FREEPORT, Bahamas--TCU wraps up its two-game set at the Junakoo Jam Saturday, when it takes on Kansas (No. 18 Associated Press; No. 23 coaches) at 1 p.m. on Grand Bahama Island. The matchup will determine the third-place finisher in the four-team Freeport division.
The Frogs will be looking to leave the Bahamas with at least one victory following Friday's 61-56 setback to Minnesota. The squad hopes for a better start than the one it had against the Gophers, when it found itself in a 17-point decifit in the first half before rallying.
TCU and Kansas will be meeting for the first time ever on the hardwood. The Jayhawks fell into the tournament's third-place game with a 76-71 loss to No. 8 Xavier on Thursday.
Due to the TCU football game, the Lady Frog radio broadcast will not air on KTCU 88.7 FM as usual, but will be available only via the web on GoFrogs.com. Visit the link at the top of this page to pull up the radio site.

SCOUTING THE KANSAS JAYHAWKS
Kansas returns four starters from last season's team that reached the championship game of the WNIT before finishing with a 22-14 overall record. The squad, coached by Bonnie Henrickson, rallied from a 2-9 mark in Big 12 Conference play to finish in seventh place with a 6-10 mark.
KU, currently ranked No. 18 by the Associated Press and No. 23 by the coaches, is 3-0 to start this season with wins over Oral Roberts, Iowa and Michigan.
Returning All-Big 12 First Team member Danielle McCray, an All-American candidate at guard, leads the Jayhawks in scoring this season at 19.3 ppg, with additional averages of 9.0 rpg and 3.7 apg. Three other Jayhawks also average double figures in scoring: guard Sade Morris (16.0 ppg), forward Aishah Sutherland (16.0 ppg) and center Krysten Boogaard (12.7 ppg). Sutherland is the team's leading rebounder (10.0 rpg).
