Instead, WNBA stars Tameka Dixon and Lynn Pride sat on the sideline as the 'Hawks lost 73-48 to Oklahoma State. The Cowgirls (11-9, 3-4 Big 12 Conference) handed Kansas (5-16, 0-8) its eighth straight loss and extended the longest losing streak in school history. The Jayhawks shot 34 percent from the floor and were outmuscled on the boards the entire game. "They were much more physical than we were, and we just weren't able to respond," Kansas coach Marian Washington said. Foul trouble plagued Kansas guard K.C. Hilgenkamp throughout the contest. "It hurt that K.C. wasn't out there, that's for sure," Washington said. "For her to get three quick fouls is unusual. I thought that maybe she was just pushing too hard." After picking up her third fowl with 9:00 left in the first, Hilgenkamp sat on the bench as her team dug itself into a 40-25 halftime deficit. Washington hoped to jump-start the Jayhawks' offense in the second half by leaving her seniors on the bench. Seldom-used freshman Valerie Migicovsky joined sophomores Leila Menguc and Sharonne Spencer in starting the half. Freshmen Blair Waltz, who returned to the Jayhawks after a foot injury, and Chelsea Thompson rounded out the lineup. "I've got to let these young players play now; we're just at that point," Washington said. "They're going to be the ones that will be a part of the future and I've got to make sure they get a chance to play." Kansas' youngsters missed the first seven shots of the half, and the 'Hawks did not score until senior center Nikki White finished a three-point play five minutes into the half. White ended with a season-high 15 points, along with six rebounds in 24 minutes. "I really appreciate my teammates." White said. "They really look for me more on the inside and I focused on finishing no matter what." Washington said she was impressed by White's play. "She's real consistent whether she's playing great basketball or she's just having to be there to encourage," said Washington of her center. "I thought Nik really worked hard to carry us as much as she could." CHRISTINA NEFF/KANSAN Kansas center Nikki White pushes through Oklahoma State's forward Tari Cummings during Kansas' 73-48 loss Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse. White lead the team with 15 points and six rebounds. Contact Scott at jscott@kansan.com. This story was edited by Brandon Stinnett. Reserve guard gives lift to team By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter four three-pointers in her last two games MANHATTAN Katie Hannon finally has her chance to shine. After spending her first three seasons as a reserve, the senior guard cracked the starting lineup, providing scoring punch to a team desperately needing it. Hannon scored a career-high eight points in the Jayhawk's 72-59 loss to Kansas State last night. She made her first career start last Saturday at Nebraska, finishing with six points on 2-of-3 shooting from three-point range. She sunk I trink my strong suit is the three-point shot," Hannon said. "Being 6-2, people don't really expect that out of me, and at the beginning, they tend to give it up to me." With freshman guard Blair Waltz sidelined with a stress fracture in her right foot, Hannon has assumed the duties as one of the Jayhawks' key outside threats. Kansas (5-15 overall, 0-7 in Big 12 Conference play) has been plagued by shooting trouble all season long, making Hannon's role even more important. "I feel more part of the team," Hannon said. "I've been more of a support role before Blair got hurt. While she's trying to heal her foot, I'm getting more significant playing time." Hannon, a Rochester, N.Y., native, saw action in 13 contests, and averages 2.7 points and 1.6 rebounds per game. Coach Marian Washington said that Hannon's outside presence was crucial in the Jayhawks' strong performance at K-State. "We don't have Blair with us, and Katie has stepped up and really played well for us on the offensive end," Washington said. Contact Wood at rwood@kansan.com. This story was edited by Brooke Hesler. SWIMMING CONTINUED FROM 1B have my best accomplishments," Horwitz said. "All four years I've kind of had little problems, and I'd just like for it to end like I've overcome all that stuff." Horwitz is looking forward to the senior meet against Arkansas on Saturday, where her parents, Barb and Ken, will be watching. Although the question of how fast she could have been without the injuries may linger in her mind, Hor- witz is just happy knowing she has made it to her senior season. "Right now, the biggest thing that I think I'd be most proud of is that I've finished," Horwitz said. "Because she's had surgeries and problems in the past three years, this year has been amazing," Burgess said. "She's been through almost everything and now she's having a blast, and I think the future is wide open for her." Contact Brox at abrox@kansan.com. This story was edited by Molly Gise. BASKETBALL CONTINUED FROM 1B att, 6-0 Big 12) faces No. 18 Missouri (15-5, 5-2) at 8 p.m. in Allen Fieldhouse. The game will be nationally televised by ESPN, and 21 NBA scouts—a typical game at Kansas draws about five—will be at the game. Rush thought about leaving Mizzou after last season — he averaged 21.1 points per game his sophomore year — but decided to stay for at least one more season. NBA scouts said Rush would've been a top pick if he had gone pro and Williams agreed. "I honestly felt if he had gone out last year he would have been one of the top 10 guys drafted," he said. Gooden said the Jayhawks would need to bring their A-game tonight. "We need to have one of those days where we play the best basketball we can possibly play," he said. "When it comes to Missouri, we have to put everything together." Contact Pacey at dpceye@kansan.com. This story was edited by Eve Lamborn. Kareem Rush was the preseason pick for Big 12 player of the Year by the media and coaches, but he might not top the ballots at the end of the season. Drew Gooden has made a case for the award so far this season.
