By Staff     Jan 22, 2011

**1. Tyrel Reed:** Made 5 of 9 three-point shots and has hit 12 of 21 three-pointers in the past three games. Led team with 17 points and had two steals. Lost track of his man, Cory Joseph, who burned him with a pair of three-pointers.
**2. Brady Morningstar:** Scored eight points, made 4 of 5 shots, had three assists, a steal, a blocked shot and one turnover. Did a strong job guarding Jordan Hamilton when he was on him and annoyed him to the point Hamilton was whistled for a technical for trash-talking him after scoring on him.

**3. Marcus Morris:** Had a strong stretch late to pull KU closer, but it was too late during what amounted to an off night for him. Misfired on all four three-point attempts and made just 6 of 17 overall. Had 16 points and seven rebounds.

**4. Tyshawn Taylor:** Had six assists without a turnover but made just 2 of 8 shots.

**5. Thomas Robinson:** Showed his mental toughness by playing the day after the unexpected death of his mother. Had two points, five rebounds and four personal fouls in eight minutes.

**6. Markieff Morris:** Was no match for Texas freshman Tristan Thompson. Had 10 points and five boards on a 2-for-7 shooting day.

**7. Jeff Withey:** Played three minutes and picked up three rebounds.

**8. Josh Selby:** Made 2 of 9 field goals, missed all three-point tries and finished with four points, four personals and two turnovers. Is shooting .361 overall and .235 from three-point range in Big 12 play.

**9. Mario Little**: Looked as if he were trying to bust moves that would remind the crowd of his idol, Michael Jordan, but it didn’t quite work out that way. Made 1 of 4 shots, had a jumper blocked, committed a turnover and totaled two points and three rebounds in 13 minutes.

**10. Elijah Johnson:** Played four minutes, missed a shot and had two unforced turnovers.
