LOUISVILLE, Ky.
Some with shortsightedness will judge the legacy of Kansas senior Perry Ellis differently now, unfortunately.
They’ll get caught up in his worst game that contributed to a bad game for KU that got the Jayhawks bounced from the NCAA Tournament on Saturday night in a 64-59 loss to Villanova in the South Regional final.
The 6-foot-8 Ellis, a model of consistency all season, scored four points, had four first-half turnovers and was mostly invisible down the stretch as the Jayhawks were dropping a game that could have gotten them to the Final Four.
There’s blame to go around, but much of it will be dropped into the lap of Ellis.
