Aldrich, Collins rise to top of ratings

By Staff     Mar 11, 2010

**1. Cole Aldrich:** He made all the shooters hesitate in the second half and finished the game with 12 points, 18 rebounds and three blocked shots.

**2. Sherron Collins:** Whistled for three first-half fouls, Collins played only 26 minutes, time enough to score 19 points, even though he attempted just eight field goals. He also dished six assists.

**3. Markieff Morris:** He continues to do strong work on the boards and plays physically down low, but he’s still turning it over too often. Finished with 11 points, nine rebounds, two blocked shots and three turnovers.

**4. Xavier Henry:** Had his three-point touch working and it was the highlight of a day in which he totaled 13 points, six rebounds and two steals.

**5. Marcus Morris:** Contributed 12 points, five rebounds and two steals.

**6. Tyshawn Taylor:** Had trouble finishing and scored just two points, but did contribute four assists without a turnover.

**7. Brady Morningstar:** Had Tyrel Reed wide open for a three on the left wing and kept the ball himself. Otherwise, Morningstar played a solid game and pitched in five points, four assists and a steal and did not pick up a turnover.

**8. Tyrel Reed:** Always brings energy and on this day, KU lacked that quality. Scored four points in 17 minutes.

**9. Thomas Robinson:** Threw a horrible pass and failed to finish a hard drive to the hoop, but did block two shots in five minutes.

**10. Elijah Johnson:** Didn’t get in until final minute.

**11. Jeff Withey:** Didn’t get in until final minute.

**12. C.J. Henry:** Didn’t get in until the final minute.
