Above: Brandon Rush and Sherron Collins cracking up!!It wasn't an easy win despite the score of 92-60. KU was missing Sherron Collins who is injured and on crutches after surgery on his foot. Collins, will be out until the first of the year. So Bill Self needed to find someone who could fill in for Collins, who was filling in for Brandon Rush. Starting was senior Rodrick Stewart. At a couple of times during the first few minutes the Icabods were leading KU. It was hard to watch the game when the 'Hawks were behind. They struggled at the free throw line and Sasha Kaun had two quick fouls.
Then coach Bill Self put in a substitution. The crowd was shouting loudly. It was Brandon Rush coming off of the bench. Nearly looking to be in his old form, he collected 7 points in the first half and had a steal which sparked the Jayhawks to do a turn around and they never were behind again.
In the second half, Sasha Kaun scored all 10 of his points and started playing more aggressively off the bench. Sitting down for a long time in the first half, gave him time to think how he wanted to play in the second half. It did him wonders.
One of the outstanding plays of the game came in the second half when Russell Robinson came up with a steal and passed it off to Rodrick Stewart, who did a one-handed dunk. It was perfect!
Freshmen Tyrell Reed (who looks like Kirk Hinrich) scored 8 points; Cole Aldrich (who resembles Greg Ostertag) played very well defensively for a big man; and Conner Teahan (who resembles Zac Efron, from "High School Musical," fame) came off the bench scoring two 3 pointers, and was perfect at the free-throw line. These three freshman is the future of Jayhawk basketball.
Scoring for the 'Hawks were Darrell Arthur with 14 points; Sasha Kaun, Mario Chalmers, and Darnell Jackson had 10 points; Rodrick Stewart scored 9 points; Russell Robinson and Tyrell Reed each scored 8 points; Brandon Rush and Conner Teahan had 7 points a piece; Cole Aldrich and Brennan Bechard each had 3 points; and rounding out the scoring was Jeremy Case with 2.
The Hawks still need to work on shooting at the free-throw line and not to make "silly" plays. This is still early in the season and they do have room to improve.
The next game....is Northern Arizona vs. KU on Wednesday....we will be there. Watch for us on TV! We will be that little spec of people in the student section!
KU football team is playing Iowa State on Saturday. Their final home game, senior day. Hopefully they can continue on their winning ways.
ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK!

Ok you have completely missed your calling in life. You definitely should be a KU sports reporter.
When I went to college I wanted to be a sportswriter. You know what stopped me? I couldn't interview people because I was very shy back then.
