_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. Darrell Arthur**: Played 31 minutes, reaching 30 minutes for third time. He’s averaging 20.3 points per game in those three games. Finished with 18 points and 10 rebounds, including five offensive boards.**2. Mario Chalmers**: Had defensive lapses, but generated 15 points on just eight field goal attempts for yet another efficient shooting night. **3. Brandon Rush**: Compensated for another first-half vanishing act, offensively anyway, got hot in the second half and scored 12 of his 15 points. Rahshon Clark can’t score on Rush.**4. Russell Robinson**: Still in a wicked shooting slump but took good care of the ball and collected a career-high 10 rebounds.**5. Darnell Jackson**: When others looked sluggish, he looked pumped up, as usual. Finished with seven points and eight rebounds.**6. Sasha Kaun**: A very active 16 minutes in all facets of the game. Kaun had eight points and three blocked shots.**7. Sherron Collins**: Four turnovers in 18 minutes tainted an otherwise solid performance by the guard still hampered by knee problems.**8. Cole Aldrich**: Needed for just four minutes of hustle, time enough to get two rebounds. Fired from long range and missed on his only field goal attempt.**The Keegan Ratings: Season Standings (based on average points)** **T-1.** Darnell Jackson **7.89** (221 points, 28 games) **T-1.** Mario Chalmers **7.89** (213 points, 27 games) **3.** Brandon Rush **7.08** (184 points, 26 games) **4.** Darrell Arthur **6.79/b> (190 point, 28 games) **5.** Russell Robinson **6.25** (175 points, 28 games) **6.** Sasha Kaun **5.71** (160 points, 28 games) **7.** Sherron Collins **5.59** (123 points, 22 games) **8.** Cole Aldrich **4.26** (115 points, 27 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)**
