CU is certain that Jeffery's return - in conjunction with several intangibles - will make a big difference here Tuesday morning (10 a.m. MST, FSN Rocky Mountain) against Kansas in the opening game of the Big 12 Conference's postseason women's tournament.
"It'll help a lot," said Buffs senior Brittany Spears, who is closing in on a CU career milestone. "She brings energy, defense and scoring - everything you need in a teammate."
Added first-year CU Coach Linda Lappe: "It's going to be nice to have her back. Just going back and watching film, knowing what she brings to our team offensively, defensively and rebounding, she's going to add another dimension to what we're doing."
Spears needs 14 points to become CU's career scoring leader, supplanting Lisa Van Goor (2,067 from 1980-85). "People have been telling me about (the record)," Spears said. "I knew I was close, but I just want to win the game (Tuesday)."
