KU women’s basketball releases schedule

Kansas University head coach Bonnie Henrickson talks to her team during a timeout in their game against Memphis Saturday, Nov. 27, 2010 at Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks were too much for the Tigers, beating them 90-58.

The Kansas University women’s basketball team will play 19 teams that advanced to the postseason last year in its 2011-12 schedule, which was released Tuesday.

The Jayhawks will play 19 of their 30 games at Allen Fieldhouse, which includes the regular-season opener against Western Michigan on Nov. 13.

KU will play just two non-conference road games: at Wake Forest on Nov. 20 and at Alabama on Dec. 4.

The Jayhawks also will face Creighton, Lamar and Oral Roberts at home — three teams that appeared in the WNIT last season.

KU opens the 18-game conference schedule at Texas on Jan. 4. The Jayhawks host Kansas State on Jan. 7 and Missouri on Feb. 18.
