AUSTIN, Texas
It was late in the first half when the scream came from the top of the student section, a Texas student who already knew what was coming next.
Kansas forward Perry Ellis received a pass on the wing, and before he could even start his move, the yell was loud enough it could be heard on the court.
“Retire!” the desperate fan exclaimed.
No, the “Perry Ellis is old” joke didn’t work. Then again, nothing was in No. 1 Kansas’ 86-56 thrashing of 23rd-ranked Texas on Monday night at Erwin Center.
