Collins provides spark, tops ratings

**1. Sherron Collins:** Played with fury, fired up a dead crowd and a dead team by creating a cause: Hatred of the opponent. Scored 26 points.

**2. Xavier Henry:** Scored 11 of KU’s points during the decisive 21-2 run. Teammates beginning to look for him more and he’s rewarding them.

**3. Markieff Morris:** Was the main force on the interior during game-deciding stretch. Finished with 10 points, five rebounds, three blocked shots and two steals.

**4. Cole Aldrich:** Nine points, nine rebounds and three blocked shots made up for shaky early stretch.

**5. Brady Morningstar:** Hit a huge three-pointer and played solid defense to compensate for three turnovers.

**6. Tyrel Reed:** Hit a huge three-pointer early in the big second-half run and played solid defense.

**7. Tyshawn Taylor:** Played much better in the second half and finished with nine points, five assists, four rebounds and three steals. Had three turnovers and some defensive breakdowns.

**8. Marcus Morris:** Hasn’t had a big scoring game since he injured his finger and was limited to 11 minutes and two points in this one, largely because of foul trouble.

**9. Thomas Robinson:** Picked up two rebounds and a turnover in three minutes.
