Rodrick Stewart

Stewart’s minutes diminished after Sherron Collins and Brandon Rush returned from injury. But with Darrell Arthur in foul trouble, Stewart played seven productive minutes in the first half and did a nice job guarding Missouri’s 6-foot-8 junior forward DeMarre Carroll.

Orange Bowl trophy presentation

Now, that’s how you take a jab at Missouri. Allen Fieldhouse absolutely exploded during Monday night’s halftime trophy ceremony.

Easy on the Rims

Darrell Arthur practically tore the goal off the backboard in the opening minutes. The dunk didn’t ignite a huge run, but it did set the tone for the rest of the night.

KAUN!

The scene from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan featuring William Shatner yelling “Khan” multiple times has become a fan-favorite at Allen Fieldhouse.

Missouri’s box outs

Kansas terrorized Missouri on the boards. The Jayhawks had seven offensive rebounds alone in the first half.

Arthur’s foul trouble

For the second time in three games, Arthur played limited minutes because of foul trouble. The sophomore forward played 17 minutes during last week’s loss to K-State, and picked up three fouls in two minutes during the first half against Missouri.

Orange T-shirts

The idea was good in theory: Wear orange shirts to rub Kansas’ Orange Bowl victory in the face of Missouri fans. But the final result just didn’t look right. The scattered bunches of orange shirts in the student section made it look like a bunch of Oklahoma State fans just transferred to Kansas.
