MEN'S BASKETBALL RECAP

Kansas, led by Aldrich, wins easily
Cole Aldrich, with his family in attendance, made a brief return to 2008-2009 form as the Jayhawks easily put away an undermanned, overmatched Iowa State team. 84-61.
Marcus Morris, Markieff Morris and Thomas Robinson all picked up two fouls in the first half, forcing Bill Self to run out a giant lineup featuring Aldrich and 7-foot freshman Jeff Withey. Withey posted career highs with eight points and five rebounds in emergency relief.
Aldrich overpowered Iowa State's Justin Hamilton, going for a team-high 19 points, along with 12 rebounds, despite a revolving door of players alongside him at power forward.
The success of the posts was contradicted by a slew of unspectacular play from the guards. Henry finished with just four points and two rebounds and played only five minutes of the second half.
