TO FINISH
Sherron Collins has made a big impact on the Kansas basketball program since he arrived on campus three years ago
Feb.23,2009 Against nationally ranked Oklahoma, Collins simply took over down the stretch. He scored 22 of his 26 points in the second half, lifting Kansas into sole possession of first place in the Big 12.
March 12, 2009
Collins air-balled a potential game-tying three with 26 seconds left in a loss against Baylor in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 tournament.
March. 27, 2009 In Collins' first season as Kansas' unquestioned leader, any hopes of a repeat National Championship was dashed by Michigan State in the Elite Eight. Collins was out-dueted by Kalin Lucas in the game's final minutes, and Collins fouled Lucas on the game-winning bucket.
Jan.11,2010 With Cornell giving Kansas all it could handle in the Fieldhouse, No.4 once again put the team on his back. Collins drained a career high 33 points, including nine straight late in the game, to secure the Jayhawk victory.
Jan. 30, 2010 After suffering from back spasms all game in Manhattan, Collins herociously returned to lead Kansas to an overtime victory. With nine seconds left, Collins drove hard to the bucket and floated the game-winner off the window to sink Kansas State's upset bid.
Feb.27,2010
In a game that could have sealed Kansas' outright claim on the Big 12 title, Kansas suffered a 85-77 defeat at Oklahoma State. The Jayhawks trailed by as many as 19 and never really threatened the Cowboys. Despite scoring 22 points, Collins shouldered the blame:"I think Coach did a great job preparing us for it. I just didn't have my team ready at the time. I'll take it."
Feb.15,2010
Collins' second child, Sharee' Monea Collins, was born before the start of the contest at Texas A&M. Collins, presumably playing with a distant mind, finished the game a meager 2-of-9 shooting with 5 turnovers.
Feb. 22, 2010 Kisses and hoists his fourth Big 12 regular season championship trophy after No. 1 Kansas trounced Oklahoma 81-68 on Big Monday.
