Turnovers costly in loss to Aggies

Wednesday, March 10, 2010

Texas A&M defeated Kansas 78-54 on senior night at Allen Fieldhouse because of the home team’s same old ills. The Jayhawks’ surrendered a season-high 30 turnovers.

“We didn’t screen worth a darn,” coach Bonnie Henrickson said. “We didn’t get separation, they made us turn it over and we didn’t recover.”

By conceding so many turnovers, the Aggies were able to attempt 64 shots to the Jayhawks’ 42. Despite Kansas converting a higher percentage of its shots than Texas A&M (45.2% to 43.8%), the lopsided difference in attempts deemed the statistic irrelevant.

The loss left a disappointing stamp on the end of the senior’s careers: guards Danielle McCray, Sade Morris, LaChelda Jacobs and Kelly Kohn and forward Porscha Weddington.

To make matters worse Saturday, freshman forward Carolyn Davis sat on the sideline the whole game because of a concussion she suffered in Friday’s practice.

With Saturday’s loss, Kansas fell to 5-11 in the Big 12, 15-14 overall and seemingly destined for a WNIT appearance. The Jayhawks have lost their past three games by an average of 24 points as they head into the conference tournament as the likely No. 10 seed.

“For that senior class, it just should have been different this year,” Henrickson said. “It just should have been different.”
