It's time for Johnson to snap out of his offensive woes and play like the player that he is capable of being. Kansas fans saw what he could do in the Jayhawks victory over the UCLA Bruins, scoring 23 points and shooting 62 percent from the court.

Taylor is playing as good as any guard in the country, and he is finally living up to the expectations that fans have bestowed on him.
offense. There is no reason why the Jayhawks can't throw lob passes to Johnson and take advantage of his athleticism.
Even though Johnson has attempted more shots this season, because he has played more minutes, his field goal and three-point percentages last season were better.

Johnson has tremendous upside and talent. Now that the front court is playing up to its potential, the back court needs to follow suit.
INSIDE THIS ISSUE
--the community feel, I am referred to as the "one and done" scholarship hall kid because after one solid year of living with 49 other women at Sellards, I was out.
{ From the Editor }
've done the cooperative living thing before, and while I am a big fan of the community feel I am referred to
I am sure I am not the first person to say this, and I am sure that I am pissing off women across campus as they read this, but with women come unnecessary drama. Do you know how many times I walked into the public lobby, and two girls were having one of those intense conversations that you know you don't have a place in, and they glare at you like you meant to steal their precious little high school drama secret and put it all over Facebook? Too many times. So I'd sit around in the lobby working on my
homework right next to them just to piss them off a little bit and for my own amusement. Note to Sellards girls: just because you were whispering, doesn't mean I couldn't hear you.
Don't get me wrong, I loved the women I met in that house. Some of them are still near and dear to me. After all, we got to know each other through three hour cooking shifts in the kitchen, where we would blast hip hop music, make fools out of ourselves and laugh off the daily school stress.
The benefit of the estrogen-infused house was the sense of family we inevitably felt living with each other. Considering how limited we were with private space in the house, we all knew each other's problems. While that sounds like a complete invasion of privacy, it was like having a powerful support system of 50 caring women. (Who runs the world? Girls.)
If cooperative living solely meant spontaneous dance parties in the middle of the kitchen throughout the week, I would have never left Sellards. Since that's hardly the case, I'll stick with just two roommates.

Texas Christian University defensive end D. J. Yendey (34) watches the ball fumbled by Boise State running back Drew Wright, bottom left, in the fourth quarter of an NCAA college football game, in Boise, Ind. Authorities arrested 17 students, three of which were on the football team, in a sweeping drug sting at TCU on Wednesday, Feb. 15, 2012.
"There are days people want to be a head football coach, but today is not one of those days. As I heard the news this morning, I was first shocked, then hurt and now I'm mad," TCU football coach Gary Patterson said in a statement released to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
The arrests came after a six-month investigation by the Fort Worth police.
Brock led the Horned Frogs in tackles in their 13-0 2010 season that concluded in a 21-19 Rose Bowl victory against Wisconsin. He missed most of the 2011 season due to injury.
The four players arrested are linebacker Tanner Brock, offensive tackle Tyler Horn, safety Devin Johnson, and defensive lineman DJ. Yendry.
Yendry tied for second on the team in 2011 with three sacks, while Johnson was second on the team recording eight tackles for a loss.

Texas Christian University linebacker Tanner Brock (35) tackles BYU wide receiver O'Neill Chambers during an NCAA football game in Fort Worth, Texas. Brock was one of three arrested in connection to the drug bust.
According to Fort Worth Police chief Steve McGee, the drugs distributed included marijuana, cocaine, molly (a powdered form
"Under my watch, drugs and drug use by TCU's student-athletes will not be tolerated by me or any member of my coaching staff. Period. Our program is respected nationally for its strong ethics and for that reason the players arrested today were separated from TCU by the University. I believe strongly that young peoples' lives are more important than wins or losses," Patterson said in the release to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
"There is no doubt all of these individuals are drug dealers," McGee said in a press conference Wednesday morning. "These individuals engaged in hand-to-hand delivery, for money, with undercover narcotic agents."
The four football players are no longer listed on the roster on the Honned Frogs' football website and have been separated from the University and are not attending classes.
