MORNING BREW
Collins makes it into top 10
On Monday against Texas, Sherron Collins scored his 1,704th point as a Jayhawk and moved to 10th all-time on the Kansas career scoring list.
The career scoring list now looks like this:
Every one of those players except Langford and Collins has his jersey retired in Allen Fieldhouse. Only Collins, Manning and Lovelle have won national championships.
| Player | (Years at KU) Points |
| :--- | :--- |
| 1. Danny Manning | (1985-88) 2,951 |
| 2. Nick Collison | (2000-03) 1,921 |
| 3. Raef LaFrentz | (1995-98) 2,066 |
| 4. Clyde Lovellette | (1950-52) 1,979 |
| 5. Darnell Valentine | (1978-81) 1,821 |
| 6. Keith Langford | (2002-05) 1,812 |
| 7. Paul Pierce | (1996-98) 1,768 |
| 8. Dave Robisch | (1969-71) 1,754 |
| 9. Kirk Hinrich | (2000-03) 1,753 |
| 10. Sherron Collins | (2007-now) 1,704 |
For Collins to catch Manning by the end of the regular season, Collins would need to average 178.14 points per game. Yes, Manning was that great, and no, he will never be caught. Anyone who is capable of coming close to that number will leave early for the NBA.
A hundred years from now, Manning will still be the career leading scorer. Because he's an assistant coach, just imagine how lucky you are that you're still able to see him as part of the Kansas program.
Appreciating Collins' historical

greatness is also something that should not be taken for granted.
Kansas has seven games left in the regular season. If the Jayhawks make it to the Big 12 Tournament championship, they will have played three additional games. If they play in the National Championship that would be an extra six games, so at most Kansas will play 16 more games this season.
If over those 16 games Collins averages 24.6 points, he will tie for second place with Nick Collison.
If he averages 22.6 points, he will tie for third place with Raef LaFrentz.
if he averages 17.2 points, he will tie for fourth place with Clide Lovette.
Even if the Jayhawks played only one conference tournament game and one NCAA tournament game, they still have nine guaranteed games left this season.
For Collins to crack the top five in career scoring, he would need to average 13 points per game over those nine games.
Now assume Kansas makes it to the Big 12 Tournament championship and
then makes it to the Elite Eight of the NCAA tournament. That would be 13 more games, and over those 13 games Collins would need to only average nine points per game to be the fifth leading scorer in Kansas history.
Catching Lovellette, LaFrentz, Collison and Manning would be nice, but are they the names that really matter in regards to Collins' pursuit of all-time greatness?
They all played as forwards or centers.
Barring injury, Collins will pass Valentine and be the highest scoring guard in Kansas history. He's already the only guard in the top 10 with a national championship.
When will that happen though? Collins is averaging 15.6 points per game.
If Collins averages 16.7 points per game, about a point more than his season average, the rest of the regular season, he will move into fifth place all-time March 6 at Missouri.

Dallas palace preps for All-Star game crowd
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
ARLINGTON. Texas — When it comes to building the playing surface for an NBA All-Star game, the process is old hat for Doug Hamar.
Hamar, the president and CEO of Horner Sports Flooring
out of Dollar Bay, Mich., has built the floor for the previous 26 NBA All-Star games. Now he's added another playing surface to his vast collection. His company is the one that built the court for Sunday's NBA All-Star Game, which will be played at Cowboys Stadium.
The court, which was put down Tuesday night, consists of 350 pieces of maple 4 feet by 8 feet that are 2 inches thick.
A standing-room-only crowd in the neighborhood of 90,000 is expected to attend Sunday's game. And Brett Daniels wants everyone to know that the All-Star Game is not serving as a trial run for the Super Bowl,
It took a crew of eight nearly five hours to install the floor, which is 29 inches off the ground on a raised platform.
which will be held in this same venue next year.
"There's certainly going to be things we can learn from (the All-Star Game)," said Daniels, the director of corporate communications for the Dallas Cowboys.
"But just to consider that we're going to have the largest crowd to ever witness a basketball game in the history of mankind, I wouldn't call that much of a dress rehearsal."
