The three-point shot became part of NCAA basketball nationwide in 1986. Without it, the Kansas women's basketball team would not have been able to defeat Iowa State University in overtime Wednesday night at Allen Fieldhouse, 86-85.
The Jayhawks shot 50 percent from beyond the arc for the game and shot 4-for-8 in each half. The Jayhawks found open shots frequently this game because Iowa State played a 2-3 zone defense with the hope of slowing down sophomore guard Carolyn Davis.
"I think (Iowa State focusing on Davis) was one of the reasons. That's our game to go inside, but once they start packing it in, then we kick it out and then we can get an open shot on the outside," said sophomore point guard Angel Goodrich.
In the first half, freshman guard Keena Mays knocked down two big three-point shots that gave the Jayhawks a boost to their step. The first shot tied up the game at 13 with 12:40 left in the half. The second shot came with 7:33 to play in the half and gave the Jayhawks a two-point lead.
"We always talk about getting it inside because that will open up the outside because they can't just guard me. And if the guards are hitting shots they can't guard us both. That is always our goal because we know we have a strong inside and a strong outside," Davis said.
Goodrich made a three-point shot with 5:37 left in the half. In addition to shooting 3-for-4 from beyond the arc, Goodrich set a record for most assists by a woman in Allen Fieldhouse.
"There was a lot open in the 2-3 zone. They closed in more sometimes. They weren't rotating as quick as we thought they would. That helped us out. Finding the open guy and reversing it really helped us out in getting open shots," Goodrich said.
shots in. I think we were mentally focused and prepared for situations like that. We really zoned in, whether it was practice, shoot around or whatever it was and got
with 6:58 to play.
"I think we got ourselves prepared mentally for that. We came in early before practice and a couple of us stayed after and got some
shots up. We really all collectively came in and knew what we had to do," Engelman said.
