Kansas, Nebraska look for conference win tonight
By Brandon Stinnett

Nebraska comes to Allen Fieldhouse in dire need of a road win tonight against Kansas. The Cornhuskers are 0-4 on the road in the Big 12 Conference and have lost five straight games.
Nebraska's Achilles' Heel is its offense. The Cornhuskers (9-11, 1-6) rank 11th in the league in scoring, averaging 66.6 points, and are eighth in field goal percentage at 43.5.
Nebraska's only conference victory this season came on Jan. 10 at home against Kansas State, the same team Kansas beat on Saturday, 65-62.
Nebraska coach Paul Sanderford said his team's primary problem was with turnovers. The Cornhuskers rank last in the Big
12 in turnover margin at -4.30 and last in assist-to-turnover ratio at .55.
"We've had a tough time this season," Sanderford said. "I'd say turnovers have been a big part of it."
Sanderford is the first to admit his team is struggling, but the Cornhuskers won't bring a sour attitude with them tonight.
"I feel like we can win any game that we go into," he said.
A win against the Jayhawks (6-10, 2-5) would be just what the Cornhuskers need heading into three-consecutive home games against ranked teams. Nebraska plays No. 8 Iowa State on Sunday before facing No. 10 Oklahoma and No. 23 Colorado next week.
But getting past the Jayhawks won't be easy. Kansas is riding high after snapping a three-game losing skid against K-State, and
Sanderford said Nebraska might have problems matching up with Kansas' experienced seniors Jennifer Jackson, Jaclyn Johnson and Brooke Reves.
"I have a lot of respect for KU," Sanderford said. "They have three seniors who are very good."
While Nebraska also starts three seniors, the Cornhuskers returned just one starter from last season and are composed of 12 freshmen and sophomores.
Their top newcomer, freshman guard K.C. Cowgill, has missed the past 12 games with a stress fracture in her left foot. In eight games this season, Cowgill is second on the team in scoring, averaging 10.1 points. Her injury has affected the team's offensive production.
"She's a freshman, but she's by far the best shooter on this basketball team," Sanderford said.
Cowgill's foot is nearly healed and she has been practicing in limited capacity this week, but she will not be available for tonight's game. Sanderford said he hoped to have Cowgill back in the lineup against Iowa State on Sunday.
Kansas coach Marian Washington said the Jayhawks needed to capitalize on their performance against the Wildcats. Kansas got production from players other than the three seniors against K-State. Junior guard Selena Scott scored 11 points on 4-of-6 shooting and junior guard KC Hilgenkamp added nine points and was 4-of-8 from the field.
"Every win that we can get is real important," Washington said. "If we can keep getting more players stepping up with more confidence, it will really help us."
