The high/low

Highs

Sean Haluska

Haluska, the younger brother of former University of Iowa basketball player Adam Haluska, made the most of his six minutes on the Allen Fieldhouse floor. Haluska played like the kid at the Rec Center who nobody wants guarding him. Given his scrappiness, there is no doubt the next time these teams meet, Haluska and Chase Buford will battle it out for the hustle champion of the Big 12.

Time Capsule

In-game entertainment can be hit-or-miss at sporting events. Example No. 1: The Smile Cam at Allen Fieldhouse. The place goes deathly silent during this awkward two minutes. But the people behind the in-game entertainment have hit a grand slam with the Time Capsule segment. Fans get a great song to listen to and classic Jayhawk highlights ­— a great combination.

Wesley Johnson

The Cyclone sophomore finished with 21 points and showed signs that he might be one of the best players in the conference as soon as next season. Of course, that might be a low if you’re a Jayhawk fan.

Lows

Aldrich gets posterized

Cole Aldrich is only playing 8.5 minutes per game. And while the freshman has been good for six blocked shots already this season, he whiffed on Wednesday night. Iowa State senior Rahshon Clark dunked on Aldrich — hard — in the second half.

Teahan goes scoreless

Fans chanted freshman Conner Teahan’s name and then exploded when he checked into the game. But Teahan went scoreless, missing his only jumpshot.

Iowa State’s guards

Iowa State scored 59 points against Kansas. Fifty-five of those points came from players over 6-feet-6.
