Aldrich edges out Xavier, Taylor for top spot

By Staff     Feb 20, 2010

**1. Cole Aldrich:** Dominated with 17 points, 10 rebounds and five blocked shots. Hook shot looked great.

**2. Xavier Henry:** Ultra-aggressive effort led to 24 points, six rebounds and 4 of 7 three-pointers.

**3. Tyshawn Taylor:** Rewarded his coach for returning him to the starting lineup and made 6 of 7 field goals. Had 17 points, six assists and two steals. Still needs to cut down on turnovers (three), but played under control most of the time.

**4. Sherron Collins:** Hit 3 of 7 three-point shots on the day he moved into a tie for the winningest player in KU history.

**5. Markieff Morris:** Other than five turnovers, he played a terrific game, totaling 11 points, seven rebounds and two blocked shots.

**6. Marcus Morris:** Had five points, five rebounds, two assists and a steal.

**7. Brady Morningstar:** Took just one shot and was scoreless but did contribute two assists and two steals.

**8. Tyrel Reed:** Active defensively, but made just 1 of 4 shots.

**9. Thomas Robinson:** Came in, quickly turned it over with a terrible pass, put up an airball from close range, but as always hustled and hit the boards hard, picking up two offensive rebounds and a steal in six minutes.

**10. Elijah Johnson:** Had two points and two turnovers in five minutes.

**11. Jeff Withey:** Had a rough three minutes in some ways but did pick up two rebounds.
