Missouri game gives Kansas last chance for Big 12 entry
Today's game ends regular season play for the Jayhawks
BY JOEL PETTERSON jpetterson@kansan.com
It's hard to imagine a bigger way for Kansas to end its regular season than with today's game.
Not only is it Senior Day for one of the most talented coaches Mark Francis has had, it's also the last chance for the team to earn a spot in the Big 12 tournament.
Oh, and they're playing border rival and No. 20 Missouri.
So what does Francis tell his team leading up to a game of this magnitude?
This afternoon's game, which starts at 3 p.m. at the jayhawk
"There's not really much you have to say. They know it's a big game, I don't really have to tell them that," he said. "I think the biggest thing for me is that we make a fight of it."

Soccer Complex, will be about more than just a Missouri-Kansas rivalry, as the last hopes for a postseason berth are at stake for Kansas. The Jayhawks must win their match, but they also need Baylor to lose at Oklahoma or Texas Tech to lose at Colorado.
It's a daunting situation, but even more daunting considering Kansas' opponent. Missouri (12-4-3, 7-0-2 Big 12) has already earned the Big 12 regular season title with a sixpoint cushion over No. 2 Texas A&M. The Tigers are without a loss in conference play and undefeated in their last 10 games, with their last loss coming from No. 5 UCLA on Sept. 20.
Francis said Missouri's speed and aggressiveness sets it apart from other teams.
"They do what they do very,very
well, and they've obviously had a lot of success with it." he said.
Missouri's direct offense has the most goals and assists in the Big 12 during conference play. Francis said his team will have to be quicker than usual to control the tempo of the game against Missouri's speed.
"Their style is different than any team we've played thus far this year," junior midfielder/forward Caitlin Noble said. "They play with a three-four-three, and we haven't played that formation yet."
At least one statistic favors the Jayhawks: They haven't lost to Missouri at home since 1996. And they know that streak can't be broken if they want to keep playing this year.
"I don't think it really hit me yet that it could be the last game," freshman midfielder/forward Shelby Williamson said. "No one wants to just be done."
It would be the first time in 10 years that Kansas didn't make the Big 12 tournament. That would seem an odd distinction for a team that many players say is the best the

school has had in recent years.
"I don't want it to be our last game because this is one of the better teams we've had at KU, and we haven't lived up to our full potential yet," Noble said. "I know we could
win the Big 12 tournament, I just want to get there."
And, for the five seniors, there will be an extra dose of motivation as they play their last game on the Jayhawk Soccer Complex turf.
"I'm not going to let this be my last game," senior defender Estelle Johnson said. "I think we're all pretty determined not to let this be our last game."
Fall schedule allows team to practice the basics to prepare for regatta

ROWING
BY BEN WARD bward@kansan.com
For the experienced members of the Kansas rowing team, the fall season essentially boils down to a few scrimmages used to gauge the competition. For the team's freshmen, however, it means much more.
"It's the first race for all of the

freshmen, which is really important for them," coach Rob Catloth said. "Most of them are walk-ons, so it'll be their first time in the water at the collegiate level."
And they'll get their chance when the Jayhawks travel to Wichita on Sunday to compete in the Frostbite Regatta. Catloth said that everyone on the team would see action, mostly in either the Collegiate Eight or Collegiate Four races — if Mother Nature feels like cooperating, that is.
Kansas' last meet, the Oct.
10 Sunflower Showdown in
Manhattan was canceled because of inclement weather. In this short fall season, the lajhawks have only competed in one event, the Boot of the Oklahoma on Oct. 3. Still, the team enjoyed a strong outing, albeit nearly a month ago. It finished near the top of the field in every event in which it entered
The time away from competition has provided the team with plenty
of time to work on the basics, said Catloth. He considers this to be the essence of the fall part of the schedule.
"This is mainly our conditioning time of the year," Catloth said. "So we've been focused on the fundamentals and technical aspects while simply getting into racing shape."
classmen will be gearing up for the regular season in the spring. Catloth will also be looking to them for leadership on Sunday.
"I expect some of those freshmen will be nervous," Catloth said. "But our older players will help them out and show them support."
