Now Alabama has to regroup and travel to Lawrence, Kansas, for the Hall of Fame Women’s Challenge.
“This upcoming weekend is going to be a tough matchup. We are going against top teams in Kansas,” sophomore Ashley Williams said after the JSU game. “[We need to] just go out there, just forget what happened now and move on.”
Alabama is slated to play host Kansas (2-0) on Friday at 6:00 p.m. Last year, Kansas finished 13-19 and 6-2 against non-conference opponents at home. Following that game, Alabama will play Georgetown (1-1) on Saturday and Temple (1-1) on Sunday.
“As a staff right now we are prepared, and obviously my assistant Terry Nunor played at Kansas and worked at Kansas and knows the system very well. So that’s an advantage,” coach Kristy Curry said.
Curry has talked a lot about the team needing more balance. Williams and freshman Hannah Cook have combined to score 62.9 percent of all of Alabama’s points in the first three games.
The team is young, and Curry said she realizes that. She is looking for the program to get better in the long run, and time is just what she said the team needs.
“I’m not worried about anything other than every single day getting better,” she said. “Right now that needs to be our focus. We are in season one, and we need to allow season one to make us better to get ready for season two.”
