Ultimately, Zenger's decision will come down to what he expects from the second team in Allen Fieldhouse.
If he's satisfied with WNIT runs and just-under-.500 conference records, he knows he can get that with Henrickson.

THE COST OF A FURRY FRIEND
The injury to Davis put Kansas to the test. The Jayhawks haven't responded and now need to win some tough games to have a shot at making the Big Dance.
Pets create a sense of home in an apartment, but require responsibility
If Zenger wants to make Kansas women's basketball a perennial NCAA Tournament team, one that can compete for a conference title every once in a while, he might be watching these last few games of the season with a careful eye.

Kansas has all the resources to compete on a national scale in women's basketball. We'll soon see if Zenger thinks Henrickson is capable of taking the program to another level.
Buying a pet might be the perfect way to add entertainment and comfort to your apartment life. However, before getting your own cat or dog, it's important to know if you have the time, space and money to accommodate your furry, new roommate.
"A dog is going to need to be taken out and get adequate exercise," said Mary Thompson from Potwin Pet Clinic. "Kitties need to have enough space for a litter box and there should be one litter box per cat."
With both dogs and cats, the amount of exercise they need depends less on the size of the animal and more on his or her energy level. It's possible to have a large dog who requires only short walks, but also possible to have a small dog who needs long walks. Similarly, cats can be naturally active or naturally sedentary. Much like people, it depends on the personality of the pet.
Mindy Pressman, a student from San Diego, has lived in both an apartment and a house with her dog, and has noticed a difference in the time she spends with her.
"What's interesting is she's an inside dog, so
Cost is a huge factor to take into consideration. According to Potwin Pet Clinic, vaccinations for a dog can cost about $78 each year. Flea, tick and heartworm preventative shots or medicine cost between $13.50 - $14.79 for both dogs and cats. While these preventatives are not required to have a pet in an apartment, without them an unwelcome infestation can occur.
Food costs are also something to keep in mind. According to Hills Pet Nutrition, the cost of food for a dog is about $73.00 per year for a 5 lb. dog and $467.00 for a 100 lb. dog. For a 5 lb. cat, food costs about $91.25, and for a 15 lb. cat, around $149.65. The price of food changes depending on the type, but be prepared for the unexpected. For instance, if your animal develops a health issue and requires a particular type of food, it can be more expensive than the average brand.
in the house I can just let her out," Pressman said. "But in an apartment, going to the bathroom was a walk, so she actually spent a lot of time outside."
Along with these minimums, there are many accessories that cats and dogs require Collars, leashes, scratching posts, carriers

and a litter box are just a few necessities a dog or cat needs. All together, these can cost anywhere from $166.00 to $450.00. In general, the larger the animal, the more it will cost. A large animal will eat more food, need bigger toys to play with, and will need larger doses of medicine if he or she gets sick.
apartments require a deposit and often do not allow certain types or sizes of animals.
With apartments, it's also important to remember that as much as you like your furry companion, there are many apartment complexes that do not allow pets. Also, most
Lastly, responsibility is important to remember. You must be home to feed a pet, keep a water bowl full and spend time with him or her. Similarly, you must clean up after, bathe and pay for any messes a pet causes.

Pet supplies, including collars and leashes, can cost up to $450.

CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN Junior guard Angel Goodrich covers her face with her jersey after the Kansas 70-65 loss against Missouri on Saturday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse. Goodrich scored 13 points and nine assists
Kansas gave up an 11-2 Missouri run and trailed 15 points at halftime. In the second half, the Jayhawks gained momentum and brought the game within three points with under one minute left. But Missouri's Christine Flores hit two free throws to capture the 'Tigers' first conference victory of the season.
"We were just trying to stay as a team and stay positive with everything that has happened," sophomore forward Tania Jackson said.
Harper in for junior guard Monica Engelman. Engelman was benched for the second time this season for a lack of productivity, according to Henrickson. The Jayhawks were out of rhythm and quickly fell behind 8-0 after two Missouri three pointers.
Kansas worked in practice on defending perimeter shooters, but gave up open looks to the Missouri guards, who hit seven of 12 shots from three point range and six of eight in the first

Senior forward Aishah Sutherland led the Jayhawks with 23 points. After starting just two of seven from the field in the first half, Sutherland hit eight of 10 shots in the second half to rally the Jayhawks. Defensively, she took on Flores, the biggest challenge, who finished the game with 24 points.
Junior guard Angel Goodrich finished with 13 points and nine assists, but was disappointed with seven turnovers.
"You can lose, but you have to go out there and give it your all." Goodrich said. "The second half, yes, but the first half we didn't do any of it. That dug us a hole."

Kansas has four games left in the season and they need three victories to end their 12-season NCAA Tournament drought.
"This is going to hurt us a lot," Goodrich said. "I feel like we can still finish strong and the only ones who can stop us are ourselves."
