Huge runs push Bears past stout Jayhawks

With 17:31 left in the first half, the Kansas women's basketball team took its first lead of the game, 7-5, on a layup by sophomore guard Angel Goodrich. It turned out to be its only lead of the game, as Baylor then went on a 12-0 run and never looked back.
The run was followed by another one of 14-0 later in the half that gave the Bears a 24-point lead heading into the half. The Jayhawks struggled, committing nine turnovers in the first half, which the Bears turned into 13 points.
"We talked about going in your best defense may be your offense, not turning the ball over and giving them high percentage shots," coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
The Bears were ignited in the first half of their 86-51 victory by the play of senior guard Melissa Jones. Jones was everywhere on the court, with nine rebounds, eight points, and six assists in the first half. Jones wore shaded glasses to protect her eyes, she damaged her right eye in a Feb. 27 game against Oklahoma and is just now beginning to see light out of it.
"She hits the first three of the game, she gets rebounds, that's the story of the game," Baylor coach Kim Mulkey said. "She can't see. She's gone from completely black seven days later to fuzzy black."
fuzzy back
Baylor outrebounded the Jayhawks 28-10 in the first half, and 13 of those boards came from the offensive glass. The Bears turned those offensive rebounds into 18 points in the first half.
The Jayhawks held Big 12 player of the year Brittney Griner to just eight points in the first half, but she limited the Jayhawks leading scorer, sophomore forward Carolyn Davis, to two points and no rebounds in the first half. Griner made her presence felt in other aspects of the game by
grabbing six boards in the first half and finishing with 19 points.
"The longer you watch her and you have that opportunity to play against her, just how much she impacts the game on a defensive end, especially for a team that scores and spends a lot of time throwing the ball inside, 52-18 in points in the paint." Henrickson said. "She changes that because
there's not much room to score, and the lane is awful crowded."
The Jayhawks also struggled with clock management. With 3:36 left in the first half sophomore guard Monica Engelman had a three-point shot called back because of a shot clock violation
"We wanted to slow it down," Goodrich said. "Just so we weren't rushing or anything. Then we
kind of waited too long and needed to adjust the offense and try to get the defense and hammered into a screen. So once we got that we were free. We had to try and to find the open man. I think we kind of panicked after it started getting low."

Game to Forget
Freshman guard Keena Mays played 25 minutes, but failed to convert in eight shot attempts. She added one rebound and one assist, but the team needed a stronger performance from the guard with trouble down low caused by the Baylor forwards.
