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

vis and sopnomore guard Cecel 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 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.
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

"We were just trying to stay as a team and stay positive with everything that has happened," sophomore forward Tania Jackson said.
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." Gooddrich said. "The second half, yes, but the first half we didn't do any of it. That dug us a hole."
came out and was aggressive."
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.
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."
