"They've done a good job making some adjustments," Henrickson said. "Fortunately, I've got great assistant coaches and staff to break down the tape."
Another source of momentum was the team's performance in the regular season finale, Henrickson said. Although the Iowa State Cyclones defeated the Jayhawks 61-52, Kansas
Despite Kansas' confidence entering the third match-up with Missouri, Henrickson said there was no reason for the lawhays to overlook their rival.
answered with scoring runs and forced a tie late in the contest.
Kemp will also be ready for the Tigers and expects the same attitude from the first-round foo.
"We're not going to walk around and think we can win just because we beat them twice." Henrickson said.
"They've lost to us two times in a row," Kemp said. "And you know it's the border war."
Today's game at Municipal
A victory would also earn Kansas its 13th victory of the season, the most since the 1999- 2000 campaign.
Auditorium, in Kansas City, Mo., offers the Jayhawks a chance to win their fourth game out of the last five in the series.
If Kansas does pass its first test in the tournament, No. 1 seed Baylor looms in the future, a spectacle that does not faze a Kansas team which played the No. 6 team to within 10 points.
"If we win, we definitely want to give Baylor a run for their money," Kemp said.

The Jahawks needs to seriously address some issues. Until they do, they have absolutely no chance of contending for any postseason titles.
Langford's absence should have put more emphasis on Wayne Simien in the paint. Unfortunately, the Jayhawks settled for too many bad shots instead of running the offense through Simien. Simien always seems to get it done. In the Oklahoma State game last Sunday, easily the Jayhawks' best game of the season, Simien scored a career-high 32 points.
The biggest knock on this team all season has been its lack
Kansas shot 25 threes on Sunday, making only seven. That's far too many outside shots for a team that boasts one of the nations' most polished power forwards.
of offensive consistency.
On Sunday, this continued to be a problem. There is no offensive unity on this team if anyone other than Langford, Simien, Aaron Miles and Christian Moody is on the floor. If others, including the freshmen and senior Mike Lee, are playing the team doesn't score and they don't play together. The freshmen always look confused and out of position. Rarely do the other guys off the bench jel with the starters. It looks like this team is just starting to practice, not preparing for postseason play.
Kansas needs to practice the fundamentals of running its offense this week before facing the winner of the Texas A&M-Kansas State game Friday. This includes getting the ball to Simien early and often, sharing the ball and taking smart shots.
In the Texas game earlier in the season, arguably Kansas' most complete performance of the season, the team had 24
assists. In those games, the Jayhawks did what they needed to do, putting themselves in the best position to win. That's something that they haven't done consistently all season. They've gotten lucky winning games in which they didn't play well, but now, it's win or go home.
It will take nearly perfect performances from here on out if Kansas expects to make deep postseason runs. They'll need to play together, play smart, play tough, and show more heart than the other guy. It'll be tough, but this team is capable of doing that. The senior class is great, probably one of the best this University has ever seen, but they'll need help from Moody, J.R Giddens and the freshmen. There's still time for Kansas to find its best basketball, but if they don't find it soon, their season will be over.

year bus pass, but she said she hadn't used it since about September. The St. Louis freshman and Naismith Hall resident, said she was continuously late for class when she rode the bus.
"It was a waste," Kanter said.
"I stopped taking the bus because I could never get on it, and I'd end up spending more time waiting for the bus than it would take me to walk."
Kanter said she would ride the bus again if it was faster than walking.
The Transportation Board voted to add another bus to the Naismith/Oliver-GSP route and cut the hours from Jayhawk Express on Feb. 15, Bengston said.
of 504 students each day who rode the Naismith/Oliver-GSP route.
"We didn't want to scale down completely, but taking the hours from the Jahawk Express made the most sense," said Anton Bengston, chairman of the Transportation Board.
Jayhawk Express ridership averaged 128 students each day in December versus an average
After consulting the Lawrence Bus Company, the board determined that the Jayhawk Express was among the least used. Only the Night Campus Express had fewer riders.
After the student bus hearings during the last two weeks, the Transportation Board is considering eliminating the Jayhawk Express entirely.
"We're trying to keep our bases covered in a financially responsible manner," Bengston said.
"We would have a current route reworked," Bengston said. "The route would go to the places the Jayhawk Express goes, but it would not be a free bus."
If the Jayhawk Express is eliminated, the Transportation Board has a plan to transport students on campus.
It would make the most sense to re-route it to an area with a greater number of students with greater need, but the decision is ultimately up to the Transportation Board, he said.
The Transportation Board will meet on March 15 to discuss and finalize the routes for next year including the option of making the extra bus on the Naismith/Oliver-GSP route permanent.
If the Jayhawk Express was eliminated, Blake Huff, transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels, said a pay-only bus wouldn't bring in much extra money because fares were a small part of the revenue.
