_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**: Backed up his 20-point game against Yale with a career high 25 points and added nine rebounds and two steals.**2. Darrell Arthur**: Had 22 points, seven rebounds and two blocked shots.**3. Sasha Kaun**: Contributed eight points, five boards and typically strong defensive work in 17 minutes.**4. Brandon Rush**: Had 12 points and five rebounds, but still isn’t moving well enough to be the lock-up defender had head been before the knee injury.**5. Russell Robinson**: He couldn’t stop Tyrese Rice in the first half and neither could anybody else who guarded him, but locked him up in the second half.**6. Mario Chalmers**: Had four steals and six assists and did not turn it over.**7. Sherron Collins**: His quickness is returning and was a factor in him getting five assists.**8. Rod Stewart**: Contributed eight energetic minutes, which is about what is role is now that the roster is back to full strength.**9. Tyrel Reed**: Nice cross-over dribble and jumper.**10. Cole Aldrich**: Had two blocked shots and two offensive rebounds, on the same possession, but couldn’t make any of his three shots.**11. Jeremy Case**: Had an assist in two minutes. **The Keegan Ratings: Season Standings (based on average points)** **1.** Darnell Jackson **8.07** (113 points, 14 games) **2.** Mario Chalmers **7.14** (100 points, 14 games) **3.** Russell Robinson **6.50** (91 points, 14 games) **4.** Darrell Arthur **6.43** (90 point, 14 games) **5.** Brandon Rush **6.25** (75 points, 12 games) **6.** Sherron Collins **5.50** (44 points, 8 games) **7.** Sasha Kaun **5.36** (75 points, 14 games) **8.** Rod Stewart **4.57** (64 points, 14 games) **9.** Cole Aldrich **4.07** (57 points, 14 games) **10.** Tyrel Reed **4.10** (41 points, 10 games) **11.** Jeremy Case **2.08** (25 points, 12 games)
