_After each KU basketball game this season, this is where you can find out the hardwood equivalent of The Nielsen Ratings from Journal-World sports editor Tom Keegan. He’ll rate the Jayhawk **scholarship players’ individual performances**, telling you who was worth tuning in to watch. If you agree or maybe even differ, make sure to comment and tell Tom how you really feel. (**Scoring**: Each week, the top player in the ratings will be awarded 10 points. Second best gets nine points. Third best gets eight points, and so on and so on. The season standings are at the bottom)_**1. Darnell Jackson**: His cousin, with whom he was close, was shot and killed Wednesday and on Saturday, Jackson not only played, he led KU in scoring and rebounding with 16 points and 10 boards.**2. Mario Chalmers**: Not a great game in any respect, but he had plenty of company in that regard.**3. Russell Robinson**: Torched repeatedly by Byron Eaton, Robinson did a nice job of scoring to break droughts and of taking care of the basketball. He had just two of KU’s 21 turnovers.**4. Cole Aldrich**: Has earned more than nine minutes of playing time. Will he get it? Had two points, three rebounds and a steal.**5. Sasha Kaun**: Appeared a little out of control, fouling too often and turning it over twice.**6. Brandon Rush**: Invisible in the first half, he scored 12 points in the second half, which didn’t excuse his passive first-half play.**7. Rodrick Stewart**: Showed up, despite the murder of his brother on Wednesday, but was the first to say afterward he wasn’t all there mentally.**8. Jeremy Case**: Made cameo appearance in the final game he will play in his home state. **9. Sherron Collins**: Was whistled for two quick fouls and was scoreless in 11 minutes. His knee must get right for KU to have a realistic shot at getting to the Final Four.**10. Darrell Arthur**: Fouled out in just 17 minutes and attempted just three shots. His inside scoring is the key to KU’s offense and he can’t score when sitting on the bench. Arthur needs to find out a way to stay out of foul trouble.**The Keegan Ratings: Season Standings (based on average points)** **1.** Darnell Jackson **8.04** (217 points, 27 games) **2.** Mario Chalmers **7.92** (206 points, 26 games) **3.** Brandon Rush **7.12** (178 points, 25 games) **4.** Darrell Arthur **6.74/b> (182 point, 27 games) **5.** Russell Robinson **6.30** (170 points, 27 games) **6.** Sasha Kaun **5.81** (157 points, 27 games) **7.** Sherron Collins **5.76** (121 points, 21 games) **8.** Cole Aldrich **4.38** (114 points, 26 games) **9.** Rod Stewart **3.74** (101 points, 27 games) **10.** Tyrel Reed **3.17** (57 points, 18 games) **11.** Jeremy Case **2.25** (54 points, 24 games)**
