The High/Low

Highs

Baylor’s guards

Junior Curtis Jerrells scored 30 points and Baylor’s four other guards combined for 79 points. The left-handed Jerrells was superb throughout, doing his best Acie Law IV impersonation. Freshman LaceDarius Dunn added 23 points.

Tweety Carter’s Hair

Carter’s parents got it right. The Baylor sophomore just looks like a “Tweety.” Carter’s braids made him look like a young Don Cheadle playing the role of Ice Tray in the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air television show.

Gov. Kathleen Sebelius

Kansas governor Kathleen Sebelius was in Allen Fieldhouse for the Baylor game. The rumor that Sebelius could be Barack Obama’s running mate in the November presidential election could be pure speculation, but with Sebelius’s presence in the fieldhouse, she’d probably have the vote of Jayhawk basketball fans.

Lows

Aaron Bruce

What happened to Bruce? The Baylor senior guard was the Big 12 Freshman of the Year three years ago. Now, Bruce just seems uncomfortable playing with the rest of the Baylor team. Brandon Rush held Bruce to seven points on 2-of-7 shooting.

Kansas’ three-point shooting

It may be nitpicking – after all, the Jayhawks scored 100 points – but Kansas still laid a bagel from three-point range, shooting 0-of-9.

Baylor’s frontcourt

The Bears’ guards dazzled, but their frontcourt was a dud. Kevin Rogers, Josh Lomers and Mamadou Diene scored 11 points combined.
