BASKETBALL REWIND
HALF SUMMARIES
1ST HALF
After getting the game started with a 10-2 run, the Jayhawks faltered against the Horned Frogs, making just five of their final 16 shot attempts in the half. Senior guard Natalie Knight was the lone bright spot for the Jayhawks in the first period. Knight scored 11 points on 4-of-6 shooting, and quite frankly, was the only reason that the team wasn't facing a worse deficit than 15 points going into the half.
2ND HALF
The second half was a completely different story, as the Jayhawks battled back ferociously. Kansas went on an 8-0 run starting with 14:55 to go in the second half, and after that, the team continued to chip away at the TCU lead. The Jayhawks had managed to cut the lead all the way down to two, but despite 34 second-half points from senior forward Chelsea Gardner and Knight, the Jayhawks were unable to pull off the comeback, falling 73-67.
GAME TO REMEMBER
Natalie Knight
Natalie Knight was without a doubt the best player on the court for either team. The senior posted a game-high 29 points, topping the game's next-best scorer by nine points. Outside of Knight's five three-point baskets, the Jayhawks shot 0-of-12 from long range on the evening, and the fact that she committed just two turnovers while playing the entire 40 minutes was especially impressive.
GAME TO FORGET
The freshman guard made just one of her four field goal attempts and finished with a plus/minus rating of -28 in a game that her team lost by just six points. It wasn't all-bad for Bradley though, as she did manage to keep her turnovers down, but ultimately, her inability to get going really hurt the team.

UNSUNG HERO
It wasn't exactly Superhero Day again, but that didn't stop Gardner from playing the role of Robin to Knight's Batman. Gardner finished second on the team with 20 points on 8-of-14 field goal attempts, while adding nine rebounds and three blocks. Gardner did get into foul trouble, which did hurt the team, but overall, it was another strong performance for the senior who, with Knight, combined to score 73.1 percent of the team's points.
