Guards. Kansas is still looking for depth at guard. Senior Jennifer Jackson leads the way, but needs a supporting cast to step up. Oklahoma guards Stacy Dales and LaNeishea Caufield bring a lot of offense, including more than 16 points per game each. Advantage: Oklahoma
Forwards: Oklahoma starts one true forward in Cain Hill, who grabs 8.8 rebounds per game and adds 12.3 points. She will go basically head-to-head with Kansas' Brooke Reves, who has a couple years of experience on Hill. Advantage: Kansas

Sooners riding four-game win streak
Jayhawks must excel to stop potent offense
By Brandon Stinnett sports@kanson.com Kansan sportswriter
The Sooners' high-powered offense has been at full throttle during a four-game winning streak, and the Jayhawks know full well it's hard to stop a train.
The Kansas women's basketball team will meet with a locomotive at 7:05 tonight when it faces No. 12 Oklahoma at Allen Fieldhouse.
"Oklahoma has a potent offense," said Kansas guard Jennifer Jackson. "To say that we can go out there and hold them under 50 points might be a little unrealistic."
Instead, Kansas (7-9 overall)
and 1-4 in the Big 12 Conference) will focus on containing Oklahoma (13-4 and 4-1) by using strong defense to prevent the Sooners from getting untested shots.
But the Jayhawks can't afford to repeat lethargic defensive performances from their last two outings, losses at Oklahoma State and Colorado. But Jackson said that shouldn't be a problem because recent defensive shortcomings were not a usual trademark of Kansas basketball.
"Defense is something that's been the bread and butter of this basketball team for as long as I've been here," she said.
Judging by Oklahoma's latest offensive performance, Kansas is in for a real challenge. The Sooners steamrolled past North Carolina on Sunday, 94-77, shooting 50 percent from the field. Oklahoma also leads the Big 12 in scoring at 83.9 points per game.
"One of the things people asked about this team earlier in the year was 'can they shoot?' Well, yes, we can shoot," said Oklahoma coach Sherri Coale. "We just haven't always taken good shots."
Oklahoma's recent offensive production has gained attention from around the Big 12.
Junior guard Stacey Dales was named Big 12 Player of the Week for her performance in games played Jan. 8 to 14. Dales led the Sooners to victories against No. 17 Texas and Baylor, averaging 20.5 points, eight assists and four rebounds
women's
in the two games.
And junior guard Rosalind Ross was named Big 12 Rookie of the Week for games played Jan. 15 to 21. Ross, a junior-college transfer, scored a career-high 19 points off the bench against North Carolina, connecting on five three-pointers.
Jackson said records and statistics wouldn't mean a thing once the Jayhawks and Sooners took the court. But this is an important game for Kansas, which needs a victory to break out of its current funk. The 'Hawks have dropped six of their last seven games.
"I think at this point in the season every game is big," Jackson said. "We have to approach every game like it's must-win."
