Kansas University’s women’s basketball game against Dartmouth turned into a career fair, as several Jayhawks strengthened their resumes with career highs.

Guard Kaylee Brown set three career bests in KU’s 84-51 victory Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse, including 18 points and four three-pointers.

But perhaps the most staggering performance was Erica Hallman’s 13 assists, the most for a Jayhawk since 1995 and tied for second-best all-time at KU.

“I’m not selfish at all,” Hallman said. “I’ll take an assist over a point any day.”

It was Hallman’s unselfishness that allowed her to feed the ball inside all game, especially to Crystal Kemp, who led all scorers with 24 points, two shy of her all-time high.

KU coach Bonnie Henrickson said Hallman’s improvement had been a major difference in a team that struggled early in the season but dominated Saturday.

“She’s just really grown in her grasp of the offense about reading defense,” Henrickson said. “If you go back to our first game, she couldn’t figure out if it was a man or a zone.

“She plays with so much more confidence now because she recognizes defenses.”

Kemp was the recipient of most of Hallman’s assists and was the ringleader in KU’s 48 points in the paint. Dartmouth’s inability to stop Kemp — who started the game with a perfect 8-for-8 shooting from the field — and Taylor McIntosh from easy penetration around the basket haunted the Big Green.

McIntosh tallied a double-double, including an 11-point performance that dwarfed her season average of 3.3. She also contributed 10 rebounds to KU’s total of 44, 19 of which came on the offensive end and resulted in 23 second-chance points.

The game was a breaking-out party for the offense, which had struggled until Saturday. The Jayhawks shot nearly 59 percent in the first half and 50 percent on the day.

“It’s great screens, unselfish play, being aggressive in transition,” Henrickson said. “How many lay-ups? You should shoot that well if you’re going to shoot that many lay-ups.”

KU’s shooting percentage was a stark contrast to Dartmouth’s, especially in the second half when the Big Green only managed to make 16 percent of its shots. Dartmouth suffered through just more than eight minutes in the second half where it did not make a field goal.

The Big Green, however, scored 12 of its 20 second-half points from the free-throw line.

“We were disappointed that we fouled that much,” Henrickson said. “Right now, the most glaring (problem) is being able to defend penetration without fouling, and we didn’t do a very good job of that.”

The outcome of the game was in little doubt from the opening tipoff. KU jumped to a quick 19-9 lead, with eight points coming from Kemp, who was mostly uncontested on each of the four lay-ups she tallied.

But it was the second half where the Jayhawks quickly ran away with a 20-8 run.

Henrickson said her team was helped by an unusually excited and raucous crowd at Allen Fieldhouse.

“I’m pleased with our energy and intensity, and I thought we had our hands full to try and match the intensity of the crowd today, and I thought we did it,” Henrickson said. “It was a great atmosphere for us.”
