Like an eighth-grader on an elementary school playground, Cole Aldrich did whatever he liked Tuesday night.
If the sophomore wanted a layup, he laid it up. If he wanted a 16-footer, he took it. And if the Hornets wanted to score, Aldrich's big paws swatted away their dreams.
Aldrich finished with 17 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks in just 18 minutes on the court. His performance led a crew of big men who dominated the paint, the glass and everything in between.
Aldrich said he played sluggish in Kansas' first exhibition game one week ago, so this time he worked hard to fire out from the get-go. He opened
"We knew we had great size on them." Aldrich said. "We just really tried to get it inside and use that as an advantage."
That's a shot Aldrich said he worked on this summer. Coach Bill Self said he's OK with his big man firing it up.
"We had a high-low, they backed off him and he knocked it down right in rhythm," Self said. "Yeah, I'm very comfortable with him shooting that shot."

Aldrich said he's willing to extend that range a little farther but knows it's probably not the best idea.
"I can, but my percentage definitely goes down," Aldrich said. "I could shoot a half-courter if you guys want."
Self would prefer Aldrich stick to shots within five feet, which is where he and the Jayhawks did most of their damage against Emporia State. Kansas poured in 56 points in the paint.
Big men Aldrich, Quintrell Thomas, Travis Releford and Marcus and Markkieff Morris teamed for 48

He attempted two jumpers from well beyond the free-throw line in the first half and made both of them. Aldrich finished 7-for-8 from the field and 2-for-2 on shots outside the paint.
Aldrich said the shots weren't outside of his range, but he didn't think they'd happen often as the season goes on.
"I think my bigs have been doing a good job screenning me and getting me open," Collins said. "Without that, there wouldn't have been anything there."
The Jayhawks slowed down in the second half. Well, a little. They still outscored the Hornets by 19 points with Collins and Aldrich spending most of their time on the bench.
"Hopefully, I'll make it more times than I miss," Aldrich said. "I probably won't shoot that shot all too many times."
They still shot 49 percent from the field. A few of the newcomers kept the intensity rolling despite the lopsided score.
Junior guard Tyrone Appleton and freshman guard Travis Releford pushed the ball up the court after defensive rebounds and steals.
Collins scored 17 of his 22 points in the first half and did it in a variety of ways.
He went from one end of the floor to the other on a steal in the middle of the Jayhawks' 19-1 run.
Don't forget about Aldrich's partner in crime, Collins, either.
He got to the free-throw line twice and made all four attempts. He converted on his only three-point attempt of the game.
Releford scored 10 points and
Atingon for the first exhibition game where he fouled out in seven minutes, freshman forward Marcus Morris scored 11 points and grabbed six rebounds with only one foul.
Appleton added six.
He made five of his six shots. For most of the game, the Jayhawks couldn't miss.

"I hope every game we're going to make every shot," Self said. "That would be the best picture. Of course, I'm saying that."
