Aidridge had a rough performance against top-ranked Notre Dame last Sunday, as she had more turnovers than combined points and assists. She'll look to recover over the weekend, and it should only get easier for the freshman.
Chelsea Gardner, senior forward
Over the last two games, Knight is averaging 13 points, four assists and three rebounds. There's no reason to expect those numbers to dip anytime soon, and she'll be key if the Jayhawks are going to win the next two games against good competition.
Gardner held her own against the Fighting Irish, leading the team with 15 points, six rebounds and three steals. She is currently tied for 46th in the nation with 19.3 points per game, and she's 46th in the nation in field goal percentage at 57.6.

Haley Frias, freshman, guard Frias is second on the team in made field goals this year, but she hasn't been all that impressive early on. That being said, 33 of her 41 field goal attempts have been three-point shots, so the Jayhawks will need to know where she is at all times.
Jazmine Holman, freshman, guard
Aricka Adams,junior,guard Despite standing at just 5-foot-5. Adams is far and away the best player on the Cardinals, averaging 11.8 points,3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, while shooting 41.2 percent from the floor. That being said, Adams does lead the team in fouls with 20,averaging one foul for every nine minutes of action, so the Jayhawks will likely attack her early to try to get her in fool trouble.
