Kansas coach Bill Self recalled a stretch last year when forward Perry Ellis killed it. It was late in the season, a two-week period when Ellis averaged 23.5 points and shot 66 percent from the field.
“All-America, first-team type dominant, right before he got hurt,” Self said.
A knee injury ended the run and slowed Ellis. A year later, Ellis is on a similar tear, only this one started earlier and has lasted longer.
Over the past six games, Ellis is averaging 20.3 points and shooting 63 percent from the field, increasing his season totals to 16.
