WOMEN'S BASKETBALL: Kansas at Baylor, 3 p.m., Saturday, Ferrell Center
Kansas
Player to watch:
Freshman guard/forward Sophronia Sallard played significant minutes in Manhattan Wednesday. She allows the team to use a different look with four guards playing at one time. With that line up, senior forward Crystal Kemp has the opportunity to play in the paint.
Key to victory:
Kansas will have to find a way to keep Baylor under 70 points, which has only been done five times this season.
“They’re just athletic on the perimeter, and we’ve got to be able to match that,” Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
Season in review:
The Jayhawks have struggled to find a winning combination of players in Big 12 Conference play, with Kemp being the only player who has consistently played well. Look for Henrickson to use multiple substitutions early to determine who has the hot hand.
Previous game:
Kansas lost to Kansas State 69-63 in Manhattan Wednesday night. The Jayhawks struggled to play defense in the paint, allowing the Wildcats to mount a 16-4 run over a seven-minute stretch.
“It’s hard to win in this league and we can’t have lapses like that,” Henrickson said.
Baylor
Player to Watch:
Baylor senior forward Sophia Young is second in the Big 12 Conference in scoring, averaging 20.8 points a game. Young is a National Player of the Year candidate and one of only three conference players averaging a double-double in scoring and rebounding.
Key to Victory:
Baylor cannot look ahead to next Monday’s game in Baton Rouge, La., when it will play No. 4 Louisiana State. Kansas will be hungry for its first conference road win.
Season in Review:
The defending national champions have already lost as many games as they lost all of last season. Missouri ended Baylor’s 30-game winning streak earlier this year in Columbia, Mo. The Bears are currently fifth in the conference and have dropped two of their last four games,
Previous Meeting:
Baylor defeated Kansas by 10 on senior night in Lawrence last season. The game marked Baylor’s sixth victory in a row against Kansas.
