Morris twins take top spots against Michigan

By Staff     Jan 9, 2011

**1. Marcus Morris:** KU needed all of his 22 points and 10 rebounds to escape with a victory.
**2. Markieff Morris:** Hit the shot of the game, a three-pointer in overtime, and also fed his brother cutting down the lane for a big bucket in OT.

**3. Tyshawn Taylor:** Had a strong defensive game and finished with 12 points and six rebounds but had a little trouble figuring out how to attack the 1-3-1 zone.

**4. Tyrel Reed:** Totaled 10 points, five rebounds and four steals, but struggled from the field (2 for 9, all three-pointers) and was beaten badly on defense late in the game.

**5. Brady Morningstar:** Stood out defensively lending key help on a number of occasions, but old man still hasn’t found his three-point stroke.

**6. Josh Selby:** Played like a freshman all the way all day.

**7. Travis Releford:** Sprained his ankle after four minutes of action and never was able to return. Could be back as soon as Wednesday in the Big 12 opener in Ames, Iowa.

**8. Thomas Robinson:** Had five rebounds in nine minutes, but made just 1 of 4 free throws and had three turnovers.

**9. Elijah Johnson:** Had a turnover, a steal, two missed three-pointers and three personal fouls in unproductive 10 minutes.
