Boulder, Colo. ? Kansas University’s women’s basketball team won’t give up on the rest of its season.

“We got to stay encouraged, keep fighting and hopefully get a win, if not the next game, the one after that,” said KU interim coach Lynette Woodard, whose Jayhawks suffered their sixth straight loss Saturday in a 69-63 setback to Texas A&M.

At 2-11 in the Big 12 Conference, Kansas (9-15 overall) has only a percentage-point edge over A&M (2-12) for the last two places in the league standings.

The Jayhawks’ season-worst losing streak won’t be easily broken tonight against 13th-ranked Colorado (20-5, 9-4). Tipoff is 8 p.m. at the Coors Events Center.

Undoubtedly, KU’s season hit its lowest point Saturday, but the Jayhawks said they hadn’t given up.

“When you go out there and put in the effort and still don’t seem to be able to get it, it’s kind of hard to figure out what’s going on,” said Crystal Kemp, KU’s top scorer. “But normally we get our spirits up somehow and try to get the next one.”

If history repeats itself, Kansas might have a shot — the Jayhawks lost to the Buffs, 59-49, Jan. 13 in Allen Fieldhouse.

However, KU’s recent history with Colorado has been bad, including a seven-game losing streak in the series.

Colorado has lost three of its last five games to nationally ranked Big 12 opponents, but rolled Oklahoma State, 72-57, Saturday in Boulder.

The Cowgirls were the only team KU defeated since Woodard took over for longtime coach Marian Washington, who took an indefinite leave of absence Jan. 29.

Players said Saturday they hadn’t been updated on Washington’s condition or whether she would return before the end of the season.

“Coach Woodard hasn’t told us anything,” Kemp said.

Kemp said she hadn’t heard of any players making contact with Washington.

“I don’t think they would tell us if they did,” she said. “Probably just on a one-on-one personal basis.”
