Elmarko Jackson - Adds four steals off bench Jackson notched one point (1-2 FT), one assist and four steals across 21 minutes during Saturday's 64-61 victory over Baylor.
Impact For the second time in four games, Jackson earned 20-plus minutes as he helped to fill minutes vacated due to the absence of Kevin McCullar. Unlike McCullar's previous absence, Jackson did not earn the start--that honor belonged to Nicolas Timberlake--but Jackson did provide a quality defensive effort with four steals. Jackson had started the first 15 games but has seen his role diminish since losing the starting job to talented freshman Johnny Furphy, seeing single-digits in playing time four times in the nine games since Furphy entered the starting lineup.

Jamari McDowell - Out with illness McDowell will miss Saturday's game against Baylor due to an illness, Gary Bedore of The Kansas City Star reports.
Impact McDowell also missed last Monday's loss against Kansas State, which was likely due to an unspecified ailment that will keep him sidelined Saturday. The 6-foot-4 freshman has appeared in 22 games off the bench this season, though he's averaging just 1.6 points and 1.1 rebounds across 5.8 minutes per game. Therefore, his absence shouldn't impact too much during Saturday's contest. McDowell's next chance to play will come this Monday at Texas Tech.

Nicolas Timberlake - First start this year Timberlake will start in Kansas' matchup against Baylor for Kevin McCullar (knee), Shreyas Laddha of The Kansas City Star reports.
Impact Timberlake will get his first start in his first year at Kansas after transferring from Towson. The senior guard averages 3.4 points and 1.5 rebounds off the bench, but should be relied on to exceed these averages by head coach Bill Self as a starter against the Bears
FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin McCullar - Officially out Saturday McCullar (knee) is out for Saturday's matchup against Baylor, Adam Zagoria of NJ.com reports.
Impact McCullar has only missed one game so far due to the same, nagging knee injury, but won't be able to suit up against the Bears Saturday. The team's leading scorer averages 19.5 points, 6.4 rebounds and 4.6 assists on 35.4 minutes per game this year, and will likely be missed on the offensive and defensive side of the ball for the Jayhawks against a tough conference opponent. The senior forward's next chance to return to action will be Monday at Texas Tech.
