coach Terry Pettit, who picked up his 600th coaching victory at Nebraska in the Nov. 16 victory against Kansas, had some advice for the Jayhawks.
"I think that you just come in every day as if you're undefeated," Pettit said. "Play as hard as you possibly can so that you lay a foundation for next year."
The Jayhawks recently had a conversation about building for the future and finishing the season strong.
"We were talking about pushing right now, so that we leave off at a good spot so that we can pick up there next year instead of starting all these things over again," Kansas sophomore outside hitter Moira Donovan said.
Kansas freshman defensive specialist Kristi Kiyabu said that the Jayhawks were improving as a team.
"Everyone is stepping up their game," Kiyabu said. "We're doing a good job in practice. I think we're going to start pulling it together."
The Jayhawks next match will be against No. 8 Texas at 8 tonight in Allen Field House. Texas is 20-4 overall, and 14-2 in the conference.

In other college football news, former Nebraska cornerback Tyrone Williams of the Green Bay Packers was sentenced to six months in jail for shooting into an occupied car while at Nebraska in 1994.
Bushed no tears for Tyrone. Getting sent to the pen must be like going to the alumni center for a former Nebraska football player.

CANONSBURG, Pa. — Darius Kasparaitis has agitated and irritated the Pittsburgh Penguins for years. Mario Lemieux hopes he's not ready to change.
With the Penguins' worst start in a decade, Lemieux said Kasparaira's intensity will toughen up the team
"You always have to be where he is at all times on the ice," Lemieux said. "You're never comfortable when he's on the ice, and hopefully, he's going to do the same job here."
General manager Craig Patrick didn't wait for the Penguins to end their slump, dealing center Bryan Smolinski to the Islanders for Kasparaitis and forward Andreas Johansson.

"Obviously, I'm glad I don't have to play against him anymore." Lemieux said. "He's an agitator and an Ulf Samuelsson of smaller stature. He's going to help us, he's very aggressive, and he plays very well defensively."
The trade was the first, but not the last, the Penguins expect to make to shake up a team whose 5-12-1 start makes even the playoffs an uncertainty.
"I think every time you're losing,
you look for trades and changes in your team, and I think that's what happening," Lemieux said. "I'm sure that's not the last trade that's going to occur in the next few weeks. But it's a good start, and we have a new ingredient, a guy that can come in and do the job for us on the blue line."
But Kasparatis doesn't put the puck in the net often. He has only six goals in 232 games. And the Penguins' biggest problem is an offense that is averaging nearly one less goal per game than a year ago.
The problem starts at the top. Lemieux, who won a fifth NHL scoring title last season, has only eight goals and 15 assists after 18 games, compared to 22 goals and 30 assists last season.
Lemieux already has said this would probably be his last season.
("The losing") is very frustrating to everybody, myself and the guys who have been here over the years and have been successful," Lemieux said. "When I started here in 1984, it was pretty ugly, and this is not too far off it. But we have a lot of talent and we have a little addition to our team."
Kasparaitis can't believe a team with so much talent will keep on losing.

It marked the second time the project has been announced. Plans for the stadium appeared to have fallen apart a few months ago when Tanner's investors couldn't find the money to buy the property.
If built, the stadium would be the biggest in the world and would play host to sporting events, conventions and other events, seating from 28,000 to 110,000.
Dome deal covered in Las Vegas
New player brings hope to Penguins
Las Vegas Mayor Jan Jones joined project promoter Paul Tanner at a press conference yesterday announcing that Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. put up $50 million for the land purchase in exchange for a 50 percent interest in the project.
LAS VEGAS — Backers of a planned $750 million domed stadium complex that would seat 110,000 people say they have closed a deal to buy 61.5 acres of downtown Las Vegas land for the project.
"We're going forward with a domed stadium that will be the largest domed stadium ever built," Tanner said. "More than that, it will be the most flexible."
