Louisiana Tech recently announced its 2005 football schedule, and Kansas was listed as one of its nonconference opponents. The Jayhawks and the Bulldogs will meet on Sept. 17, 2005, in Lawrence.
2005 KANSAS FOOTBALL SCHEDELE
"We think this schedule will be more attractive from a competitive standpoint," Jim Oakes, Louisiana Tech athletics director, said.
The two teams have met only once before, on Sept. 26, 1987. Kansas lost that game in Lawrence, 16-11. The Jayhawks went just 1-9-1 that season, tying one game against Kansas State.
Louisiana Tech, a member of the Western Athletic Conference, also has nonconference meetings with Florida of the Southeastern Conference and North Texas of the Sun Belt Conference.

The Jahawks have two other nonconference games scheduled, one against Florida Atlantic on Sept. 3. The other is an open date on Sept. 10.
Florida Atlantic will be playing its first year as a full Division-IA team as a new member of the Sun Belt Conference. While it has never been a member until now, Florida Atlantic played mostly Sun Belt teams this season. The Owls have accumulated an 8-3 record with one game left to play in the season.
Within that record, Florida Atlantic is 4-2 against the six IA and conditional IA schools it has played, with one remaining on its schedule.
Before beginning its transition to Division IA, Florida Atlantic was a Division IAA team. The school has sponsored a football team since 2001.
Unlike this season, Kansas will play all three of its nonconference games at home. This is partially to fill the void created by the Kansas-Oklahoma game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. It also should provide the team with a less difficult nonconference schedule and boost the chances of the team becoming bowl-eligible, though Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, emphasized that Kansas wasn't looking for
weak opponents.
The schools that we're playing all have the potential to be as good as a Northwestern or a Toledo. Marchionny said.
Mixed in with the Jayhawks' nonconference slate are the same teams they played in conference this season.
After playing Louisiana Tech at home, the team will have a bye week before going on the road to Texas Tech, K-State, Oklahoma at Arrowhead Stadium and Colorado. Six weeks will pass between Kansas' third and fourth home games.

The Jayhawks struggled to gain any consistency from the perimeter. In their first three games, they shot only 23 percent from beyond the three-point line. In last night's contest, they shot 39 percent.

"It was nice to know that for our shooters, the rim looked like an ocean tonight." Henrickson said following her team's 67-44 drubbing of the Denver Pioneers. "It's looked a lot smaller than that lately."
Henrickson said she was hopeful that the Jayhawks could build on last night's shooting spree and continue to hit shots.

"We shoot the ball too well in practice to have struggled like we have," Henrickson said
Ironically, Henrickson said, they shot the ball very poorly in practice on Monday. Junior guard Erica Hallman said it was about time her team's shots went in during a game.

BOULDER, Colo. — Nine months after he was suspended by his own school, Colorado coach Gary Barnett was named Associated Press Big 12 Coach of the Year yesterday after leading his troubled program to the conference title game.
It took four games, but the Kansas women's basketball team found its shooting touch. A team that has averaged a dismal 37 percent from the field this season, the Jayhawks seemed to make almost everything they threw at the basket. They hit a season high 51 percent of their shots, including a sizzling 64 percent in the first half.
The Buffalooes (7-4) took the Big 12 North title by winning their last three games and getting
After starting 3-0 in nonconference play, Colorado lost four of five to start the Big 12 season and looked absolutely lost in a 31-7 loss to Texas. But Colorado rallied for a comefrom-behind 30-21 victory at Kansas, a 38-31 victory over Kansas State and a 26-20 win at archrival Nebraska last week.
Colorado has posted a startling turnaround since the program was hit by a sex and recruiting scandal last spring.
a little help. They will play No. 2 Oklahoma on Saturday for the championship.
One of the reasons for the team's drastic increase in its shooting percentage was its ability to run an offense. After breaking down last Saturday's game versus UMKC, Henrickson and her staff noticed a troubling but telling statistic. When the Jayhawks ran an offensive set, they shot 60 percent from the field. When they did not run a specific play or set, they shot a terrible 14 percent.

The school suspended Barnett over comments he made related to the controversy. Athletics director Dick Tharp resigned and the school made sweeping changes to its football recruiting

Shot selection was also a key, Henrickson said. Several times, the Jayhawks made the extra pass and didn't force a bad shot.
from the field. Her 18 points led all players, and had she played more than five minutes in the second half, her numbers would have been even more impressive. Afterwards, even Kemp was pleasantly surprised with her effectiveness in the paint.
"I didn't go out there and expect to make almost every shot, but I'm glad I did," Kemp said

She shot seven-for-10 from the field.
"With the way we have been shooting in the last few games, we were due for a good game," Hallman said. "People got open looks and knocked them down."
"A good shot's not one that goes in, and a bad shot's not one that doesn't go in." Henrickson said. "A good shot is when no one on the floor has a better one. We took good shots tonight."
Junior forward Crystal Kemp continued her dominance near the basket, going nine-for-10
The coaches impressed with the Jayhawks' ability to be disciplined on the offensive end.
"We were much more disciplined offensively," Henrickson said. "We made the extra pass and we were able to knock down the shots."
But even after a shooting performance like last night's, at least one Jayhawk couldn't wait to get back to work on being better. After everyone had left, senior guard Blair Waltz went back to the court with her dad to work on her free throw shooting.
