It’s all about the bigs. The Kansas Jayhawks (7-0) will bring 6-foot-6 Taiyanna Jackson to McKale Center on Thursday, Dec. 8. She’s the tallest player Arizona (7-0) has faced this season. With 6-foot-5 Lauren Ware out for the season, the only Wildcat within two inches of Jackson is 6-foot-4 freshman Maya Nnaji.
Among the starters, no Wildcat is taller than 6-foot-2. Both fifth-year Cate Reese and senior Esmery Martinez hit that height, but they have not had to face a lineup that’s taller than them this season.
The Jayhawks feature six players who are at least 6-foot-3.
