Little, Releford shine off the bench in win

Two of Kansas' premier bench players, after missing substantial playing time this season, showed why they deserve playing time in Kansas' 103-86 victory against Missouri.
Senior guard Mario Little, who was suspended six games in December and January, played his best game since his return. He had a career-high 17 points on 7-of-9 shooting. Sophomore Travis Reileford, who missed five games after injuring his ankle against Michigan on Jan. 9, scored 10 points on 4-5 shooting. Coach Bill Self said Reileford — who has had the sprain for almost a month — still is not 100 percent.
percent.
Releford hadn't scored in double figures since a 99-52 victory against UMKC on Jan. 5. He scored 13 points in that game. For Little, he last scored double digits six games ago on Jan. 17 in a 85-65 victory at Baylor. Little scored 10 points in that game in only six minutes of play.
"Tonight he was efficient," Self said. "There are times where he is very efficient and there are days where he is very offensive in how aggressive he can be or how he want, to score."
Missouri was not ready for the shooting performance from the two. Freshman guard Phil Pressey said he had been watching film of the two the past couple of days, but was surprised with some of the shots they were hitting, like Little's step-back three-pointer with time about to expire on the shot clock.
Self said Little is going to give himself a chance to score because he's going to shoot as soon as he touches the ball. Self
said Little was in a rhythm and bailed the team out a few times.
With the amount of time Releford has missed he said he didn't think he had anything to prove. Releford said he talked to coach Danny Manning going into the second half and he told Releford to be patient.
Releford also bailed the team out with seconds remaining in the first half. He pump faked a three-point shot that got his man in the air and he then buried a 15-foot jumper to widen the halftime lead to four.
"I made that shot going into halftime and I came into the second half with a lot of confidence." Releford said.

crack.
"I know he can shoot, he's a D-1 basketball player, but it just kind of surprised us in the game plan," Pressey said of little. "He played well. Seven-for-nine, that's a good game for anybody in this conference."
Junior center Markieff Morris shoots over Missouri forward Ricardo Ratliffe during the first half. Morris finished with 16 points and led the team with three blocks.
Tiger coach Mike Anderson thought both Little and Releford played well and "were a big difference in the game."
