Sophomore guard Rodney McGruder looks to the ground after a Jayhawk field goal on Saturday night's game in Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas defeated Kansas State in a blowout 90-66 victory.
Reed
The other four starters combined for 55 points on 21-of-28 shooting and all finished in double figures. Reed had an uncharacteristic bad shooting night, finishing just 1-of-6 from the field for five points. He also had more turnovers than assists for the second time in three games and the fourth time this season.
Tyrel Reed
"This was an extra special game, not because it was K-State, but because it was the first game that he's had an opportunity to really play for his mother."
Quote of the game

Robinson
In his first game with an "LR" patch on his left shoulder honoring his mother, Thomas Robinson had 15 points and six rebounds in the second half alone, finishing with 17 and nine in his best performance as a Jayhawk. Robinson had struggled since conference play began, but he was nothing short of stellar against Kansas State.
