Sanford leads Jayhawks to win
Team extends home winning streak to 20
By Mike Harrity
Kansan sportswriter
Nakia Sanford spent a lot of time in front of the television the past few days watching the game tape from the women's basketball team's Jan. 20 loss at Colorado.
As each frame advanced on the tane, her anger grew.
She couldn't believe what she was seeing — the way Colorado would sag on defense every time she touched the ball, daring her to shoot. Sanford hit four of the nine shots she took.
"I was just really disappointed with myself after watching how they played me," Sanford said after Tuesday night's 65-57 win against Colorado at Allen Fieldhouse. "I didn't want that to happen again."

Sanford scored a career-high 24 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in the game, which extended the team's home winning streak to 20 games.
The coaches' game plan to exploit Colorado's inside defense worked to perfection. In addition to Sanford's 24 points, both starting forwards had big games. Brooke Reves scored 14 points and Jaclyn Johnson scored 11 points in addition to her 10 rebounds and seven assists.
Coach Marian Washington's wide smile at the post-game press conference spoke volumes about her team's performance.
"This was probably our best inside performance to date," said Washington, whose team improved to 17-6 and 7-3 in the Big 12. "I was really pleased with Nakia's play tonight.
"Her biggest challenge is being consistent because she's capable of this kind of performance every night."
Sanford, who entered Tuesday night's game averaging 7.9 points and 5.7 rebounds, played as well on defense as on offense, limiting Colorado starting center Britt Hartshorn to four points on one of four shooting.
arthborn expected her duel with Sanford to be more physical than their last meeting, but not as tough
as it turned out to be.
"I thought she would come out playing tougher than last time, so I was ready for it," Hartshorn said. "But, man, she was out there pushing and not really giving me a chance to get a shot off."
Sanford's biggest play came with a little more than three minutes left in the game, with Kansas clinging to a 53-52 lead. Sanford caught the crisp pass from Johnson and made a jump shot while being fouled. After hitting the free throw and extending the lead to 56-52, Kansas' suffocating defense left Colorado hopeless in the waning minutes.
About the only thing Sanford did wrong all night happened when the teams took the floor to begin the second half. Deep in concentration, Sanford realized she had forgotten one thing as she took her position on defense — she hadn't taken off her warm-up jacket.
The absent-minded move brought laughs from the Kansas bench on a night that more than made up for the anger felt from Sanford's previous performance against Colorado.
"I just wanted to prove that I am somebody to be reckoned on with this team and that I deserve to be respected," Sanford said.
