In fact, at the end of that game against the Vols, he started to take over, but it wasn't quite enough. Since then, he's really begun to assert himself, culminating in his recent amazing play.
I'm having trouble believing that KU will be able to stop Memphis. Westbrook is a great defender, and both Rose and CDR gave him fits. Collison, who's a quick and tough defender, was dominated. Should be interesting to watch.

You are having a tough time believing that KU will be able to stop Memphis? Why is that? I'm having a hard time believing Memphis will be able to slow down Kansas. Not only does Kansas score more points per game than Memphis, they are third in the nation in field goal % defense, while allowing less points a game than Memphis too. O ya, by the way we held the top scoring offense to 66 points.
All this talk about KANSAS needing to slow down and stop Memphis is silly. Both teams play a fast paced style of basketball.
