The Kansas women's basketball team (2-0) will have home court advantage in its three games in the Naismith Hall of Fame Women's Basketball Challenge tournament.
The first of three games will be Friday at 6 p.m. against the University of Alabama. On Saturday, the Jayhawks will take on Temple University at 4 p.m. Kansas will face Georgetown University at 2 p.m. on Sunday to conclude the tournament in Allen Fieldhouse.

UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA
Alabama (1-2) is led by sophomore forward Ashley Williams. On Tuesday night, Alabama fell 62-64 in a devastating loss to Jacksonville State. Williams had a career-high 26 points and nine total rebounds.

court, especially with their youngest starter, true-freshman guard Lauren Aldridge.
With only one senior starter, the Crimson Tide have a young team that's still developing, whereas the Jayhawks have strong chemistry on the
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS VS.
TEMPLE UNIVERSITY
These two teams haven't met since 2011, where Alabama defeated the Jayhawks 80-76. The only returning player from that contest is Kansas senior guard Natalie Knight.
The Temple University Owls (1-1) are led by freshman guard Alliya Butts, who put up 22 points, five assists and five boards in her second collegiate game.
The Jayhawks haven't faced the Owls in more than 23 years, so the contest will be one for the books. The Jayhawks will need to be more aggressive rebounding with sophomore center Safiya Martin on the Owl's roster, taking a game-high 14 boards against Saint Joseph.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS VS.
GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY
With Temple averaging 16 turnovers per game and the Jayhawks averaging 16.5, both teams need to control the ball in order to secure the victory.
The Georgetown University Hoyas, which were 1-1 before their match-up with Loyola University on Wednesday
night, will play the Jayhawks in the last game of the tournament in Allen Fieldhouse on Sunday afternoon.
The Hoyas are led by junior forward Dominique Vitalis,
who shot 87 percent from the free throw line against Richmond last Sunday.
With 20 turnovers last game,
Georgetown will have to protect
the ball. Georgetown's
opponents scored an average of 33 points off turnovers, and the key for Kansas will be to capitalize on takeaways.

Aldridge, guard
Lauren Aldridge, guard Aldridge bounced back from her rough shooting performance in the first game, hitting two of her four field goal attempts in a blowout win against Texas Southern. The Missouri native only played 23 minutes in that game, so she should be fresh and ready to go for the team's three upcoming games.
Natalie Knight, guard
Knight only needed to play 15 minutes against Texas Southern, but she was solid, putting up six points, four rebounds and three assists. The senior guard continues to be one of the key players for the Jayhawks, and she'll need to play well if the Jayhawks are going to make it through the weekend undefeated.
Asia Boyd. guard
Jada Brown, forward
Boyd has had a relatively slow start to the year, shooting just 37.5 percent from the field and 20.0 percent from three, and she'll be looking to play better in the team's upcoming games. Boyd averaged 11 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists in her junior season, and she'll look to get back to that level of play.
After a shaky season opener, Brown posted a solid performance against Texas Southern, scoring four points and racking up nine rebounds. While Brown's numbers weren't necessarily flashy, she did exactly what was asked of her. If she can continue to complement the starters with good overall play, the layhawks could be a dangerous team this year.
Chelsea Gardner, forward
Cherished Basketball, forward Gardner has been the only Jayhawk to score 10 or more points in each of the team's first two games, and she's leading the teams in both points and rebounds. Gardner is shooting 68.2 percent on the year, and as long as she can stay out of foul trouble, there's no reason to expect her numbers to dip.

ALABAMA
Ashley Williams, forward
Williams is off to a great 2014-15 season, averaging 18.3 points and seven rebounds per game. The Georgiaia is shooting 68 percent from the field this year, and she'll be key for the 1-2 Crimson Tide as they get ready to take on the Jayhawks.
Hannah Cook, guard
TEMPLE
Cook actually started the season coming off the bench, but after guard Sharin Rivers struggled in the opener against Florida A&M, Cook was thrust into the starting five. Since then, Cook has scored 37 points over two games, and she has a team-high five steals in that time.
Feyonda Fitzgerald, guard Fitzgerald started off her season with a monstrous performance against La Salle, scoring 29 points while racking up six rebounds and five assists in 34 minutes. Fitzgerald is shooting 45 percent from three on the season, and remarkably, she has only committed one turnover in 71 minutes of play.
Tanaya Atkinson, guard
Atkinson racked up an impressive double-double in the Owls' second game of the season, scoring 17 points and grabbing 11 rebounds. Through two games, the 5-foot-9 guard has managed to grab a team-high nine offensive rebounds, and she is shooting a strong 52.6 percent from the field.
Fevonda Fitzgerald, guard
this season, while shooting 50 percent from the field. Last year Georgetown went 11-21 in a season that featured both a six-game and a seven-game losing streak, and Vitalis will be looking to make the 2014-15 campaign different.

games. The 6-foot-1 guard has led the team in rebounds in both of the games, and she'll look to cause all sorts of problems for the Jayhawks on Sunday.
Dorothy Adomako, guard Adomako has shot just 32 percent from the field this season, but she's managed to average 14 points and 12.5 rebounds per game so far. She's racked up a double-double in each of the Hoyas' first two
