Rarely does Kansas University’s women’s basketball team appear on live television.
Today is one of the days.
The Jayhawks will tangle with Weber State of the Big Sky Conference at 1:07 p.m. in Allen Fieldhouse with the live telecast on the Jayhawk Network (channels 13 and 38).
Later this season two of KU’s Big 12 Conference games against Missouri and Oklahoma will be on live TV and three other games will be telecast on a delayed basis on Sunflower Cablevision. So today’s game is the first of only six KU women’s games slated for the tube.
Coach Marian Washington also hopes it’s the first game of a long winning streak. The Jayhawks will be trying to bounce back from successive losses to Oregon and Arizona State defeats that have sunk their record under .500 (3-5).
Weber State (3-4) has been struggling, too. The Wildcats from Ogden, Utah, have dropped three straight, including an 89-63 pounding at Nebraska on Thursday night.
Kansas has had a dickens of a time scoring. The Jayhawks are shooting just 43.4 percent from the floor and 57.9 percent from the free-throw line. In addition, KU has been woeful from beyond the three-point line, making just 22.1 percent (15 of 68).
KC Hilgenkamp and Selena Scott, senior co-captains, rank 1-2 in scoring at 13.0 and 12.6 points per game respectively. But Hilgenkamp has made only six of 28 threes and Scott six of 23.
Nevertheless, Washington has given the two seniors the green light.
“You have to believe in them,” Washington said, “and they have to believe in themselves.”
Hilgenkamp, Scott and freshman Chelsey Thompson (4.3 ppg) are the only Jayhawks who have started all eight games. Blair Waltz, another freshman, is the first player off the bench. Waltz scored 13 points against both Oregon and Arizona State in a reserve role.
After today, the Jayhawks will be idle until Thursday when they will play host to Wichita State. KU hasn’t met the Shockers since 1993.
