LAWRENCE — Perry Ellis set a goal to be faster this season, and through one game, an offseason worth of work seems to have paid off.
The Kansas senior was his efficient self Wednesday, scoring 22 points on 8-for-12 shooting in KU’s 89-66 preseason victory over Pittsburg State at Allen Fieldhouse.
“I feel so much faster,” Ellis said. “I’m running the floor so well right now. My endurance is up. My body’s feeling real great.”
Ellis worked with strength coach Andrea Hudy to become leaner over the summer.
“It was something I wanted to do,” Ellis said.
