LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Perry Ellis had 18 points and nine rebounds while leading four players in double-figures scoring, and second-ranked Kansas buried Montana with a big second-half run for an 88-46 victory Saturday.
Brannen Greene and Wayne Selden added 11 points apiece, and Svi Mykhailiuk finished with 10 for the Jayhawks (9-1), who led by 20 at halftime before coasting to their eighth straight win.
The victory in the Jayhawks’ first game at Allen Fieldhouse in 10 days was also their 29th in a row at their venerable arena. That’s the seventh-best streak in school history.
Brandon Gfeller led the Griz (4-6) with 12 points in the first meeting between the schools since Dec. 1, 1962. But unlike that game, when Montana hung around in a close defeat, the Jayhawks made sure their hot shooting and suffocating defense would have this one over by halftime.
