Senior forward Aishah Sutherland stole the ball and popped up a buzzer beater in her final appearance at Late Night in the Phog. This capped off a performance that included a block on junior forward Carolyn Davis and a rare three-point basket for Sutherland, a 6-foot-2 forward.
"I came out here to have fun to have fun with my teammates and we all had fun," Sutherland said. "We got to show our talents so that people out here who don't come to our games can come to our games."
Coach Bonnie Henrickson said she is expecting a lot from the senior forward this season.
"That is from a kid that I really think could be an x-factor."
Sutherland led the blue team to a 19-17 victory with five points, five rebounds and one block.
Henrickson said.
"You come out with more energy. You come out ready to play." Sutherland said. "People are there to watch you and you want to give them a show."

Henrickson said the speed, athleticism and talent would be the main draws for fans.
"We have players that are fun to watch," Henrickson said.
Davis led the white team with a game-high seven points, shooting 3-of-4 from the free throw line and 2-of-5 from the field.
Each player on the roster saw time on the court during the 12-minute scrimmage. Freshmen Donielle Breaux, a guard, and Chelsea Gardner, a forward, each turned in four points in their first
appearances in Allen Fieldhouse.
In the skit portion of the night, the players and coaches competed with different dances. Henrickson started the event lip-synching "I'm Every Woman" by Chaka Kahn. The two assistant coaches followed with a video skit and the players performed a skit after. They combined forces to show off the team's signature move; the wobble.
Henrickson said the team did "the wobble" through Italy on its international tour. She said it was a success because she did not fall over.
The jayhawks return seven players including four starters for the upcoming season. The team will host Fort Hays State on Oct. 31 in its first exhibition game.

Yoga can be a great way to improve strength, flexibility and overall health. It might seem intimidating at first with the number of poses, but it can be a simple way to stay in shape. All that is necessary to get started is a mat and a quiet space.
The sun salutation is a popular series of movements that can be a great way to start a yoga routine.
1. Start off in the mountain pose (see chart at bottom for definitions). Stand at the far edge of your mat with your feet shoulder width apart and your hands resting at your sides. Try to stand so your spine is in alignment, but don't be stiff. Take a few deep breaths.
2. Inhale and stretch your arms straight up towards the ceiling. Keep your palms together. You can even arch backward a little bit if it is comfortable.
3. Exhale and bend forward until your hands touch your feet. It's ok to bend your knees a little if the stretch is too much.
5. Exhale and step back into a plank position (it should feel as if you are about to do a pushup). Hold this position until you inhale again.
6. Exhale and do a pushup. However, instead of straightening your elbows back up to a plank position, inhale and stretch forward up into the upward facing dog pose. Arch your back while keeping your legs straight. Only the shins, feet and hands should be in contact with the ground.
4. Inhale and step the right foot back into a lunge. If this is comfortable for you, arch back and gaze toward the ceiling.
7. Exhale and stretch into the downward facing dog pose. You should feel a stretch in the back of your hamstrings. Try to distribute your weight evenly so you are not holding yourself up with your arms.
9. Exhale, bring the left foot forward to meet the right foot, and bend forward to touch your toes.
8. Inhale and step your right foot forward into a lunge.
10. Inhale and reach your arms up toward the ceiling, arching backward.
11. Exhale and return to the mountain pose.
Sun salutations can be repeated multiple times in a row. Pay careful attention to breathing, and let each movement flow into the next. You can take the poses at whatever pace feels right to you.
