Kansas to take on Washburn Jayhawks struggle to maintain their defensive intensity
Playing a complete game tops the list of KU women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson's goals for Sunday's 2 p. m. exhibition game against the Washburn Lady Blues.
"We've got to work on sustaining two halves," she said. "Most of these players for their high school teams didn't play four quarters; they'd play three quarters and sit out the fourth quarter."
The Jayhawks sped out to a 46-18 lead at the end of the first half Wednesday. In the abysmal second half, the team gave up 37 points to an 80-55 exhibition victory over Fort Hays State.
Senior guard Shaquina Mosley diagnosed the problem in the Jayhawk's second-half performance.
"We didn't carry our defensive intensity into the second half," Mosley said. "We aren't going to get off to such a big lead in every game, so we need to be ready to work hard
every possession, every play."
The Lady Blues should require the Jayhawks to show their hard work on every possession Sunday. Washburn is returning four of five starters. Among that group is a pair of senior forwards, Megan Sullivan and Brooke Ubelaker, two of the team's three leading scorers last season.
Sullivan and Ubelaker's size and scoring ability should test a Jayhawk frontcourt that struggled to grab defensive rebounds in the second half of Wednesday's game.
The Jayhawks' starting lineup on Sunday will be a game-time decision like Wednesday's exhibition game, but don't expect too much alteration.
"I wouldn't make drastic changes before Sunday," Henrickson said.
Thanks in part to the excellent recruiting class of seven freshmen, the Jayhawks are a deep basketball team. On Sunday, 10 players were in the game for at least 10 minutes.
Junior forward Jamie Boyd started the game against Fort Hays State. After getting into foul trouble with only one rebound and no points, however, forwards Marija Zinic, Danielle McCray, and Porscha Weddington wound up with more playing time than Boyd.
Danielle McCray and guard Sade Morris will probably see the most minutes from the Jayhawks large freshman class. McCray proved to be one of the best shooters on the team, with 13 points that included a beautiful three-point shot from well behind the line. Sade Morris had 14 points in Wednesday's contest and wants her team to improve on Sunday.
"I hope we can play a whole game, not just a 20-minute half" she said.

VOLLEYBALL
Kansas has'nothing to lose'
'Hawks (3-11) to face tough match against Iowa State (8-5)
BY DREW DAVISON
The Kansas volleyball team will be meeting parallels when they try to upset Iowa State on Saturday in Ames, Iowa. Kansas has lost its last four games; Iowa has won the last four. At the Ames game last season, the Cyclones won, putting the Jayhawks at eighth and bringing themselves to seventh. Neither are ranked in the Top 25 Coaches Poll.
First serve is set for 6:30 p.m. at Hilton Coliseum.
7, 8-5) earlier this season at home.
The Jayhawks (10-13, 3-11 Big
12) were swiped by the Cyclones (16-
Kansas has yet to win a conference road game this season. Iowa State has won its last four contests, including an upset victory at No. 21 Missouri on Wednesday.
Kansas was swept by No. 8 Texas on Wednesday. The Longhorns outblocked the Jayhawks 9 to 2.
Iowa State has the top-ranked blocker in the Big 12 with Erin Boeve, junior middle blocker, averaging 1.68 per game.
It doesn't seem likely KU will be in the mix for an NCAA tournament bid this year, but Martincich will most likely reach 1,000 assists this season on Saturday. She needs just six assists to reach the milestone.
"She works with as much passion as anybody." Kansas coach Ray
Bechard said. "She is always trying to improve and she has the willingness to improve more than anybody."
With postseason aspirations dwindling, Bechard challenged his team after the Texas loss.
"I told them to identify and isolate some areas where they could improve and help the team," he said.
Kansas will be home next as they face Colorado (13-8, 9-5) on Nov. 8. Colorado won a five-game match earlier this season in Boulder, Colo.

REESING (CONTINUED FROM 11A)
Reeing is only 5-foot-11, or as he describes himself "5-foot-10 and some change."
In 2005, Reesing was the Central Texas Player of the Year. In his senior season alone, he threw for 3,340 yards, completing more than 72 percent of his passes and 41 touchdowns and just five interceptions. As if that wasn't enough, Reesing also rushed for 750 yards and eight touchdowns. The stats were certainly impressive, but there was one drawback.
And that's why major programs were reluctant to offer Reesing a scholarship.
Among the few schools that did offer Reesing a chance were Kansas State and Kansas. After a visit in Manhattan with former Wildcats coach Bill Snyder in April 2004, Reesing made the short trip here to Lawrence.
"I was blown away," Reesing said. So was Mangino. He offered Reesing a scholarship on the spot. Just like that, the kid who was shunned by larger schools was going
to get his shot.
He graduated from Lake Travis High School in Austin a semester early to be on campus in time for spring practice. Once he got to Lawrence, Reeing used the same smarts that helped him in calculus to learn Kansas' offense. While it was more complicated than the offense he ran at Lake Travis, Reeing picked it up quickly.
There was Reesing on the field barking out plays at the line of scrimmage like a wily old veteran. The thing that made Reesing stand out against Colorado, though, was his ability to scramble out of the pocket and make plays out of nothing.
That was obvious on Saturday.
"Everybody said you can't do the same things you did in high school," Reeing said. "You can't get away with as much because the guys are a lot more athletic and fast. But pulling off that 60-yard run kind of shocked me. I never thought I was going to outrun anybody."
He did Saturday, and led the
team in rushing with 90 yards on the ground, including that 63-yard scamper. But despite his performance against Colorado, Reesing realizes that his time in the spotlight might be limited. When Meier gets healthy, its presumed that he'll regain his starting spot, though Mangino has refused to discuss his quarterback situation. For right now, Reesing's enjoying himself.
"He has a long way to go and he knows it," Mangino said. "But he's just a happy guy. If you're around him, he'll make you happy."

It's easy to see why.

Iowa State short on starters Jayhawks to face hobbling Cyclones in Ames on Saturday
Blythe is second on the team with 30 catches and first on the team with 436 receiving yards. He's the only Cyclone receiver who has caught multiple touchdowns, with seven.
BIG 12 FOOTBALL
On defense, Iowa State's pass defense isn't much better than Kansas', allowing only 43 fewer yards per game. Without Jackson, the Cyclones will be even more vulnerable. However, Iowa State could have enough bodies in its front seven to contain Kansas senior running back Jon Cornish.
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Although IowaState hasn't played like the Big 12 North contender it was supposed to be; Kansas coach Mark Mangino is familiar with the hardships teams can go through during a season and understands why the Cyclones have struggled.
Iowa State reached its low point of the season last week when, already riddled with injuries, it lost yet another key player and lost 31-10 to a Kansas State team they would have been heavily favored to defeat a couple months ago.
Iowa State could be the remedy Kansas — and its seven-game road losing streak — is looking for.
"They've had some setbacks in personnel, so those things all need to be taken into consideration," Mangino said.
Despite returning 11 starters on offense from last year's team and all-Big 12 selections on both sides of the ball, this season has been a nightmare for the Cyclones, who are 3-6 and winless in conference play.
"It's not easy, but it's a team game and we all have 85 scholarships available and you just have to be good enough to overcome those," McCarney said. "We were not."
Iowa State coach Dan McCarney could throw a pity party for himself, but he isn't.
The Cyclone offense will now rest on the shoulders of all-conference quarterback Bret Meyer. He's thrown for 2,023 yards with an average of nearly 225 yards per game. And with Hicks out, he is Iowa State's leading rusher with 180 yards and six touchdowns. The problem for Meyer this season is that he's made as many big plays with his arm as he has mistakes, with 10 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
On offense, the Cyclones will also be without guard Tom Schmeling and running back Stevie Hicks. On defense, all-conference cornerback DeAndre Jackson and linebacker Adam Carper are done for the season with torn ACLs.
Even with so many holes to fill, Iowa State still has enough players left to make Kansas earn its first road victory since 2004.
Starting wide receiver Jon Davis left midway through the Kansas State game with a collapsed lung, and won't play against Kansas on Saturday. Davis only adds to Iowa
State's list of banged-up players.
Although Davis won't be in action, Meyer should have his favorite receiving target back. Wide receiver Todd Blythe missed last week's game because of a viral illness, but is expected to be back in the starting lineup on Saturday.
