Women's basketball rewind: Washburn
Score:
Kansas defeated Washburn 78-58 at Allen Fieldhouse on Sunday afternoon.
Game to remember:
Senior guard Natalie Knight and senior forward Chelsea Gardner both had spectacular games, combining for 41 points on 22 field goal attempts. Gardner dominated the boards, racking up nine rebounds in 28 minutes of play. Knight, on the other hand, did a little bit of everything, grabbing four rebounds while picking up three assists, one block and one steal.
Game to forget:
Bunny Williams had a pretty forgetful game, failing to score a single point in 21 minutes of play. The senior forward managed to grab two rebounds in each half, but overall her impact on the game was not as big as she would've hoped.
Freshman guard Lauren Aldridge scored the first points of the game for the Jayhawks, before connecting on a three two minutes later. Aldridge had six points, one rebound
Unsung Hero:
and one assist in the first half, as she continued to show why she deserves her starting spot.
Player Kansas couldn't contain:
Center Honor Duvall was the best player for Washburn, scoring 14 points on 6-of-11 shooting. Duvall scored 12 of her 14 in the second half, and she helped keep Washburn in the game deep into the final period.
Firsthalf summary:
The Jayhawks dominated the first half, with Knight leading the way. Knight scored 12 points while shooting 80 percent from the field, as the Jayhawks took a 37-20 lead into half. Kansas' first half defense was stifling, as Washburn made just five of its 34 shot attempts in the first half, with its starters combining to make just one field-goal attempt.
Second half summary:
Kansas played poorly in the second half, only outscoring Washburn by three points. The Jayhawks were subpar defensively, as they would allow 38 points on 15- of 28 shooting. The Jayhawks also shot 35.7 percent in the second half, which was worse than they had shot in any other half
in the two exhibition games
Moving Forward:
After the game, coach Bonnie Henrickson mentioned that she was disappointed the Jayhawks only got to face about 10 possessions of zone defense from Washburn. The Jayhawks' first opponent, South Dakota, uses a 2-3 zone as a base defense, which mirrored the defense that Washburn played at the end of last season. However, the Ichabods chose not to use their zone very often, meaning Kansas still has a lot of work to do to prepare for South Dakota's defense.
By the numbers:
19 — Kansas had 19 turnovers against Washburn, losing the turnover battle for a second consecutive game.
21. 5 Through the two exhibition games, Chelsea Gardner averages 21.5 points and 9.5 rebounds per game.
38 - In their first two games, the Jayhawks found themselves up a combined 38 points at the end of the first half, but the Jayhawks have only outscored their two opponents in the second half by a combined three points.
