Jayhawks run past the Tigers

Wednesday, March 10, 2010

The Jayhawks made quick work of the Missouri Tigers in a 77-56 beat-down Saturday. Kansas finished the season 29-2 with a conference record of 15-1. It won the talented Big 12 conference by four games after Kansas State fell at home to Iowa State.

It was a sloppy first half. The starting guards for Kansas — Tyshawn Taylor, Sherron Collins and Xavier Henry — combined for no points in the first 18 minutes.

But the strong play of the Kansas big men helped the Jayhawks survive the early going.

With the guards unable to make a shot and the team trailing 17-10 early in the first half, Markieff Morris had six straight points. A few minutes later, his brother Marcus Morris had seven straight points of his own.

The twins contributed to a 30-7 run and the Jayhawks ended the half with 16 straight points to make the lead 40-24. Marcus and Markieff finished with a combined 18 points and 15 rebounds.

Next, the Jayhawks will act as the No.1 seed in the Big 12 Tournament and will play on Thursday at 11:30 a.m. against the winner of the game between the No. 8 and No. 9 seeds. The tournament will be held at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo.
