position for neck injury.” Peter is just anxious to get back on the field. “It’s a very important part of my life,” Peter said. “It’s hard to explain. There’s just a certain feeling that you get when you walk out there on the football field. I haven’t had that feel ing in quite a while and I miss it.” 220 Kansas plays below par again KANSAS from page 9 overtime,” Pierce said. “But they played well down the stretch and tied it up.” In overtime the Jayhawks scored on all 13 of their posses sions, and outscored the Huskers 22-17 to improve their record to 22 0 for the first time in Kansas his tory. KU broke the previous record of 21-0 set in the 1935-36 season, but guard Ryan Robertson said the record was not as important as fig uring out why the Jayhawks didn’t play to their potential. “We need to do some serious soul-searching and find out what’s wrong,” Robertson said. “We have to do a better job,” said Williams, whose Jayhawk teams have a 235-56 record in his eight years at KU. “And I have to find the right buttons to push.” Backed by Williams’ coaching, Kansas has been ranked No. 1 for 10 straight weeks. “To say that we have a prob lem,” Robertson said, “that shows you the kind of attention and the kind of pressure here at Kansas University.” $3.25 par day for 15 words on individual student ana student organization ads. $4.50 par day for 15 words on non-student ads. $.15 each additional word. 175 billing charge.
