Collins, Chalmers, Rush and Robinson Are Outplaying The Memphis Backcourt - FanHouse - AOL Sports Blog

All the talk leading up to this game was about how tough Derrick Rose and Chris Douglas-Roberts were for other teams to matchup with, but the Kansas guards are really taking it to them on both ends of the court. Robinson and Collins are doing a great job keeping Rose out of the lane, slowing down the Memphis offense and turning him over. Chalmers has played terrific help defense and his quick hands are causing all sorts of problems. CDR had a great first half, but Rush is a huge reason why Kansas is hammering the Tigers on the glass and is scoring himself.

At the beginning of the year most pundits tabbed the KU backcourt as the best in the country, and right now they are living up to that billing. Tough, terrific defensively and willing to share the ball or score themselves, it's hard to imagine a better quartet of guards this season.
