Women's team drops opener to Minnesota
Kansas wins first game despite shooting woes in second half
Kansan sportswriter
The No. 16 Kansas women's basketball team was not able to overcome poor second-half shooting against Minnesota last night, losing 82-76 to the Gophers in the opening game for both teams.
The Jayhawks, who trailed by one point at halftime, shot 32.4 percent from the field in the second half while the Coyotes scored 31.8 percent of its field goals after halftime.
Kansas was able to reduce a double-digit deficit in the second half with the help of three three-point shots by freshman guard Charisse Sampson, but the Gophers held on for the victory.
"We were never really in sync tonight," she said. "Coming back to make it as close as we did, it certainly indicates our potential. But we're not there yet."
Kansas coach Marian Washington said the Jayhawks showed some promise in defeat.

Junior center Lisa Tate was the Jayhawks' leading scorer with 17 points and tied sophomore Angela Aycoe for the team-high in rebounds with 11.
Washington said that Kansas still was looking to fill the void left by the loss of five players from last year's team.
"The difference for us right now with our ball club is we're looking for a leader," she said. "We certainly have the best players and do as quickly as possible."
Kansas, 0-1, plays No. 13 Southwest Missouri State on Dec. 8 at home. The Lady Bears defeated the Jayhawks 75-59 last year in the first round of the NCAA tournament in front of 7,652 fans in Springfield.
Aycock and Samson scored 13 and 11 points, respectively. Kansas senior guard Stacy Truitt was the other lay-away in double figures, scoring 15 points.

The No. 3 Kansas men's basketball team opened its regular season with a 76-65 victory against Georgia last night. But the Jayhawks were plagued by poor shooting in the second half, prompting Kansas coach Williams to express disappointment.
"I'd like to say some positive things," Williams said. "But we stunk it up for 20 minutes."
The Jayhawks led the Bulldogs for the entire game and were up 50-20 at halftime. But with 10 minutes left in the game, the Bulldogs threatened the Jayhawks, cutting *the deficit to only 10 points.
"Even with a 20-point lead, I didn't feel very safe," Williams said. "I knew that they would not quit, but also I didn't think that we would quit."
"But I am a guy that firmly believes that you can learn just as much from a win as you can from a loss. It is a 40-minute game, and if you expect to beat the opponents on our schedule, you got to be able to play well for 40 minutes."
Williams, who had experimented during two preseason exhibition games with different starting lineups, started senior guards Rex Walters and Adonis Jordan, senior center Eric Pauley and junior forwards Richard Scott and Darrin Hancock
Scott led all scorers with 18, while Hancock had 14 points in his regular season debut. Both had eight rebounds.
Point guard Jordan led the play-making for the Jayhawks with six assists. He also scored 10 points, including 2-for-4 shooting from the three-point line.
Jordan said that the team's poor performance in the second half would serve as a warning for the team. The Jayhawks play No.2 India Saturday at the Hoosier Dome in Indianapolis.
“If we're going to be a good team, we need to get through everything,” Jordan said. “If they're not going to quit, and they keep pushing, we're going to have to keep at them. We better play hard no matter what they're doing.”
The Jayhawks slowed the tempo down and scored only four points during the final five minutes for the victory.
Shooting guard Walters shot only 2-for-10 from the field. He finished with seven points, less than half of the 16 he averaged last season. Long after the fans filed out of Allen Field House, Walters returned to the playing floor to work on his game.
In the second half, Hancock grabbed a rebound and took the ball up the court with Kansas junior guard/forward Patrick Richey sprinting 15 feet away alongside him. During the two-on-one fast break, Hancock passed to Richey, who quickly passed back to Hancock. Hancock dunked it, giving the Jayhawks a 15-point lead with seven minutes remaining.
"We played hard, but it just didn't work out the way we wanted it to," Walters said. "Georgia had a lot to do with that. They took us out of our offense. They played a very physical game."
Sophomore guards Calvin Rayford and Sean Pearson made their regular season debuts. Pearson finished with nine points,
which included a 3-for-3 performance from the three-point line. Rayford, the smallest player in Kansas history at 5-foot-6, missed the first two exhibition games in November for disciplinary reasons and played for only five minutes last night. He did not score but had one assist.
"That wasn't the real me out there," Rayford said, who is known for his fearless drives to the basket and his flashy passes. "I should do better as the season goes on."
Last night's victory was the 38th consecutive December victory for the jawhawks.
we were in the game, and we had the opportunity to win," he said. "It's frustrating, but we're pleased that we're going to leave here with some confidence and some pride. When our guys wake up, they're going to be disappointed that they lost, but they'll know they played well against a very good team."
Carlos Strong and Dathon Brown led the Bulldogs in scoring with 11 points apiece. Georgia coach Hugh Durham said that although his team lost, they had a lot to be proud of.
ansas made 51 percent of its shots in the first half, but only 30 percent in the second.
Several Kansas dunks brought the crowd to its feet throughout the game, including one early, when Walters dove for a loose ball, knocking it to Hancock. Hancock threw a full-court outlet pass to Scott, who quickly slammed it with one hand, giving the Jawhays an early 7-2 lead.
The Kansas Junior Varsity team won its first game of the season against Labette County Community College, 77-75. The game was played before the Kansas-Georgia game, Kansas guard Scott Novosel made a jump-shot at the buzzer for the victory. The JV squad plays Emporia State JV at 7:30 p.m. tonight in Allen Field House.
NOTES:
Ed Manning, an assistant coach for the NBA's San Antonio Spurs, attended the game to see his son Danny Manning's jersey retired at halftime, but also to scout the Jayhawk seniors who could possibly be drafted next summer. Doug Gardner, a scout from the Detroit Pistons, also attended.
