The last time Kansas pulled out a victory, it was in a thrilling fashion at home against Nebraska on Feb. 17. If the Jayhawks want to get a win in the Big 12 Tournament they'll have to play even better than they did in that game. In Kansas' loss in Lincoln, Neb., hit 30-of-32 free throws. Then in Lawrence the Cornhuskers were just 17-for-34. Nebraska won't shoot that bad from the free-throw line, so Kansas must keep them from getting there in order to have a chance.

every reason to step her game up even more. She will be looking to lead her team to a deep run in the Big 12 Tournament. If both Page and Griffin are on their offensive games, Kansas could be in for serious foul trouble.

AT A GLANCE
Coach Connie Yori's team has all but sewn up a spot in the NCAA Tournament win or lose against the Jayhawks. Though Kansas last win came against Nebraska, it hasn't won since and the Huskers will be keen to avenge that loss. It's all about battling for seeding now for Yori and the Cornhuskers, and the Jayhawks could be their first victim.
