Rush’s run continues

_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**: Scored 15 of his 18 points in the first half to lead the team to a 23-point halftime advantage.**2. Mario Chalmers**: Had 16 points, four assists, three steals and a blocked shot.**3. Darrell Arthur**: Charged with just two personal fouls in 27 minutes and had 17 points and seven rebounds.**4. Sherron Collins**: Made three of four three-pointers and dished five assists with only one turnover.**5. Darnell Jackson**: Stays so active on the offensive boards that double-digit scoring games have become the rule rather than the exception.**6. Sasha Kaun**: Would rank much higher here, with seven rebounds in 12 minutes, if only he had done better at the free throw line, where he made just one of six and seemed to have even more trouble than usual with his follow-through.**7. Russell Robinson**: Charged with four turnovers.**8. Cole Aldrich**: Two steals, a blocked shot and two rebounds in 10 minutes for the always-active freshman. **9. Jeremy Case**: Buried one of two three-point shots.**10. Tyrel Reed**: Played just two minutes, time enough to pick up an assist.**11. Rodrick Stewart**: Two sloppy passes resulted in a pair of turnovers.**The Keegan Ratings: Season Standings (based on average points)** **1.** Mario Chalmers **7.56** (257 points, 34 games) **2.** Darnell Jackson **7.26** (254 points, 35 games) **3.** Brandon Rush **6.91** (228 points, 33 games) **4.** Darrell Arthur **6.66** (233 point, 35 games) **5.** Russell Robinson **6.29** (220 points, 35 games) **6.** Sherron Collins **5.93** (172 points, 29 games) **7.** Sasha Kaun **5.54** (194 points, 35 games) **8.** Cole Aldrich **3.94** (138 points, 35 games) **9.** Rod Stewart **3.41** (109 points, 32 games) **10.** Tyrel Reed **3.00** (60 points, 20 games) **11.** Jeremy Case **2.58** (67 points, 26 games)
