Women crumble at hands of No.1

"They have some great guards, and their whole team works really well together," Reves said. "They click offensively and swing the ball and find the open player. They know who takes the shots and where."
Kansas finished the season 23-10 but know that they played well against a tough final opponent.
"This team of mine, I am extremely proud of them," said coach Marian Washington. "We've had some limitations all season long. They have found a way to pull themselves together and to get into a position to earn the opportunity to be in this tournament."

In light of all the adversity surrounding the season, Williams said he had more respect for this team than any he has coached.
"With all the adversity they've been through — the injuries, the blown big leads, the first team to lose at home, the first team to lose three games in a row, the first team not to win the regular season. Some think it was a down year, but you can't compare this to the past two years," he said.
This season did have its fair share of highlights.
Kansas defeated Missouri in the Hearnes Center for the first time since 1995, and St. Charles, Mo., native Ryan Robertson finally beat the Tigers in his home state. The Jayhawks won all three games against in-state rival Kansas State, including their 16th straight in Manhattan, Kan., and handed Texas, the Big 12 regular season champions, one of only three conference losses.
With an NCAA tournament bid
in question, the Jayhawks beat Sweet 16-bound Oklahoma in Norman and eked out an overtime win on Senior Night against Oklahoma State.
Plus, the Jayhawks' season-opening victory against Gonzaga looks even more impressive after the Bulldogs crashed the Sweet 16 party this weekend.
Sunday's loss also marked the last time seniors Robertson, Pugh, Jelani Janisse and Chris Martin will ever don a Kansas jersey. Although the Jayhawks weren't able pull out the victory, Robertson went out with a bang, scoring a career-high 31 points.
"I can't say enough about Ryan and what he's meant to this team," Pugh said of his roommate.
Even though this senior class is moving on, Williams said he expects more from next year's team.
"We're getting sick and tired of coming back so early from the NCAA Tournament," Williams said. "I want to challenge these undergraduates and myself and the (coaching) staff to make these appearances a heck of a lot later in the year."

TAX ADVANTAGED SOLUTIONS FROM TIAA CREF
UNFORTUNATELX, THIS IS WHERE PEOPLE ARE PUTTING TOO MANY RETIREMENT DOLLARS.
Every year, a lot of people make a huge mistake on their taxes. They wind up sending Uncle Sam money they could be saving for retirement.
Fortunately, that's a mistake you can avoid with SRAs—tax-deferred annuities from TIAA-CREF. SRAs not only ease your current tax bite, they offer an easy way to build retirement income—especially for the "extras" that your pension and Social Security benefits may not cover. Because your contributions are made in pretax dollars, you pay less in taxes now. And since earnings on your SRAs are tax
deferred, your money works even harder for you.
Today, we offer other before- and after-tax financial solutions, including IRAs and mutual funds. They're backed by the same investment expertise, low expenses, and personal service that have made TIAA-CREF the choice of America's educational and research community.
Why write off the chance for a more rewarding retirement? Stop by your benefits office or call us at 1800842-2776 and find out how TIAA-CREF SRAs can help you enjoy happier returns.
