without playmakers Raef LaFrentz and Paul Pierce around this season, questions arose as to who would step into the leadership role.
After the first few games, Ryan Robertson has stepped admirably into that position.

Saturday night, the 6-4 senior scored a career-high 21 points on 6-of-9 shooting and hit four of six three-point shots against Fort Hays State University.
"I guess you could say I shot the lights out," Robertson said.
Allen Field House had lighting problems during the game, causing the scoreboard to go out on two different occasions.
Robertson scored 15 of his 21 points in the first half.
"Icredit my success tonight to my teammates," Robertson said. "They did a great job of finding me in the zone. Anytime a scorer gets off to a good start, it's good for their confidence, and it gets things going early."
Robertson also contributed in other ways. In 28 minutes, he had five assists, two blocked shots and no turnovers.
Coach Roy Williams pointed
"His performance was good, not just shooting but also defensively," Williams said. "He also helped lead the younger players, keeping everyone where they were supposed to be going."
Robertson opened the second half with a three-pointer, which gave the Jayhawks a 29-point lead at 58-29.
He broke his single-game scoring high when he hit all three free throws after being fouled by Chris Danner.
to Robertson's leadership as another key point in the game.
The addition of freshman Jeff
Boschee at point guard has allowed Robertson more time as shooting guard this season.
As a point guard, you have to create the shot off the dribble," Robertson said. "As you all know, I am better at the catch and shoot. Boschee has helped me with my role because he has to worry about calling the plays, and I can concentrate on other things like making shots and defense."
From here, the Jayhawks have to look ahead to a tough stretch of games during which they will play UNLV, Kentucky and Pepperdine.

Tigers stomp Kansas volleyball
Jayhawks have to make up for losses during next games
by Laura Bokenkroger
Kansan sportswriter
The fact that the Kansas volleyball team lost to Missouri Friday means that it will have to win both of its last two matches to finish the season with a winning record.
The win ended a six-match losing streak, and coach Ray Bechard said that he was glad that the Jayhawks finally found a way to win.
When the 15-15 Jayhawks take the court at home against No. 24 Texas Tech next Friday, they will have to play better than they did last weekend. After falling to Missouri in Columbia, Mo., last Friday three games to one, they narrowly pulled out a five-game win at Iowa State on Saturday.
"It was a pretty remarkable match," Bechard said. "We survived tonight."
K an s as extended a match to five games for only the second time this season against Iowa State (13-15, 15-5, 7-15, 15-13 and 15-9). After battling back from an 11-4 deficit and winning the fourth game, the Jayhawks hed the momentum to win the fifth game.
But the Jayhawks couldn't overcome Missouri in the teams' second meeting this season. The Tigers rallied to win three consecutive games after dropping the first one (15-11, 11-15, 5-15 and 11-15). Bechard said that Missouri's serving made the difference in the loss.
"Missouri had 15 aces on the match, while we just had eight," Bechard said. "That's not going to allow you to win a volleyball match."
Outside hitter Moira Donovan led the Jayhawks against Missouri with 20 kills, followed by middle blocker Amanda Reves who posted 18. Setter Laura Rohde contributed 10 kills and 64 assists.
Next weekend, the Jayhawks put a winning season on the line at home Friday and Saturday. It will be announced Wednesday if they will play in the new Horsej Family Athletics Center.
