**1 – Dedric Lawson -** Easily KU’s best player in this one and it was almost enough. Finished with 20 points and 14 rebounds after recording 11 points and 11 rebounds in the first half alone.
**2 – Devon Dotson -** So good going to the rim and competitive all night. KU needed a little more from him to get by the Wildcats, though. Some early fouls hurt his effectiveness.
**3 – Marcus Garrett -** It wasn’t his night shooting the ball — just 1-of-9 from the floor — but he was his usual self in every other way. Foul trouble might have factored into his struggles offensively.
**4 – Ochai Agbaji -** Gave great minutes early and showed, once again, that he’s not afraid of the big moments. Didn’t do much in the second half, but finished with 7 points and 2 rebounds in 21 minutes.
**5 – Quentin Grimes -** Hit a couple of big 3-pointers, both early and late, but did little else in the game or on the stat sheet on a night when KU needed him to do a lot.
**6 – Lagerald Vick -** Had a couple of moments early, but was borderline nonexistent in the second half until the very end. Not what you want to see from your senior who has been in a bunch of games like this before. Scored 10 points and grabbed 6 rebounds on 4-of-9 shooting.
**7 – David McCormack -** Gave great effort and energy but that didn’t make up for his poor decision making and sped up play.
**8 – K.J. Lawson -** Didn’t see much action and didn’t do anything of note when he was out there. The fact that he was, though, says all you need to know about Charlie Moore’s status.
