The final round starts Sunday at 9:30 a.m. with San Diego State and Florida State. The tournament concludes with the Jayhawks playing the Golden Knights of Central Florida at noon.
The tournament, returning after a two-year hiatus, will see matchups between Central Florida, San Diego State, Florida State and Kansas.
Kansas coach Mark Francis said the team was a little tired this week in practice, but by yesterday's practice the players were feeling energized. He said the team had a opportunity to work on some of the mental errors it faced in Tuesday's game.
Central Florida and San Diego State meet in the tournament's first game at 2:30 p.m. today at SuperTarget Field. The Jayhawks then face Florida State in the second game of the tournament at 5 p.m.
"I think as poorly as they played, and we let them know, they will be ready to come back and play well," he said.
Florida State should give Kansas a tough game. Though the team is 1-3-0 on the season, the Seminoles have lost to top-25 teams like 22nd ranked USC, No.7 Penn State and the sixth ranked Florida Gators. The Seminoles only victory thus far was over Jacksonville 3-1

Sunday's game against Central Florida will finish out the tournament. The Golden Knights are 3-1-0 on the season coming into Lawrence, recording victories over Pittsburgh, South Florida and Miami. The team's only loss this season came against No. 6 Florida last Sunday.
Senior Maggie Mason said two victories this weekend could play an important role in Kansas' chances of getting a bid to the NCAA Tournament.

UCF returns seven starters from last season's squad, with three sophomores making up the core of key returners.
The Jayhawks will not face San Diego State in the tournament. The Aztecs finished 13-7-0 last season with a 5th place finish in the Mountain West Conference.
Kansas junior forward Rachel Gilfillan said the Jayhawks wanted to spread out their offensive threats. After recording a goal and an assist in Tuesday's game against Southwest Missouri State, Gilfillan said she felt like a hidden weapon.

"With Caroline being such a focus for other teams," she said.
"I see it as an opening for me, and other forwards, to really step it up."

KUJH revives past sports matches

KUJH has begun to show Kansas football games from years past as part of its new format.
In an era when old school is intertwined with the culture of sports, the University of Kansas' KUJH television channel is joining the mix.
"We've tried to establish a new format since February or March designed around KU legends," said Gary Hawke, general manager of KUJH. "We focus on some current stuff along with the history of KU."
Since the beginning of the school year, KUJH has aired six old football games that highlight some memorable Jayhawk moments.
In a partnership with Spencer Research Library and Sunflower Broadband, KUJH receives old Kansas athletic games to broadcast.
Among the games the station has aired is a 43-29 victory over Missouri on Nov. 23, 1991. On that cold November afternoon,
Jayhawk running back Tony Sands, known as Tuxedo Tony because he wore a tuxedo to every game, set an NCAA record of 396 rushing yards.
The other games are a victory over Oklahoma State in 1990 and victories over Kansas State and Oklahoma along with an Aloha Bowl victory against Brigham Young on Christmas Day in 1992. The 1992 campaign resulted in an 8-4 record and Kansas' first bowl appearance since 1981.
appearance since the The most recent game aired was a 21-20 loss to Nebraska in Lawrence on Nov. 6, 1993. Former Kansas coach Glen Mason decided to go for a two-point conversion late in the game instead of the tie. The play resulted in an incomplete pass and a failed attempt for the first Kansas win against Nebraska since 1968.
Hawke said the station had access to about 100 games but some problems had occurred.
"We're still working on getting access to some games," Hawke said. "We wanted to show the Aloha Bowl game from 1995, but we don't have the rights to access it because it is from ABC."
Even with the process of trying to obtain old games from national television stations, Hawke said the station attempted to explain the situation to companies such as ABC.
"We try to call them and explain to them that because we are in a university setting, we are not going to use these games for profit," Hawke said. "Those games will just sit there and they won't be replayed except for maybe a clip for something else."
Last spring, KUJH replayed the men's basketball game against Marquette from Dec. 1, 1990, through the efforts of volunteers willing to record the game onto new digital files. Hawke said this fall was the first time that a production class at the University had been created to work on the production of the games.
practice.
“When we had volunteers the problem was that the student had to be willing to sit there for three hours and record the game onto a digital format,” Hawke said.
oğularlı Hawke said KUJH had plans to replay several more old football games this fall and continue the
new format into basketball season. KUJH was also planning to give some airtime to other Jaya hawk sports by replaying women's soccer and volleyball games from this season.
In the near future, Hawke wants to put together a scheduled approach to the airing of the games. He said KUJH would like to put the airing times out to the public so people could plan to watch a particular game.
Nearly a month into the showing of the football games, Hawke said the format had been well received.
received
"i probably get a couple of messages a day from people who want to see a particular game, replay a game or obtain a copy of the game," Hawke said.
Matt Moran, St. Louis senior, said he thought the games should give the football team and the University a sense of pride.
"Those games make me really wish we had a better football team," Moran said. "More wins would mean a better sense of school spirit."
