KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWINTER
COLUMBIA, Mo.- Kansas got a visit from an uninvited old friend Saturday afternoon — a ticking shot clock.
"You would have thought our offense was called six, five, four, three, two, one," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "That's what it was called last season."
Kansas ended several offensive possessions with the coaching staff shouting out the time remaining as the shot clock wound down. After one of the better offensive halves of conference play, the Jayhawks settled for tough, guarded shots late in the shot clock.
The lack of aggressive offense by Kansas plagued the team, especially during Missouri's 10-to-zero run late in the second half. During the 'Tigers' run, which took just two minutes, the Jayhawks had five straight turnovers.
Kansas played aggressively early in the game, driving to the basket and getting fouled on several possessions in the first half. Senior guard Kaylee Brown and freshman
guard Ivana Catic both went to the free-throw line late in the first half, after driving to the basket and being fouled. The Jayhawks got numerous open three-point shots in the first half and shot 57.1 percent from behind the arc.
That aggressive play seemed to disappear in the second half.
The once fast-paced offense moved at a snail-like pace. Kansas went scoreless several times for four or more minutes at a time. The team got caught watching the ball on several possessions as well.
Senior forward Crystal Kemp said the team wasn't as aggressive as it should have been.
"We just settled for things we didn't need to settle for," Kemp said.
The shots the Jayhawks settled for were forced and had little chance of going in. In the first half, Kansas guards were able to slash through the lane for lay-ups or drew fools. Kansas settled for long, guarded jump shots in the second half instead of driving to the basket.
