Statistical Rearview: Corn Husked...Check

Killer instinct.  Sherron says the Jayhawks lack in this department and it's hard to argue.  Kansas is a very good team, has tons of potential but they lack the ability to be great at the moment.  I'm not going to spend a whole lot of time breaking down the ins and outs of this one because it's Super Bowl Sunday and obviously we've got a bigger game on Monday.  The fact is, Kansas won.  Standhardinger lost.  Kansas can still be better and has to find a way to bring it on a consistent basis in the last eight games of conference play.  Four at home, four on the road and a three game lead.  Hold suit at home and take one on the road and the Jayhawks secure a share of number six.  The expectation is higher though.  Traveling to Austin, College Station, Stillwater and Columbia will be tough, but it's a stretch that can build character quickly.  Rock Chalk...enjoy your Super Bowl Sunday...KC's early thoughts this afternoon and of course Big Monday tomorrow in Austin.

Marcus Morris continues to emerge as a big time player for the Kansas Jayhawks.  20 points and 11 boards, you just can't ask for anything more from the four spot.  I know we've talked about the Morri as one person around here but I think it's time to start giving McMorris his due.  Markieffs 9 sure was a nice bonus, but until we consistently get good Kieff...McMorris is his own man and Kieff is the lesser Morri.

Also loved what Jeff Withey contributed.  I know he's not there yet, but it would be great if he were given some more opportunity to grow.
