Kansas avenges previous loss
Kansas didn't even try to downplay the revenge factor — it knew that it helped in a 84-66 rout of the DePaul Blue Demons.
A year ago, DePaul upset Kansas in Chicago. But that wasn't about to happen in Allen Fieldhouse — not if senior center Sasha Kaun had anything to say about it.
Kaun, who had been demoted to a reserve just three games before, turned in his best game of the young season with 15 points and five rebounds.
"I just had to regroup and play strong," Kaun said. "That was the big thing."
Leading Scorer — Sasha Kaun (15)
Leading Rebounder — Mario Chalmers (9)
He was also the key contributor in a 24-1 Kansas run late in the first half that put the game away. Sophomore guard Sherron Collins also returned from a foot injury two weeks ahead of schedule and scored six points.

Rush makes season start
Kansas coach Bill Self said he didn't plan it that way, but the story was almost too good to be true Dec. 15.
Junior guard Brandon Rush made his first start of the season in front of a hometown crowd in Kansas City, Mo. The Jayhawks christened the brand-new Sprint Center with an 88-51 victory against the Ohio Bobcats.
Kansas City's new downtown arena received fabulous reviews from all the players, who said it was a major upgrade from
Kemper Arena.
As for the game, it was never in doubt. Rush responded to the starting role by scoring 11 points in the opening 10 minutes and hit three three-pointers. Senior guard Russell Robinson dished out a career-high 11 assists.
"It just felt good to come here, get a win against good competition and just be home," Rush said.
