KU women drop 58-51 decision to A&M, fall to 1-5 in league play

The Kansas University women’s basketball team took a 30-29 lead into the half Saturday night against No. 20 Texas A&M in Allen Fieldhouse. That’ll have to do as a building block for Bonnie Henrickson’s ballclub, as the Jayhawks ultimately fell to the Aggies 58-51, dropping KU to 12-7 on the season and 1-5 in Big 12 play.

Texas A&M was just 20-of-61 from the floor, but KU couldn’t capitalize, as lack of scoring punch again appeared as a bugaboo for the Jayhawks. Danielle McCray, KU’s leading scorer, played 39 minutes, but was just 4-of-14 from the floor, finishing with a team-high 11 points. Sade Morris and LaChelda Jacobs each scored 10, but the two combined for 11 of KU’s 21 turnovers.

Things stay challenging for KU in the immediate future, as they’ll travel to Norman, Okla., to take on the No. 6 Sooners Wednesday night at 7 p.m.
