committee's decisions concerning the top seeds.
The Jayhawks (24-5) swept Colorado (21-8) during the regular season while winning the Big 12 Conference regular-season title with a 14-2 record. The Buffaloes won the Big 12 Tournament this past weekend.
"They weren't even ranked," Halbleib said of Colorado. "I guess they had their reasoning. Whatever it is, I don't know. I thought we deserved the No. 2 seed, but you won't hear me complain about it after today because we have games to play."
Kansas center Nakia Sanford said that she was speechless when she saw the seedings.
"I assumed that we'd be a No. 2 seed when I saw that Colorado was two," Sanford said. "We were ranked, and they weren't. We won the conference and swept them this

about the seeding committee. I feel that we worked hard to have a high seed, so we'll do the very best we can with that."
While Kansas has been ranked in the Top 20 all season, the Buffaloes have not been in the Top 25 since mid-December. They will enter the tournament having won five consecutive games.
The Jayhawks defeated Colorado 61-58 on Jan. 25 at Allen Field House and won 72-60 on Feb. 15 in Boulder, Colo.
Kansas guard Angie Hablelbleid said that she questioned some of the
season. The way I see it, they got the spot that we would have wanted."
Seedings aside, Washington said that she had no problems with her team's draw for the tournament.
"It's all right because we're in it, and we're going to do our best," Washingon said. "We have to take on two opponents here at home, and hopefully we'll make the Sweet Sixteen again. If we get that far, I feel we matchup pretty well with Georgia."
The Jayhawks will play host to No. 14-seeded
Detroit-Mercy on Saturday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The other first-round game will feature No. 6-seeded Vanderbilt against No. 11-seeded Washington.
Kansas defeated Washington 76-61 on Dec. 8 at Allen Field House, but it has not played against Vanderbilt or Detroit-Mercy this season.
"We don't know a thing about Detroit-Mercy," said Washington, "but we're going to find out a lot more about them by tomorrow though."
