Bruce's Blog: January 7

For What it’s Worth on January 7 -- Ben McLemore gets the highlights, but Jeff Withey should be getting the high fives from KU fans.   The senior center is averaging  14 points, 8 rebounds and 5 blocks a game.  Those are numbers, should they continue, that will garner him All-American consideration.  His 11 rebounds and 9 blocks had everything to do with Kansas’ narrow win over Temple on Sunday.  And what about a double-double from Kevin Young? Talk about a secret weapon, the guy might start showing up on opposing team’s scouting reports.  You have to love what Bill Self gets out of his team, I’ve said before—few teams improve as much during the season as Kansas.
