Michael Lee, sophomore guard, battles for a rebound after a Missouri shot. Lee had two rebounds on defense yesterday at the Fieldhouse.

"A couple of players in warmups passed me the ball more and said, 'Here, Michael, it's your present." Lee said.
Lee played a career-high 28 minutes against Missouri, tallying seven points, four rebounds, two assists and two steals.
Where high school teammate Aaron Miles failed, Lee succeeded, after Miles played a season-low 19 minutes.
Miles spent all but six minutes of the second half on the bench after the sophomore point guard scored two points and committed six turnovers against five assists.
"I told Aaron I don't give a blankety-blank about shooting the basketball," Kansas coach Roy Williams said. "You can't have six turnovers in this game."
In the post-game press conference, as angry as Williams was with Miles' play, the Kansas coach praised Lee.
"Birthday boy was sensational for us," Williams said. "He came in and played some good defense and made some free throws for us."
Not only was Lee in the lineup down the stretch of the game, but junior forward Bryant Nash also scored seven points and played 22 minutes, including the final minutes against the Tigers.
Nash said the team did not have much planned for Lee's celebration after the battle with Missouri.
"We'll probably go out there and beat him up a little bit," said Nash. "Maybe we'll play some video games."
Not only was Lee able to celebrate his birthday with a win, but Cynthia Lee, Michael's mother, had been in Lawrence since the Arizona game on Jan.
25.
Lee said his mother baked him a batch of cupcakes and bought him several shirts.
A Kansas win, 28 minutes of
playing time and cupcakes all contributed to a satisfying birthday for Lee, but Lee said he had only begun to tap into his potential.
"I'm taking a lot of big steps forward, but I still have a long ways to go," Lee said.

UConn moves up to No.1 ranking
The Associated Press
Connecticut left no room for doubt.
After an impressive victory at Duke, the Huskies were a unanimous choice to replace the Blue Devils at No.1 in The Associated Press women's basketball poll yesterday.
Connecticut (20-0) is the only unbeaten team in Division I and has won a women's record 59 straight games. The Huskies received all 44 first-place votes from a national media panel and had 1,100 points.
Duke (20-1), No. 1 in the first 12 polls of the season, slipped to second with 1,038 points.
This season marked the first time the Blue Devils had been ranked No. 1. Their hopes of staying there ended with a 77-65 loss to UConn on Saturday night in front of a full house at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Connecticut's move to the top was expected and certainly nothing new for the Huskies, who coming into this season had Been No.1 in 49 of the previous 56 poll. They were No.1 all last season, when they went 39-0 in winning their third
national championship.
Does this mean UConn is the best team again?
"I have no idea," coach Geno Auriemma said. "I've coached a lot of No. 1 teams in the country and this one has a lot of those pieces missing. But so do a lot of other people."
Connecticut beat Tennessee 63-62 in overtime in Hartford on Jan. 4. Tennessee (18-3) has won nine straight since and moved up one spot to third with 997 points - 41 behind Duke.
No. 4 LSU also climbed one spot, while Kansas State slipped two places to fifth after a 74-69 loss at unranked Iowa State. The Wildcats bounced back with a 74-45 victory at then-No. 19 Oklahoma.
Stanford remained sixth, while North Carolina and Texas Tech tied for seventh. Louisiana Tech was ninth and Purdue 10th.
Texas led the second 10 at No.11 and Mississippi State moved up one place to 12th. Then it was Penn State, Arkansas and Minnesota, followed by South Carolina, Georgia, Vanderbilt, UC Santa Barbara and Washington.

Clemons may be the guy who allegedly broke the law, and it now shows that he might have done it before in the past as well, but he was the bigger man last night, not reacting to the comments and taking it in stride.
With both of the Big Monday fan fiascoes having occurred, I've lost all faith in Kansas fans and
their ability to truly be fans, not hooligans. Luckily, the home schedule for the rest of the season does not show any more opportunities for random acts of idiocy.
However, to those students who found it so necessary to kick a man while he's down, your team may have won the game, but you lost your credibility as tasteful fans.
