The biggest thing for me is I think that our fans should savor the games our seniors have left. They only have three more chances to see them."

Self said Robinson had been playing better in game and practice situations.
However, in the last couple of games, Robinson has seen first-half time and has played with the starters.

A performance equal to Kemp's second-half showing will be needed for Kansas to hang with Nebraska in the 1 p.m. contest on Sunday.
A solid perimeter contribution from junior guards Kaylee Brown and Erica Hallman will be needed to keep pace with the
