6A SPORTS / FRIDAY, MARCH 5, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM WOMEN'S (CONTINUED FROM 10A) Henrickson said after the Nebraska loss. "How do you get to the free throw line? You go in transition, you offensive board and you drive it. They do those three things really well." Against the Cornhuskers, the Jayhawks relinquished 44 points in the paint, but even those were usually contested. As for the free throws, by rule, no player stands in your way between the hoop and a line 15 feet away. They call it the charity strike for a reason. To allow 30 attempts, regardless of how many are converted. equates to sloppy, careless defense. Nebraska sunk 24 of them and Kansas lost the game by 25 points. The Jayhawks, on the other hand, only attempted nine free throws. more than the entire Kansas team. "How do you get to the free throw line? You go in transition,you offensive board and you drive it. They do those three things really well." "Our defense creates our offense," Griffin said. "That attacking mentality has created the ability for us to get to the line." After losing six of its past seven games, including two consecutive beat-downs by an average of 24 points, Kansas' NCAA tournament chances seem slim. The Jayhawks are 5-10 in the conference and 15-13 overall, and seem to hold the resume of a WNIT team rather than a potential tournament at-large seed. Nebraska senior Kelsey Griffin and junior Dominique Kelley led their team in scoring, with 18 and 16 points respectively. The duo also combined to shoot 10 free throws, one BONNIE HENRICKSON Kansas Coach Unless t h a w e jayhawks can catch fire in the Big 12 tour nament or make a commanding statement against the Aggies, a postseason reflecting underachievement awaits At the beginning of the season, Kansas was ranked second in the conference's preseason poll. It featured an offensive juggernaut with McCray and freshman guard Angel Goodrich. The Jayhawks jumped out to a 12-2 start and seemed poised for an NCAA tournament run. To read more about Kansas game against Texas A&M on Saturday, check out Kansan.com Since that time, both McCray and Goodrich were lost to season-ending ACL injuries and Kansas has gone 3-11, likely losing its shot at the tournament. Wednesday's loss against Nebraska was the affirmation: the 2009-2010 season, for the most part, was a disappointment. "I'd be hard for Danielle to sit and watch that," Henrickson said after the game of the injured McCray. "I thought it kind of bothered her tonight. She hasn't really had that look on her face and she looked sad tonight, I don't know if she got caught up in their senior night and recognized that hers is coming and she's going to sit and watch that one too." — Edited by Cory Bunting McCray's senior season ended prematurely with a torn ACL in her left knee, but her legacy was never tarnished. She will walk away from her collegiate career as one of the greatest to ever don the crimson and blue. Guard Danielle McCray While there is much to it, the proof can be found in the numbers alone. She ranks in the top 10 in school history in 10 different categories. In 116 games, she scored 1,934 points (4th all-time in school history). The second team preseason All-American and preseason Big 12 player of the year averaged 19.8 points and 7.2 rebounds per game this season. In her junior year, she led the Jayhawks to the WNIT championship game. Guard Sade Morris Kansas will honor five seniors at Saturday's 7 p.m. game against Texas A&M After graduation and healing her knee, McCray will look to move her game to the professional level in the WNBA. When Morris walks out of Allen Fieldhouse for the last time following Saturday's game against Texas A&M, she will leave behind the place where she accomplished many of the major milestones in her career. In a Nov. 22 victory against Michigan, Morris lit up the scoreboard for a career-high 26 points. The point total that day gave her the final boost she needed to surpass the 1,000-point mark in her career. In addition, Morris has earned career highs in rebounds (8), field goals (12), free throws (9) and assists (7) on James Nismith Court. Morris continually guards the opposing team's best player, scores reliably and occasionally has taken on the role of point guard during this season. Morris also played a key role in the Jayhawks' run to the WNIT championship game last year as she averaged 17 points per game. Three of Morris's best games during that stretch occurred in the Fieldhouse. Guard LaChelda Jacobs: Until Wednesday's 77-52 loss at Nebraska, Jacobs was the replacement starting point guard for injured freshman guard Angel Goodrich. However most of her minutes at Kansas have come off the bench. She has tallied a career high 18 points three times, twice in her freshman year and once in her junior year. At the moment, Jacobs is fighting to regain her starting position, which was recently usurped by junior guard Rhea Codio. Guard Kelly Kohn During her freshman year, Kohn was one of only two Jayhawks to start all 31 games. Not surprisingly that was her best statistical year at Kansas as she averaged 9.8 points per game, good enough for fourth place among Big 12 rookies that year. In her years as an upperclassman, Kohn adjusted from the role of a starter to the part of a player providing a spark off the bench. That didn't hinder her will to help the Jayhawks win, though, as she has made the transition quite well. Forward Porscha Weddington: Playing sporadically for most of her career, Weddington was best known for her rebounding skills. She pulled in a career high 12 boards in her freshman year in a 59-55 loss at Kansas State on Jan. 24, 2007. She started the first 11 games of the 2007-08 season.
