Elijah Johnson gives KU offensive spark against Texas A&M

By Staff     Feb 23, 2012

**1. Elijah Johnson:** Scored 18 of his 21 points in the first half, made 7 of 11 field goals and 3 of 7 three-pointers, didn’t turn it over once and had two steals. Fell two points shy of the career high he set against UCLA.

**2. Jeff Withey:** Blocked four shots and altered a ton to go with 11 points and seven rebounds.

**3. Tyshawn Taylor:** Didn’t penetrate as well as usual and got into foul trouble that limited him to 30 minutes. Scored 10 of his 12 points in the second half.

**4. Thomas Robinson:** Unnecessary technical that came on a shove and was his fifth foul could have been costly had the game gone into overtime. Made just 3 of 10 shots, and finished with 10 points, 13 rebounds and four assists.

**5. Travis Releford:** Scrapped his way to seven rebounds and had four points and two assists.

**6. Conner Teahan:** Missed all six three-point attempts, but had his first blocked shot since November 2009 and set a career high with eight rebounds, three off the offensive glass.

**7. Kevin Young:** Hustled his way to four points, two boards and a blocked shot, but also took an ill-advised shot.

**8. Justin Wesley:** Played five minutes without fouling and picked up a rebound.

**9. Naadir Tharpe:** Threw a pass that missed the intended receiver by so much that if it had not been intercepted, he might have drawn a flag for intentional grounding.
