First-round defeat dashes team dream of a Final Four trip
RUSTON, La. — When the Kansas women's basketball team
oogan the season,
it had dreams of a
Final Four appearance.
But the eighth-
seeded Jay hawks'
dreams were dashed in the first round of
the NCAA
Tournament
March 18 with
a 71-69 double-
overtime loss
Kansas had plenty of opportunities to win, but turnovers and missed shots hurt the team.
Pride: Collegiate career ends with missed three-pointer
to No. 9 seed Vanderbilt.
Kansas had two turnovers in the last minute of regulation, but it still had a chance to win. With the game tied 51-51, the Jayhawks tried an alley-oop pass to a soaring Lynn Pride, but failed when the ball sailed out of her reach.
In the first overtime, Kansas led 61-57 with 35 seconds remaining, but Vanderbilt center Chantelle Anderson cut the Jayhawks' lead to two with a basket. Kansas forward Jaclyn Johnson could have put the game away with by converting a one-and-one free-throw attempt with 19 seconds left, but she missed the first shot. On Vanderbilt's next possession, forward Zuzana Klimeeova scored, which sent the game into a second overtime.
With 40 seconds left, senior guard Suzi Raymant tied the game 69-69 with a three-pointer before falling to the floor, but no foul was called.
On two trips to the line in its next two possessions, Vanderbilt scored two points and led 71-69 with 2 seconds left. Johnson heaved a baseball pass to senior Guard Pride, who turned to shoot
"Suzi would like to go into coaching, and I think Lynn has a few more years of playing before she is finished. Even though it will be disappointing not to have them back in the fall, I will be around them somehow"
a long three that could have added another day to the Jayhawks' season.
"I don't know about going in, but when the bail left my hands, I thought it had a good chance," Pride said.
It bounced off the rim, however, and a screaming Vanderbilt team stormed the court.
had a heart attack because I was standing there with her, and I knew it was a three," Klimesova said of Pride's potential game-winning shot.
The Commodores were underdogs again in their second-round game March 20 against top-seeded Louisiana St. Vanderbilt put together another solid performance but lost 66-65.
"I think this win proves to Vanderbilt, to ourselves, that we can come through for each other." Anderson said. "It is a great feeling to know your team can support you and come through for you."
The Jayhawks finished the season 20-10. The year's end also marked the end of the collegiate careers of Pride and Raymant.
"I had a great group of seniors this year, and it is disappointing to see them go," Kansas coach Marian Washington said. "Suzi would like to go into coaching, and I think Lynn has a few more years of playing before she is finished.
"Even though it will be disappointing not to have them back in the fall, I will be around them somehow."
