Down by nine at half and as many as 11 in the second, Kansas cut the deficit to as lose as one in the second half, but it was not enough as they were defeated by No. 3 ranked Baylor, 71-13, at Allen Fieldhouse. The ayhawks have lost their last five games in conference play.
Baylor led from the opening moments until the final buzzer. The Bears opened up with the first six points of the game within the first two minutes. Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson called
a quick timeout and subbed in freshman guard Terriell Bradley, who scored Kansas' first field goal of the game.
The Jayhawks kept answering Baylor as the deficit was between three and nine points in the first half, before Kansas started the second half on a 9-3 run.
"I thought we played better, had a lot of energy today, but with 17 missed shots and 12 offensive rebounds in the second half [we] will lose games," Henrickson said.
Senior forward Chelsea Gardner had a huge second half, scoring 11 of her 17 points. She had a jumper with 8:49 left, to cut the
deficit to one, the closest Kansas would be the rest of the game. Gardner picked up her fifth foul with three minutes remaining in the game.

"Knowing that I was not on the court was motivation for my teammates to step up in my role," Gardner said.
Henrickson said sophomore forward Caelynn Manning- Allen gave the Jayhawks "good minutes off the bench," scoring a career-high eight points, but was also in foul trouble, fouling out with 1:30 remaining.
"She's been behind a little bit, due to her injury early in the season, but has gotten better over break," Henrickson said.

Freshman guard Lauren Aldridge also topped her career high with 14 points. Senior guard Natalie Knight was the other Jayhawk in double-figures with 11 points.
"It was a little bit of a letdown, but we played overall better today," Knight said.
The Jayhawks (9-9, 0-5 Big 12) will travel to Texas Tech on Wednesday.

Ahearn Field House was the setting for the Kansas men's and women's track and field second indoor meet of 2015 on Saturday. The Jayhawks were one of the three teams competing in the triangular, with Wichita State and host Kansas State being the other two. With four event victories and 12 runner-up finishes, Kansas ended the day with 202 total points, claiming third place in the meet.
The men totaled 105 points, eight ahead of the women with 97. The Jayhawks were just 15 points behind Wichita state, which finished with 217. Kansas State grabbed the top spot with 261 points.
In the men's 3,000 meters, Kansas dominated the rest of the field to take home the first three spots. Junior Evan Landes led the way, clinching a time of 8:26.33. Not far behind freshman Chris Melgares
and senior James Wilson in second and third.
The Jayhawks swept the 400 meter races, grabbing first in both the men's and women's sides.
Sophomore Whitney Adams posted the third fastest time in the event in the Big 12 this year, finishing with a time of 57.55. Adams narrowly beat the Wildcats' Sarah Kolmer, who ended with a time of 57.58. On the men's side, senior Kenneth McCuin finished with an impressive sub-50 second time of 49.58.
In addition to the men taking the top three spots in the 3,000 meters, they also claimed the first and second finishes in the 1,000 meters. Only .12 seconds separated senior Josh Munsch and sophomore Daniel Koech, with Munsch timing at 2:30.01 and Koech at 2:30.13.
In the long jump. All-American junior Sydney Conley finished second with a distance of 19.9 1/2 feet. Senior
Lindsay Vollmer finished third,
with a distance of 19-foot-34
With a leap of 6-foot-101/4 senior Jonathan Fuller finished third in the high jump. The height was the best of this year for any Jayhawk.
Although the Jayhawks saw some success Saturday, coach Stanley Redwine was adamant that the teams did not execute as well as they could have. Redwine said injuries played a factor in the performance.
"We have to look at the silver lining though because we had some people that really did step up and perform well," Redwine said. "The reality is we didn't show up and there are several areas where we still need to improve as we move into the heart of the season."
Kansas' next meet will be the Jayhawk Classic in Anschutz Sports Pavilion on Jan. 30, beginning at 9 a.m. It is the Jayhawk's final home meet on the indoor season.

Linebacker Ben Heeney played as a member of the West team in the East-West Shrine Game, the nation's longest-running college all-star game. The 90th edition of the Shrine Game took place in St. Petersburg, Fla., this year.
The first-team All-Big 12 linebacker posted six tackles in a 19-3 loss in this year's Shrine Game. Heeney impressed the NFL scouts with his versatility, contributing on both defense and special teams.
"I am pretty happy with how I performed this week and in the game," Heeney told KU Athletics in a press release. "I was able to make some plays on defense, but I am most happy with how I performed on special teams. The NFL scouts told us all week how important it is to show what you can do on special teams and I think I had a strong showing there today."
Heeney finished his
senior season with 127 tackles to finish second in the Big 12. Heeney was the first Jayhawk to play in the Shrine Game since Bradley McDougald and Tanner Hawkinson in 2013.
Earlier in the month, safety Cassius Sendish participated in the second annual Medal of Honor Bowl on the campus of The Citadel, located in Charleston, S.C.
Receiver Nick Harwell also competed Saturday on the other side of the country in Carson, Calif., for the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl. He hauled in two catches for 15 yards in his national team's 17-0 victory.
Sendish was a part of the American team that fell short 26-14 at the hands of the National Team. He was credited with three solo tackles. In addition to seeing action in the secondary, Sendish also saw playing time on special teams.
Harwell finished his lone year with Kansas as the second-leading receiver with 44 receptions and 470 yards, with a team-best five receiving touchdowns. He was dubbed as co-offensive player of the year for Kansas along with quarterback Michael Cummings.
The former team captain
ranked third on the team with 69 total tackles. Sendish also defended four passes, recorded one interception and had one fumble recovery.
Defensive back JaCorey Shepherd is the lone Jayhawk who has yet to play. He is set to participate in the Senior Bowl on Saturday.
The Senior Bowl is considered the premier showcase event for seniors. The 65th edition of the Senior Bowl will be located in Mobile, Ala. Shepherd is the first Jayhawk to be selected to the Senior Bowl since Nate Dwyer in 2001.
Shepherd led the conference with 19 passes defended, which ranked him fourth nationally. He was selected to the All-Big 12 first-team after his stellar senior campaign.
The game and every practice the week leading up to the game will be televised on NFL Network.
