After finishing a disappointing seventh in a holiday tournament last weekend, the KU women's basketball team starts a rugged three-game swing through Oklahoma and Texas tonight when it faces Phillips University in Enid, Okla.
After the game with Phillips, the team will play Claremore Junior College, Clairemont, tomorrow and will play Dayton, Wayland and Baldest, College in Playaway. Tex.
Coach Marian Washington is looking
up to have a hard time said yesterday,
it will be a tough one for her next
week.
"If we win two out of the three games, I'll be pleased." Washington said.
Phillips is led by three-time All-American Karen Cannon, who filled the Patties to a 28-7 record last year. KU split its two games with Phillips last season.
Claremore, the Jayhawks' opponent tomorrow night, played in the same holiday tourney as KU—the Turkey Tournament at Michigan. They also played in Springfield, Mo.-and finished sixth.
Clarence is 1-8 on the year, and
the Jawbone ensues foe on the trip.
Wayland Bapisti's final opponent on the trip, is picked third by Sports Illustrated magazine in its presseason poll of collegiate women's teams. Wayland lost two starters from last year's team but is still a veteran team. Washington said.
in the tournament last weekened, the Jayhawks started slow but finished with a flourish to even their season record at 8.2. They also won by crumbling Grandview College, B1-45.
"I think the change provides both of them with a greater opportunity to use their strengths to full advantage," Washington said.
KU fell to Northwest Missouri State, 66-59, in the first round of the tourney, and dropped a 68-65 decision to the University of Missouri-St. Louis in the second round. The Jayhawks won the consolation finalating host Southwest Missouri State, 92-51.
Burnett and Adrian Mitchell paced the Jayhawks scoring for the three games, and Mitchell was selected to the all-tournament team.
The major turnaround in the final game, Washington said, was the result of a line-up change. She moved starting guard V. C. Carroll and forward Heward forward Carmelly Burnet to guard.
Washington said KU played a better
overall game in the consolation finale. She
didn't do well with the way the team turned
things around.
"The mistakes we've been making are things we can change," she said.
