Second-half surge helps 'Hawks
Kansas women improve to 15-5 overall and 7-3 in the Big 12
Continued from page 1B
"That was for Arizona," Johnson said. "I knew they were looking for a three and I just happened to be in the right place."
Johnson's defensive stop capped off the final 10 minutes in which neither team led by more than three points, and the teams exchanged the lead six times with three ties. Kansas guard Suzi Raymant hit two clutch free throws with 19 seconds remaining.
Johnson scored all 12 of her points in the second half, and freshman point guard Jennifer Jackson made 12 of her 15 points after intermission. In about eight minutes of the second half the two freshmen combined for all 14 of the Javhawks' points.
"In the first half we were a little surprised and rattled by their trapping defense and the size of the crowd," Jackson said. "In the second half we were more aggressive, and I got a lot of oenen looks."
Kansas, 15-5 overall and 7-3 in the Big 12, also held on to the ball better in the second half. The Jayhawks had five turnovers in the second half after committing 16 in the first half.
Sophomore forward Lynn Pride paced Kansas with 17 points and 11 rebounds.
"This game meant a lot," Pride said. "The intense rivalry made this a big game. We wanted to come out and beat this team."
Kansas State, 9-11 overall and 3-7 in Big 12 play, was led by center Angie Finkes who scored 18 points and grabbed six rebounds. Guard Brit Jacobson added 15 points and seven assists and Jenny Coalson chipped in 13 points for the Wildcats.

Fans deliver flowers to Washington memorial
By Kevin C. Wilson Kansan sportswriter
Fans presented Kansas women's basketball coach Marian Washington with bouquets of flowers to honor her for 25 years at the University of Kansas prior to the women's game Saturday.
Washington said that she was surprised and thankful.
"This is a great year, and I couldn't let myself think about the 25 years I've been here because I'd probably have gotten emotional and I still had a game to coach." Washington said.
"I'm really proud of the players that have come into this program and helped to get it to where it is."
she said. "I just love this university very much."
Washington said that she appreciated the flowers, especially because some of them came from students.
"We've been working all season to get the students to come out and support us," Washington said. "To have them present me with flowers really means a lot."
The Iota Phi Theta fraternity organized the event.
Center Koya Scott praised Washington for her contributions to women's basketball at Kansas.
"Her work ethic and dedication to her players impress me the most." Scott said. "She gets all the credit for developing this program."
