Jayhawks show balance in win
BY MIKE LAVIERI

A weight may have been lifted off of junior forward Marcus Morris' shoulders Tuesday night in Kansas' 90-59 victory over Emporia State.
With Sherron Collins, Cole Aldrich and Xavier Henry in the NBA, the layhawks lost about 50 percent of their scoring. Morris is the layhawks' top-returning scorer, scoring 12.8 points per game, and is expected to carry most of the offensive load this season.
Tuesday night was different
The layhawks had five players, including Morris, in double figures. Morris has received a lot of national media attention this season and has been named one of, if not the, key player for the Jayhawks this season.
In Tuesday night's game, Morris came off the bench and scored 12 points (13.3 percent of the Jayhawks points for those playing at home) in 19 minutes. A week before, he had 28 points in 22 minutes on Nov. 2 in Kansas' 92-62 win over Washburn. In that game, Morris contributed over 30 percent of the Jayhawks points.
In the Washburn game only two other players, juniors Markieff Morris (12 points) and Tyshawn Taylor (12 points), had double figure points.
The scoring was more balanced against Emporia State, with Markieff leading the way with 14 points.
The starting lineup on Tuesday was smaller than usual since
Emporia State's tallest player is 6-foot-7.
"Coach wanted to see if bigger guys could guard at different positions so he threw guys like Mario (Little) and Marcus (Morris) at the three to see if they could guard out there," Markleff said.
seit has full confidence in the five guys that are on the floor, no matter if it's the top five or the rest of the rotation.
"It doesn't make a difference who out there, the positions are interchangeable," Self said.
If Tuesday was any indication, media comparisons to the 2007- 2008 National Championship team may be true.
Self said the team isn't getting the production out of some of the players that he thinks they are capable of performing.
Most of the comparisons deal with the athleticism of both teams, but the National Championship team also didn't have a go-to scorer.
The scoring was balanced with four players — Brandon Rush (13.3 points per game), Mario Chalmers (12.8), Darrell Arthur (12.8) and Darnell Jackson (11.2) — scoring in double figures per game along with Sherron Collins scoring 9.3 points per game off the bench. Rush and Chalmers were most likely to make a play when the jayhawks needed it, as Marcus will be this year, but they weren't the lone options.
With the development of Markieff and Taylor, in particuiar, Marcus may not be either.
