Jayhawks find foul trouble in tough loss to Iowa State
MAX GOODWIN

Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson has just nine players on her roster at the moment, and just three of them have the size to play in the post.
On Wednesday night, as the Jayhawks lost to Iowa State 83-68, the three post players for Henrickson combined for 12 points, 11 rebounds, 4 blocks and 13 fouls. Yes, 13 fouls.
Senior forward Carolyn Davis fouled out with two points and zero rebounds, and fouled out after just 18 minutes played. When Davis has zero rebounds, the Jayhawks chances of winning are not much greater than zero, unless sophomores Chelsea Gardner and Bunny Williams are able to make up for those lost rebounds, and though Williams pulled down six off of the bench, it was not enough.
The layhawks were led in re-bounds by the smallest player on
the roster, 5-foot-4 point guard senior Angel Goodrich.
Goodrich's 21 points, nine assists, seven rebounds and four steals were not enough for the Jayhawks to power the Jayhawks past Iowa State. Senior Monica Engelman provided 20 points also, but aside from the two senior guards, there was just not much fuel from the rest of the Kansas players.
"We were good in stretches, but the last stretches lasted too long," Henrickson said. "Both (Angel and Monica) played confidently, but we just didn't have enough around them tonight. We really shot it and had good rhythm (early on), and I thought we were a lot better, but we had too many stretches with not much (offense) inside and defensive lapses."
Kansas made runs to keep the game close in both halves, but they didn't have the fire power to keep up for 40 minutes.
Kansas made 10 3-pointers, the most this season, but the Jayhawks
are not a team that expects to win on the outside.
Henrickson has emphasized many times this season that Kansas needs to establish an offensive post presence above all else, and the Jayhawks never did establish anything in the paint on Wednesday.
The Cyclones had four players score in double figures, led by forward Chelsea Poppens with 22. Poppens made it to the free throw line 13 times, and made 12 of those shots, demonstrating further just how much the foul trouble caused problems for Kansas.
In all, the Cyclones shot 17-of-20 from the free throw line, with double the opportunities that they gave up to the Jayhawks.
Those fouls and a lack of rebounding let what could have been a valuable Big 12 road win, and a season sweep of Iowa State, slip between Kansas's hands.

Penn State pounced on the mistakes.
DJ. Newbill added 17 points for the Nittany Lions, who hit a season-high 10 3-pointers. Marshall scored 19 in the second half,
"It was a chip play that we run ... Coach put the ball in my hand and he had trust in me," Marshall said. That was not the kind of luck that the Nittany Lions have been used to, ever since leading scorer and point guard Tim Frazier went down with a left Achilles injury four games into the season.
"Tonight, it's a relief. All the hard work, practices and shoot-arounds paid off for us," Newbill said.
They had to adjust on the fly, with combo guard Newbill sliding over to the point, and Marshall needing to assume more ball-handling duties. Chambers, a never-say-die cheerleader, convinced his team to keep fighting through the adversity.

"The ball finally bounced our way," Chambers said. "Trey Burke strips D.J. at halfcourt and kicks it out of bounds ... that's usually what we do."
Michigan's Glenn Robinson III misfired on a 3 with 17 seconds left. Sasa Boroovjian (nine points) had a memorable Senior Night, hitting two foul shots with 15 seconds left to seal the win.
Midway through the second half, Michigan controlled the lane with dunks and cuts to the bucket. Long-range shooting gave the Wolverine breathing room after Nik Stauskus (12 points, eight reboundsl) and Hardaway hit 3s on back-to-back possessions to help build the short-lived 15-point lead after Penn State had drawn within 49-45.
All five of Michigan's losses have come on the road in the Big Ten — none worse than Wednesday night's defeat. Michigan finished February with a 3-4 record, heading into a showdown Sunday with No. 9 Michigan State.
