"Renting a furnished apartment was so much more convenient," said Tammy Jameson, a graduate student from Stillwater, Okla. "We didn't have to go furniture shopping and worry about money being spent there."
Of course, if an apartment already has furniture, a newenter may not be able to put his or her spin on it.

"What I would recommend to new apartment shoppers is to definitely look for an apartment that's furnished," Jameson said. "I really can't think of living in any place that's unfurnished. It's just so easy when things are already here."

Apartments often come with a furnished kitchen including a stove and refrigerator. Other items such as microwaves and toasters will have to be purchased by the renter.
Besides winning against Ohio state and Texas Tech, Kansas' largest victory was by five points against Texas and West Virginia.
On the bright side, tough stretches of games like this can prepare the jayhawks for a great NCAA tournament run. The mental toughness builds in this stretch.
Still, this isn't something new to Kansas basketball.
Last year, the Jayhawks had to battle at Kansas State, Texas A&M and Oklahoma State to finish out the season.
If Kansas wants to win its ninth straight Big 12 title, the Jayhawks have no choice but to win these games. If the Jayhawks lose one game, they will have to hope for a loss to keep them in the running for the conference title.

for 62 of the Jayhawks' 81 points, and it was the second consecutive game in which Engelman has scored over 20 points.
It has become a theme that in each of Kansas' most recent wins, going back to the victory over Iowa State, the seniors have acted as leaders and played like veterans.
"There's poise and composure," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "There's a sense of calm, not without a heartbeat, but their huddles are tighter, their voices are louder"

Davis and her teammates are familiar with fighting back from double-digit margins in the second half as they did against TCU and Iowa State, but against Oklahoma on Sunday it was the Jayhawks trying to hold off Oklahoma's run. Herickson and Davis both agreed that those situations gave them a lesson of how to handle the lead.
Henrickson said she made
In the end, Davis had 24 points and 10 rebounds, Engelman had 21 points and five rebounds, and Goodrich had 17 points and 10 assists.
Sophomore Chelsea Gardner also contributed 10 points and nine rebounds in the game.
