Kansas' Balance Causing Hoop Headaches For Foes

November 26, 2009 11:46 a.m. EST

Kansas boasts two of the top guards in the country in Xavier Henry and Sherron Collins, and the rest of the Jayhawks lineup is strong, too.

Henry and Collins combined for 28 points and nine assists in Wednesday's 89-59 romp of Oakland.

Although Cole Aldrich shot poorly, connecting on just 2 of 10 shots, he contributed nine rebounds and three blocked shots.

Kansas' defense has shined this far this season, holding Oakland to just 33.3 percent shooting from the field.

The Jayhawks, tops in the nation in at least one poll, are 4-0 after holding Central Arkansas to 44 points and edding Memphis 57-55.

Kansas can also pile up the points, as it did in a 101-65 rout of Long Island's Hofstra in a season-opening win November 13.

Henry leads the way in scoring, at 17.3 points per game, and Collins follows at 14 a contest.

Forward Marcus Morris chips in with 12.5 per game, which Aldrich nets 10 and grabs over eight rebounds an outing.
