LAWRENCE (AP) — Rick Barnes was asked what made Kansas forward Perry Ellis so difficult to contain, and the Texas coach twice pointed out the way his senior instincts have developed.Nobody had the heart to tell Barnes that he’ll still be dealing with Ellis next season.The junior poured in 28 points while ripping down 13 rebounds in a brilliant performance on Saturday, leading the eighth-ranked Jayhawks to a 69-64 victory over the Longhorns.“He’s been around, played some games,” Barnes said. “You have to be impressed.”Ellis has gone over 20 points each of his last three games, moving the Jayhawks (23-6, 12-4) within striking distance of an 11th straight Big 12 title. They are a game clear of second-place Oklahoma with only games left against West Virginia and the Sooners.“We rode Perry as hard as we’ve ever ridden him and he played great,” Kansas coach Bill Self said.
