COMMENTARY
People not only recognized the 5-foot-11 McCray, which in itself represents a change from the norm, but they also wished Kansas' top scorer well in the next day's game against South Florida.
Walking in downtown Lawrence the night before Kansas' WNIT championship game last Saturday, junior forward Danielle McCray experienced a rare, although growing, phenomenon around Lawrence.
"That was pretty cool," McCray said. "It's not just the guys getting all the love."
For much of this season — and for much of recent history — the excitement, talk and crowds for women's basketball paled when measured against nights when Bill Self paced the sideline.
Although the women's program may never be on the
same popularity level, the WNIT semifinal and championship games hinted that women's basketball is on the rise at Kansas.
A record 16,113 people flocked to Allen Fieldhouse for the WNIT title game, filling concourses and concession stands more than an hour before the game tipped off.
"They were so upset in the locker room because it means so much and hurts so much," Hendrickson said. "But we said 'guys, look what you've done.'"
When players exited a nearby parking garage headed for Allen Fieldhouse, fans offered encouragement. When Henrickson pulled up for Saturday's game, people had all ready begun tailgating.
It was the most people to ever see a game in a Big 12 arena. And it happened for a team that ranked eighth in attendance in the conference this season.
"Just by this game, even though we didn't win, it will help bring fans in for next year," McCray said. "They know how hard we work and how we came from the bottom."
But the near-sellout wasn't something Kansas expected after drawing paltry crowds in its first two WNIT home games.
Before Kansas's seminal game against Illinois State Henrickson
At the time, that answer appeared realistic, although considering Kansas combined for just 3,857 fans in its first two WNIT games, it may have been ambitious.
stood in a large room with reporters surrounding her and one question kept coming back up. That one question, asked in a variety of ways, that no one seemed fully sure of the proper — or accurate — answer: Could women's basketball draw a healthy-sized crowd?
But the Jayhawks drew 8,360 people in the semifinal and doubled that number in the championship.
"I'd be shocked if we don't have five or six thousand people," Henrickson said before the game. "I really would be."
those two totals merely a fad, a trend people latched onto for the time being, or do they represent the foundation of consistent fan support?
Therein lies the question: Were
"The next time we roll it out, we're going to be at Late Night in front of 16,000 people again," Henrickson said. "That's awful exciting, and I think we build from here."

Sabathia, Yankees upset with opening day effort
BALTIMORE — CC Sabathia and the New York Yankees know all about getting off to a slow start.
That didn't make their poor showing on opening day easier to digest.
Sabathia gave up six runs in his Yankees debut, and New York fell to the Baltimore Orioles 10-5 on Monday.
Signed to a $161 million.
seven-year contract during the offseason, Sabathia (0-1) allowed eight hits in 4 1-3 innings, walked five, threw two wild pitches and did not record a strikeout for the first time since July 25, 2005, at Oakland.
"I was terrible. I battled from the first inning on," Sabathia said. "At some point I'm usually able to find it. Today was just one of those days where I didn't. When I have one of those days, this is the result you get."

Judge rules Vick should remain in jail for hearing
NFL
RICHMOND, Va. — Michael Vick will head back to a Kansas prison after a judge rejected an effort Tuesday to keep the suspended NFL star in Virginia to work on a new bankruptcy plan.
U. S. Bankruptcy Judge Frank J. Santoro denied a motion Tuesday to require Vick to attend an April 28 status hearing on his case in Newport News.Vick's lawyers had hoped such an order would prompt U.S. marshals
and we'll have to deal with the case long distance," said Paul Campsen, one of Vick's bankruptcy attorneys.
Vick remained in the Suffolk jail late Tuesday, and it was unclear when he would be returning to the federal penitentiary in Leavenworth, where he is serving a 23-month sentence for bankrolling a dogfighting ring. Vick is scheduled for transfer to home confinement in Hampton, Va., on May 21 and for release from federal custody July 20.
to leave him at the Western Tidewater Regional Jail in southeastern Virginia until then.
Santoro had ordered Vick to testify in person at a hearing last week, but the judge ruled Tuesday that he did not need Vick at the next hearing because no evidence will be presented. Vick and his lawyers are developing a new plan for the 28-year-old former Atlanta Falcons quarterback to pay back his creditors after Santoro rejected Vick's Chapter 11 reorganization quarter on Friday
"It it just means he's going to end up back in Leavenworth,
