Oh, Perry Ellis faces... how much fun they are to behold.

Longhorns wonder about late no-call | KUsports.com
“I wanted to know if that was a (foul) because from where I was sitting I thought it was,” said Barnes of Taylor's strong take that missed and failed to draw a whistle. “Jay Bilas walked right up to me and said, 'Rick, he got fouled.' I don't know what you guys saw who were sitting right there. I haven't seen it. I'm just quoting Jay Bilas.”
The Day After: Out-toughing Texas | Tale of the Tait | KUsports.com
That was by far the toughest I've seen this Kansas team look and the hardest I've seen them compete. The officiating was inconsistent and non-existent at times, in both directions, and, for the most part, instead of whining about the whistles or lack thereof, KU simply kept playing. Despite being without one of their bigger bodies, they battled Texas' big front line for everything they got and often did so with smaller, quicker perimeter players mixing it up.
Since Valentine's Day, Ellis, the 6-foot-8 junior, has accounted for 32.1 percent of KU's total points and 35.2 percent of all the Jayhawks' field-goal makes, all while shooting .575 (42 for 73) from the floor. Over the past nine tilts, his average line looks like this: 18.7 points, 8.5 rebounds -- and all without a post partner of any consistency to speak of, all as pretty much the only reliable scoring option down low.
Column: Big 12 could have 5 champs | KUsports.com
The final week of the Big 12 men’s basketball season begins with the chance that the conference that markets itself with the slogan “one true champion” could crown five true champions. (Mr. Ed says: Thanks, Keegan, but our very own PenHawk already figured this out. Either you're late to the party or you read RCT.)
Time frame for Cliff Alexander's return remains a mystery | Tale of the Tait | KUsports.com
Following Saturday's game, KU coach Bill Self admitted to having little knowledge about the situation — though it seems highly likely that Self has learned a ton more in the 24 hours since first hearing about it — but Self also made it clear that he did not believe the issue had anything to do with something the school, the coaches or the basketball program had done wrong.

Big 12 spring battle spotlight: Kansas CBs - Big 12 Blog - ESPN
The cornerback spot was the strongest position on Kansas' defense a year ago. Heading into David Beaty’s first season in charge in 2015, Kansas will need to replace a pair of productive senior cornerbacks, particularly if its defense is going to be as aggressive as Beaty would like to see.

Illegal man downfield penalty is misguided, some coaches say - ESPN
The current rule prohibits offensive linemen from drifting more than 3 yards past the line of scrimmage on pass plays unless a screen pass is caught behind the line of scrimmage. The new rule would make it a penalty if a lineman is or has been beyond 1 yard of the line of scrimmage when the ball is released, which matches the NFL rule. Gus Malzahn and others think it's an overreaction to rewrite the rule simply because of what he said were some higher-profile plays that might have been missed by officials last season.

Tekele Cotton is Wichita State's 'other' guy -- and completely fine with it - CBSSports.com
Yes, Cotton is widely regarded as a terrific perimeter defender and amazing dunker. But he's always been in the shadows of at least two other Shockers -- whether it's Joe Ragland and Garrett Stutz, Cleanthony Early and Carl Hall or Ron Baker and Fred VanVleet. Cotton has never been better than fourth in points per game, never been the center of anything. And yet he's won more games in a Wichita State uniform than anybody in history, and he's about to become the only Shocker to ever compete in four NCAA Tournaments.
