The Aggies have lost seven of their last eight games and have yet to win a Big 12 Conference game on the road this year. On the other side, Kansas is 6-0 this year in Allen Field House.
Kansas wants to bounce back from a 72-56 defeat Saturday to No.5 Texas Tech. The loss broke a four-game winning streak for the Jayhawks that began Jan. 10. Coach Marian Washington said she wanted her team to view the loss as a learning experience.
"Our team is looking to take another step," Washington said. "Hopefully, we can benefit from this and look ahead to playing another hard team."
Washington said she was going to mix things up to see if the
team could be more productive at the beginning of the game.
Lynn Pride: Leads Kansas with an average of 15.6 points per game.
"We may see a change in the starting lineup," Washington said. "We are looking to try and be more effective in the first five."
