Kansas junior guard Angel Goodrich does not know when she developed into a great passer, but she does know that it's a great quality to have now.

Goodrich was on full display this weekend at the Basketball Travelers Tip-off Classic at Allen Fieldhouse as she put together three passing clinics.
"To be honest, I've always been able to see the court really well," Goodrich said. "It just came naturally for me. I really look to get my teammates involved."
This court vision has paid off for Goodrich. On Sunday, she was named the most valuable player of the tournament.
"Honors are not what I'm looking for. I'm just doing what I need to do as a point guard," Goodrich said. "Getting my teammates involved, just playing ball, that's what I love to do."
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson has noticed Goodrich develop into a high-level player since last spring.

"She is more confident and more aggressive," Henrickson said. "She is playing at a really high level right now, and that's contagious."
On Friday, Goodrich helped propel the Jayhawks to their best-played game of the year with
To go along with the impressive stat line, Goodrich also made an impressive hustle play when she dove out of bounds and flipped the ball around her body before jumping over the cameraman near the basket.
Goodrich's hustle might be one of the better qualities that can help the lavhawks.
"If you think about how many plays we make and she is involved in that somewhere; it is either coming from her or she has made the right pass early to set something up." Henrickson said.
Lamar coach Larry Tidwell was also complimentary of how well Goodrich played against his team.
With the 71-50 win over IUPUI on Saturday, Goodrich continued her remarkable play with 17 points and 10 assists. This was her first double-double of the season.
"Kansas point guard is probably one of the best in the country and I've studied them all," Tidwell said. "This kid is unbelievable. She's strong, she shoots the jumper, she leads the team and plays great defense."

"We would have been in big trouble today without her. We would have been in big trouble
Goodrich finished the game with nine points, seven assists, and seven steals in only 21 minutes of action.
quite a few nights if it weren't for her." Hendrickson said. "She's our motor and our glue. Her pace and tempo are great. Defensively, she gets stops."
90-40 victory over Lamar.
On Sunday, Goodrich finished up her weekend with another impressive ten-minute stretch in the tournament finale against Florida Atlantic.
Before the Owls could even find their ground, Goodrich was dishing out all kinds of passes.
She put up another decent stat line, recording 13 points, 10 assists and four steals.
Developing a connection with Davis, especially with Jayhawks high-low game, has been important to the team's 6-0 start.
One player who deserves credit for Goodrich's success is junior forward Carolyn Davis, who also had an impressive tournament.
"I feel like we have a really good connection," Davis said. "I think that's what helps us with our passing."
Following the BTI Tipoff, the Jayhawks now have a few days to regroup and build on their momentum.
"It kind of gets you prepared for tournament time because it's the same kind of schedule," Davis said. "You have to play back to back. You have to pull out a lot of wins when you're tired."
