It’s only four games into the Big 12 slate, so it’s far too early to count out the Kansas University women’s basketball team.

But with a 1-3 mark in the conference after back-to-back losses, the Jayhawks find themselves in dire need of a victory.

It won’t come easily today, when KU plays host to a second-straight Top-25 opponent, No. 14 Oklahoma, at noon.

The Jayhawks are 0-7 against OU under coach Bonnie Henrickson and haven’t topped the Sooners (14-3, 4-0) since Feb. 20, 1999.

Though the Jayhawks have lamented what they feel should have been a 3-1 start to conference play, they’re focused on moving forward.

“We have got to stay together,” Henrickson said following Wednesday’s blowout loss to Baylor. “We have to go back to competing on every single play and get back to who we were for a big stretch of the nonconference.”

To get back in the win column, the Jayhawks will certainly need to regain a sense of identity on both ends.

Leading scorer Carolyn Davis was held to only two points by Brittney Griner and Baylor on Wednesday, when no other Jayhawk was much of a factor offensively, either.

In the noncon schedule, the Jayhawks used their active hands and strong half-court defense to generate steals and get out in transition.

Recently, though, KU hasn’t had as many fast-break baskets, getting only six total in losses against Nebraska and Baylor, and has been bogged down in half-court sets.

The Sooners are led by speedy guard Danielle Robinson, who carries impressive averages of 18.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 3.2 steals.

Along with Robinson, 6-foot-1 guard Whitney Hand (14.4 points, 7.2 rebounds) and freshman Aaryn Ellenberg (16.4 points) pose a big challenge for KU’s backcourt.

Notes: KU and OU played on Jan. 23 last year as well, with the Sooners prevailing 81-69 in Norman … Sophomore Angel Goodrich, a Tahlequah, Okla., native, will make her first career appearance against the Sooners after missing the past two meetings recuperating from knee injuries … The game will be televised on FSN (cable channels 36, 236).
