"She's hitting the ball so hard," LaMere said. "She's really coming along. She's a lot more consistent than she has been in the past."
Rome said she worked to improve all areas of her game during the off-season, and was pleased with the results.
"I'm getting up and swinging a lot harder than I usually would to make more shots," she said.
The Jayhawks' hitting efficiency of 42 percent dwarfed the Shockers' 2 percent.
"That just means our setter had more choices than their setter," Bechard said.
Bechard talked after Tuesday's practice about improving transition offense and initial defense.
"Transition was OK, but I really thought initial line of defensive blocking was a lot better," Bechard said.
The Jayhawks will host Montana, Portland and Georgia Southern in the Hampton Inn/Jayhawk Classic, which begins at 11 a.m. Friday at the Horejsi Family Athletic Center.

Joey Barghini, St. Louis Park, Minn., freshman and Justin Kaplan, Leawood freshman, battle it out in a game of NBA 2K1. Both Barghini and Kaplan were athletes when they were attending high school but do not play at the collegiate level.
Former high school athletes adjust to new life
Students fill idle time with Sega intramurals, and yes, homework
By Adam Tilsner Kansan sportswriter
Joey Barghini and his roommate Justin Kaplan sit in Kaplan's room playing NBA 2K1 on Sega Dreamcast.
"It's different," Barghini said. "I feel like I should be at practice right now, but instead, I'm just not doing anything."
Barghini, St. Louis Park, Minn., freshman, is among the thousands of students at the University of Kansas who played a sport in high school, but do not play at a collegiate level.
While a select few move on to Division I college sports, thousands of other ex-high school athletes are left to play at small colleges.
Others come to large schools and either play intramurals, or in some cases, video games.
As a three-sport athlete at St. Louis Park High School, Barghini was always at practice, or at a game, or was in the weight room. Now, Barghini's life is different.
"I have way too much free time, and I don't really have the competitive spirit I had." Barghini said.
Kaplan, Leawood freshman, also was a letter-winner in high school. He looked at several small schools, but decided some things were more important than playing basketball.
"I wanted a full college experience, and that meant not playing basketball." Kaplan said. "Of
ball. Ruplan said course, I'm going to miss basketball, but Robinson is just down the street."
For many other students, not playing a sport in college is a blessing in disguise. Jen Hanna, Columbia, Md. sophomore, went to Washington College in Maryland with the expectation of playing
lacrosse.
She transferred to KU last spring, and was happy that she didn't stay in Maryland to play lacrosse.
"When March first rolls around, I feel like I should break out my stick, but I think I'm a lot better off here."
Nonetheless, she still misses

playing. Hanna said that if she had time, she would play club lacrosse.

Griffin was arrested outside Tom and Jerry's again on July 13. He failed to stop after hitting a car while leaving the parking lot and he was again charged with possession of marijuana.
Law: Drug charges

Kinsey, who had just completed his freshman year at Kansas which saw him redshirt in football and leave the basketball team midway through the season, was also arrested on June 12 along with football teammate Reggie Duncan for stealing the purse of University student Lindsay Douglass.
Douglass left her purse unattended outside Bailey Hall when it disappeared. She remembered both Kinsey and Duncan being nearby when she left.
The two football players were arrested by campus police after allegedly using a stolen credit card from the purse to order pizza.
Douglas' purse was found in a sewer near the Hawyawker Towers,
where Duncan and Kinsey live.
Duncan has also had an additional run-in with the law. He was arrested and charged with theft of less than $500 last September for shoplifting at Target, 3201 S. Iowa St. He agreed to a diversion program that would wipe his record clean of the incident if he didn't break the law during a one-year span.
Lawrence municipal attorney Tom Porter filed a motion to revoke Duncan's diversion agreement last week.
Allen suspended Duncan and Kinsey for the season opener against Southwest Missouri State for "violating team rules." The Kansas football program refused to discuss the issue further, or specify the rules that were broken.
Allen said both players will play Saturday against UCLA. Duncan will start at running back, and Kinsey might see time at quarterback, although Zach Dyer will get the starting nod.

"I was surprised because last year he would beat me every time, but this year he didn't really beat me. We went at it, and it was pretty much even."
Gooden took that confidence to the courts in Santa Barbara, Calif., site of Michael Jordan's basketball camps. There, Gooden squared off in camp scrimmages with Jordan, and NBA players Baron Davis, Andre Miller, Quentin Richardson and Darius Miles.
Gooden said the scrimmages in Santa Barbara gave him the opportunity to improve, as well as take on some talented NBA players.
Williams said that Gooden's hard work over the summer would pay off.
"The best part of his game is he's so versatile," Williams said. "He can do so many things. He must do all of those things better, on a more consistent basis. No question his work habit has improved."
Gooden is considered by many experts to be a potential lottery pick in the 2002 NBA Draft, but said he would rather concentrate on the coming season than talk about his

chances at going pro.
"Last year I still thought that I needed another year," he said. "Next spring I might think that I need another. I've been taking everything a year at a time. But I don't want to think about that now. I want to look forward to the season."
Gooden said that playing at the Jordan camp showed him the difference between professional and collegiate players.
"I got to see what the pro players are like," Gooden said. "They're so good mentally. They can have a bad game and bounce right back. But college players might have a few bad games in a row because they can't bounce back."
