Angel Goodrich, Senior Point Guard
GAME TO REMEMBER
Angel Goodrich's second half. Goodrich led the Jayhawks with her aggressiveness and intensity in the second half. Her aggressiveness was matched by the rest of the team and helped lead to the victory. Goodrich scored 18 points after half time and recorded seven assists with just two turnovers.

GAME TO FORGET
Angel Goodrich, Senior Point Guard
Angel Goodrich's first half. Goodrich struggled to get into any kind of a rhythm in the first half. She scored six points, but took nine shots to get them and shot 0-of-5 on 3-pointers. She played all 20 minutes and has three assists while turning the ball over five times. The team struggled to find offense without its point guard playing the way she is capable of.

QUOTE OF THE GAME
Knight, Goodrich instrumental in OT victory over Cyclones
TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN
"It felt like the other shots that were like bricks. Once it went in I was relieved, I mean I was 0 for six, so for that to go in it felt really good."
Sophomore guard Asia Boyd yells in excitement after the hearing the buzzer for the end of the game during the match against Iowa State Wednesday night in Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas won against Iowa State in overtime with a final score of 78-75.

Sophomore guard Natalie Knight was not on the court as Kansas completed its 78-75 overtime victory against Iowa State, but she was instrumental in the 18-point comeback that made it possible.

run for the Jayhawks. Knight was responsible for eight of those 14 points.
KEY STATS
The score that brought Kansas to within one possession of the lead also forced Knight to the ground as she landed awkwardly on her right leg. Knight immediately grabbed the back of her knee in pain.
Knight was carried off the court by trainers as the crowd at Allen Fieldhouse fell eerily quiet. She left the game after scoring 21 points and shooting five of nine on threes.
It was with 1:48 left in regulation that Knight stole the ball from Iowa State point guard Nikki Moody and sprinted in the other direction and hit a lay-up that cut the lead to 63-60, the closest the Jayhawks had been since the Cyclones 23-20 lead in the first half.

"We were playing for her," forward Carolyn Davis said when asked about when Knight went down, "and we were playing hard. She had been a good spark for us."
3-point shot after a busted play Kansas then stopped Iowa State from scoring on the defensive end, sending the game into overtime.
"We just kept saying that we got this," Goodrich said when asked if she and Knight had any conversations before they led the Jayhawks. "We had it in our heads that we needed to get back into the game, and we only could do it by pushing and being more aggressive."
"She was huge for us," Goodrich said of Knight.
As the game ended and Kansas Coach Bonnie Henrickson spoke to the media, the severity of Knight's injury to her right knee was still undetermined.
Knight not only helped close the gap at the end of the game, but also scored eight of Kansas' first 10 points of the game.
