12 WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Jayhawks lose twice at Junkanoo Jam
Tournament opponents capitalize on Kansas' mistakes
By Max Rothman mrothman@kansan.com
Game 1: Kansas vs. Xavier
The Game plan: If Kansas was to have had any shot in this one, it would have needed to establish a low-post presence early on to combat Xavier's star juniors, center Ta'Shia Phillips and forward Amber Harris. This responsibility lay primarily on the shoulders of junior forward Nicollette Smith, sophomore forward Aishah Sutherland and junior center Krysten Boogaard.
The Blunder: Boogaard picked up two early fouls, sending herself to the bench when her team needed her most. This meant that despite excellent offense—senior guard Danielle McCray scored 23 points and Sutherland and Smith weren't shabby either—Kansas was left with no defensive response for Phillips and Harris. Tallying only 10 minutes the entire game, Boogaard observed a demolition from the sideline instead of playing during her supposed big day.
Final Score: Xavier 76, Kansas 71
Game 2: Kansas vs. TCU
The Game plan: The Jayhawks were just looking to play their game. Kansas' standard offensive game plan relies on finding freshman point guard Angel Goodrich right off the rebound. Once she has the ball, Goodrich pushes the ball quickly up court alongside her teammates, initiating a mad sprint towards the other side. This transition style has wreaked havoc before and would have needed to do the same in the game against TCU by providing open shots for Kansas.
The Blunder: With 13.8 seconds left and a one-point Kansas lead, senior guard Danielle McCray pulled a Chris Webber, calling a timeout that she didn't have. The mistake led to a technical foul and two key free throws that gave the Horned Frogs a lead that they would never relinquish. (Dishonorable Mention: Despite scoring 21 points, Boogaard shot 5/14 from the free throw line).
Final Score: TCU 74, Kansas 69
Left: The Kansas bench cheers in unison after a Jayhawk basket on Nov. 22 at Allen Fieldhouse. The Jay hawks beat an undefeated Michigan team 77-66.
