LAWRENCE — Caelynn Manning-Allen tried a lob pass to teammate Chayla Cheadle in the post, only to have the ball deflected right back to her.
Given a second chance, Manning-Allen hesitated only a second before firing a bullet pass to Cheadle, an ill-advised attempt that bounced off Cheadle’s hands and out of bounds for a turnover.
The third-quarter sequence was just one example of the Kansas women’s basketball team’s main issue Sunday as the Jayhawks fell 65-45 to West Virginia at Allen Fieldhouse.
WVU’s pressuring man defense hounded KU all day, forcing 22 turnovers as the Jayhawks had trouble initiating their offensive sets.
