In a fierce showdown at the Allen Fieldhouse the UH women’s basketball team clashed with the Kansas Jayhawks, ultimately succumbing with a final score of 52-69.
Facing a relentless defensive onslaught the Cougars struggled to find their rhythm on the court, mustering a mere 28% shooting from the field and 17% from beyond the arc. Their defensive efforts were similarly challenged, especially in containing the dominant presence of Kansas center Taiyanna Jackson and two other Jayhawks who tallied double-digit scores.
Despite these formidable obstacles senior guard Laila Blair emerged as a beacon of resilience for the Cougars, delivering an impressive performance with 18 points, two rebounds, and a crucial assist.
