The last time the Kansas Jayhawks basketball team took the court, the Memphis Tigers gave the top rated team in the land all they could handle.

Thursday night at the cozy confines of Allen Fieldhouse, the Central Arkansas Bears did not.

The Jayhawks used a 21-0 run to jump out to a 29-5 lead early in the first half and never looked back.

Paced by senior leader Sherron Collins' seven points, eight players scored and 11 took the court in the first 20 minutes.

The second half was much of the same as everyone with a crimson jersey contributed to the 94-44 blow out victory. 

As Kansas coach Bill Self cleared the bench nine players ended up posting seven points or more.

Xavier Henry, Marcus Morris, Tyrel Reed and Collins led the team in scoring with 12 points each.

Freshman Thomas Robinson grabbed 13 rebounds and added eight points off the bench.

Maybe the brightest moment of the game was freshman point guard C.J. Henry getting first action of the season hitting two 3-point shots en route to scoring eight points in just nine minutes.
