Perry Ellis played 38 minutes for Kansas on Tuesday night and had one rebound.
Before you indict the 6-foot-8 Ellis for a slothful performance on the board, there is a reason for his meager total. Junior center Landen Lucas got all the rebounds.
Sixteen, to be precise. A tick below half of KU’s total of 33.
On a night when five KU players scored in double figures, led by Ellis’s 21, it was Lucas who gets the biggest gold star after KU’s 75-65 win over West Virginia.
Ellis, who had been on a rebounding roll with 24 in the previous three games, denied Lucas was hogging the boards.
