Maryland women’s basketball junior forward Allie Kubek was stretching her ankle on a medicine ball during a mid-morning practice ahead of the team’s Big Ten opener against Nebraska.
She wore Maryland women’s basketball apparel, black shorts and a white long-sleeve shirt as she looked at her teammates running screens and playing zone defense against the male scout team.
On game day against Nebraska, she dished out the ball to her teammates during the pregame shootaround and had a wide grin.
This has not been the season — or college career — that Kubek envisioned for herself.
