The game: Rush returns six months after a torn anterior cruciate ligament sidetracks his NBA Draft plans.
The quote: "I was a little nervous," Rush said. "I haven't been on the court for a while, except for practice. I was a little nervous, but I wasn't worried about my knee at all."

Game 7, Dec. 2
The game: Chalmers hits a long three-point shot with 20 seconds to play, sealing the victory. USC plays a low-possession game in the first half, holding KU to 25 points, but the Jayhawks speed up the tempo and watch USC freshman phenom O.J. Mayo take some ill-advised shots at ill-advised times. Twenty-nine NBA scouts are in attendance.
The quote: "We never had the game totally under control, but we're up eight with three minutes left -- we're supposed to put that game away," Self said. "We certainly made it entertaining for the fans, but that shouldn't happen with a veteran ballclub. Hopefully that won't happen again."

Game 8, Dec. 5
The game: Kansas decides to work on its inside game -- the Jayhawks' first 10 shots are in the lane. Amazingly with 85 points, only two Hawks are in double figures.
The quote: "I made sure my early shots were easy ones," Darrell Arthur said. "I wasn't going to force anything."

Game 11, Dec. 18
The game: The Jayhawks lead by 13 in the first half but can't knock out Tech. KU allows the Yellow Jackets to stay in the game, including a last possession to tie the score, but Collins swipes a loose ball and his layup clinches it. Robinson has 17 points and four assists as the Jayhawks win the first of two ACC road games.
The quote: "Hopefully it's not a characteristic that we don't finish," Self said.

Game 15, Jan. 8
The game: The Jayhawks roll to their 15th victory, but Rush has an unremarkable nine points.

Game 18, Jan. 19
The game: KU avoided the upset bug and won with defense and rebounding. The Jayhawks shot a horrid 40 percent, including a 2-of-14 night from Rush. But he had nine boards, too. KU misses 17 free throws but Missouri misses 44 field-goal attempts, shooting 38 percent.
The quote: "We did some bonehead things, but it's nice to win when you're not at your best offensively," Self said.
