GAME TO REMEMBER
It didn't seem like it, but by the end of the game Goodrich finished the game with an Allen Fieldhouse record of 16 assists. Throughout the game Goodrich was feeding senior forward Aishah Sutherland and junior forward Carolyn Davis in the post for much of the game. Sutherland and Davis combined for 42 of the Jayhawks 85 points. Goodrich also put together a nice shooting night of her own with 16 points going 6 for 12 including three three-pointers.

GAME TO FORGET
Natalie Knight, Freshman Guard
Knight saw her role reduced a little tonight playing only 25 minutes on the night mainly because of the extra minutes to Asia Boyd. However, when she was in the game tonight Knight struggled to be effective. She finished the game with more fouls (four) than points (two). She also struggled handling the ball giving up three turnovers. It will be interesting to see how Knight's role continues to change in the upcoming weeks.

WOMEN'S BASK
Boyd proves herself against Longhorns
rmccarthy@kansan.com
The big question all year for Kansas women's basketball has been when is Asia Boyd going to get her chance to show why she was such a highly-touted recruit? Well, we got that answer on Wednesday night when the freshman from Detroit, Mich., finally saw extended playing time with 24 minutes in the game.
Throughout the year, Boyd and coach Bonnie Henrickson have had conversations about her position on the team. But Boyd texted Henrickson recently again about what she needed to get on the court, and coach told her to meet her before practice.
In the meeting she made it very simple. Henrickson wanted her to play like her fellow freshman Natalie Knight; stay within the offense, knock down shots, and don't make mistakes. With the absence of sophomore guard CeCe Harper because of a concussion Boyd took advantage of the extended time and finished with 11 points to contribute to the Jayhawks 85-61 defeat the Texas Longhorns on
"I was very confident just because the teammates gave me the confidence and I think they had a lot of belief of what I can do," Boyd said.
Even though Boyd stepped up, Kansas had plenty of the normal contributors doing the work we've seen from them all year.
Wednesday night.
Junior guard Angel Goodrich continued to show why she's one of the best guards in the conference, and maybe the country when she broke her own Allen Fieldhouse record of 16 assists for a single game. She also finished with 16 points.
"I'm not much of a numbers person, but having 16 assists mean that my teammates were ready to shoot," Goodrich said.
Goodrich held the team together after the jayhawks started to give up some of their substantial 16 point lead up to the Longhorns going into halftime. In fact, Texas got within three points at the 18:20 mark of the second half,

give the Jayhawks some breathing room.
The other big component to the Jayhawks win was senior forward Aishah Sutherland who put together an impressive double-double of 24 points and 12 rebounds. Although Sutherland didn't look the part in warm-ups she was ready from the get go to have an impressive night.
"I just came in thinking attack them," Sutherland said. "Attack them so they don't think they can be in the game, and that's what I did. I saw some open opportunities and took it."
Even with all the offensive suc
cess tonight, junior forward Carolyn Davis continued to stay right on her normal path going seven of 13 from the floor and tallying up 18 points.
With seven games remaining on the conference schedule, the Jayhawks hope they can continue to build off this win, especially when they go onto face their in-state rival Kansas State on Sunday.
"Right now were just focused at one game and they're the next game," Goodrich said. "We want to go in and get prepared for the next game and be able and do what we did tonight."
