Jayhawks wait for bid
The Jayhawks will likely be chosen to make the WNIT, but Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson still took the time after the Kansas State loss to make the case for her team.
"It's a team that plays in an awfully good league, and we handled our games in the nonconference," she said.
DALLAS - After a 72-52 loss to Kansas State Tuesday, the Kansas women's basketball team will have a week to wait before finding out its postseason fate.

"I definitely would like to play on," senior guard Erica Hallman said. "We haven't made the post-season since I've been here."
Also helping the Jayhawks is that the WNIT will expand this year to include 40 teams, instead of the 32 that it has accepted in previous years.
Kansas' three seniors have not made the postseason during their four years at Kansas, and they look forward to the opportunity to continue their season, even if it is in the WNIT.
Despite the 4-12 conference record, the team has met the only requirement to play in the WNIT, having an overall record with more victories than losses.
Play at The Granada
It also helps that Kansas has consistently drawn big crowds to Allen Fieldhouse, compared to several of the teams liable to make the tournament, and hasn't participated in the postseason since 2000.
It has been an up-and-down year for Kansas, including a big victory against Texas in Allen Fieldhouse and an inability to win a road game until the final weeks of the season, when it beat Iowa State 57-56 in overtime.
"I think they are definitely getting strong consideration right now." Renee Carlson, assistant director of the WNIT, told The University Daily Kansan in February.
Kansas also notched a big victory against Missouri in the Border Showdown, a game that will look good on the team's WNIT resume.
of the season.
Henrickson sounded confident on Tuesday night that the team would be selected, but until next Monday night she will have to do the only thing she can: wait.
As of March 5, the team's RPI was the 100th best in the country, and 104 teams will be selected into the postseason between the two tournaments.

An unfortunate sedan falls victim to a foul ball during the Jayhawks' game against Baker Wednesday. Car damage is often a hazard for cars parked around Hogland Ballpark, due to the close proximity to the field. The Jayhawks won against Baker 10-1.
