_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. Brandon Rush**: He was ultra-aggressive and on fire from the outside, making five of nine three-point shots. Had 21 points, four rebounds, three assists aqnd a steal. Three of his rebounds were on the offensive boards, including a tip-in.**2. Russell Robinson**: Became the aggressor from the start, putting a shaky February behind him with 14 points, four rebounds, five assists and four steals.**3. Sherron Collins**: Came back to life in a big way with 18 points, four assists, four steals and a nasty streak.**4. Sasha Kaun**: Leaned on Michael Beasley in the first half and slowed him down. Also contributed nine points and seven rebounds.**5. Darnell Jackson**: Had two quick fouls and played very little in the first half, but made up for it in the second half.**6. Mario Chalmers**: Did a nice job of applying defensive pressure and had a better day than his stat line would lead you to believe. His shot just wasn’t falling.**7. Darrell Arthur**: Fouled out after 23 minutes. Had 10 points and five rebounds.**8. Rodrick Stewart**: Made a productive return with three offensive rebounds, two assists and a steal in nine minutes.**9. Cole Aldrich**: Didn’t do anything offensively but was extremely aggressive on the boards and on defense. **The Keegan Ratings: Season Standings (based on average points)** **1.** Darnell Jackson **7.79** (226 points, 29 games) **2.** Mario Chalmers **7.75** (217 points, 28 games) **3.** Brandon Rush **7.15** (193 points, 27 games) **4.** Darrell Arthur **6.66/b> (193 point, 29 games) **5.** Russell Robinson **6.31** (183 points, 29 games) **6.** Sasha Kaun **5.72** (166 points, 29 games) **7.** Sherron Collins **5.65** (130 points, 23 games) **8.** Cole Aldrich **4.14** (116 points, 28 games) **9.** Rod Stewart **3.68** (103 points, 28 games) **10.** Tyrel Reed **3.17** (57 points, 18 games) **11.** Jeremy Case **2.25** (54 points, 24 games)**
