Texas started off this series with three wins beginning January 9, 1982. They have won the last three games, leading the series 13-7. Those last three wins have been very close with the largest margin of victory 8 pts in 2009 as Texas won in Austin, 74-66. Texas comes into this game on a three game winning streak. Kansas broke a 5 game losing streak with their second win over Colorado this past Wednesday, 81-53. Texas will be looking to make it four straight wins to even their Big 12 record at 4-4 while Kansas will seek their second straight win to move to 3-6. In Big 12 standings, Horns (3-4) are tied for sixth while Kansas (2-6) is tied for tenth.

It’s really a shame that KU sports department does not bother to keep separate season and conference stats for the women like they do for the men. Stats noted below are taken from the Big 12 conference stats page and are incomplete as KU does not have some players listed in a few categories.
Jayhawks are led in scoring in conference games by Carolyn Davis (# 21, 6-3 Soph. F) at 14.1 ppg and Monica Engelman (# 13, 5-11 Soph. G) at 11.1 ppg. Engelman is also their top 3pt shooter, having made 11-27 3s (40.7%) in their 8 league games. Davis leads in rebounding (6.3 rpg) and blocks (1.4 bpg). Angel Goodrich (# 23, 5-4 Soph. G), healthy after missing most of the past two seasons with injuries, leads the team with 4.4 assists per game. Engelman is second with 3.3 apg.
Kansas is a very young team with only two seniors and one junior on an 11 player roster. Their starting lineup includes three sophs who have started all league games. Two freshmen and a senior have split the starts at the other spot. The junior had started the previous seven league games before coming off the bench in Wednesday’s game. The senior has started the last four conference games. Engelman, Davis, and Goodrich have started all eight conference games. Aishah Sutherland (# 1, 6-2 Jr. F) had started the first seven conference games before coming off the bench in the second Colorado game. Marisha Brown (# 22, 5-9 Sr. G), Keena Mays (# 5, 5-7 FR. G) and Diara Moore (# 20, 5-9 Fr. G) have split the other starts with Brown getting the last four and Mays stepping into the starting lineup in the Colorado game for Sutherland. Krysten Boogaard (# 14, 6-5 Sr. C) and Tania Jackson (# 33, 6-2 RS Fr. F) are the other two players that have played in all eight Big 12 games. CeCe Harper (# 42, 5-8 Fr. G) and Brooke Jelniker (# 11, 6-1 Fr. G) both played in the last game against Colorado but have played in only 4 and 2 games respectively. The first nine players named above are all averaging at least 11 minutes a game with Davis, Engelman and Goodrich all at 30+ mpg.
Horns are led by the duo of Chassidy (21.4 ppg) and Kat (12.0 ppg) in Big 12 play. They are the only Horns averaging double digit scoring. Ashleigh is just off the pace at 9.9 ppg. Three other Horns average at least 6.0 ppg: Yvonne (7.1 ppg), Ashley (6.6 ppg) and Kristen (6.0 ppg). Kat and Chassidy have taken 78 of the 124 3s attempted by Texas in league play. Combined, they have made 31 of the 42 3s Texas has made in Big 12 play. That’s 73.8 % of the made 3s on 62.9% of attempted shots. Chassidy (29-31, 93.5%), Kat (10-12, 83.3%) and Kristen (12-16, 75.0%) are the top FT shooters for the Horns. Kat leads the team in rebounding (8.6 rpg) while Ashleigh (5.9 rpg), Kristen (5.6 rpg), Chassidy (5.0 rpg) and Ashley (4.3 rpg) each add at least 4 rpg. While Ashleigh leads the team with 26 assists, Yvonne (16), Kat (14) and Chassidy (11) also have double digits assists in league play. Ashley has been far and away the best shotblocker on the team with 27 coming in Big 12 games. Kristen with seven blocks is second on the team. Texas has only Ashleigh with double digits steals with 11. Chassidy (9) and Yvonne (8) are poised to join her.Kat (36.7 mpg) leads a trio of Horns that average over 30 minutes per game. Ashleigh (33.4 mpg) and Chassidy (33.3 mpg) are the other two.
Kat (36.7 mpg) leads a trio of Horns that average over 30 minutes per game. Ashleigh (33.4 mpg) and Chassidy (33.3 mpg) are the other two. Yvonne, Ashley and Kristen all average over 20 minutes per game. Chelsea and Tiffany are the other Horns that average in double figure minutes. Those seven have played in all seven conference games to date. Anne Marie has seen action in five conference games while Sarah and Shanice have gotten into one Big 12 game.
Texas has had seven different players start while Kansas has had eight. The ones listed below are the ones that started the majority of the past few games for each team. Constants for Texas: Kat, Chassidy, and Ashleigh. For Kansas, those players are: Engleman, Davis and Goodrich.

Kansas will be looking to slow down, if not shut down, Chassidy and Kat. Ashley and Kristen have given Big 12 teams something to think about with their recent ability to score in the paint. They make it more difficult to crowd the Texas perimeter players while ignoring the posts. That in turn makes it easier for the wings and guards to get open shots. Look for Boogaard to come in and play at least 20 minutes as she has done the past two games.

The Jayhawks score almost 82% of their FGs inside the 3pt arc. They will challenge the Horn post players to make defensive plays. Their problems in hitting 3s could result in a lot of long rebounds that the Texas guards will need to track down. The Horns’ ability to run will test the Jayhawks’ fastbreak defense. If they can’t get back, Texas will feast on layups. That’s assuming that the Horns dominate the boards and get those fast breaks started. KU is last in the league in rebound margin with their opponents holding a 7 rebound edge.
