FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Perry Ellis had 23 points and 10 rebounds as No. 7 Kansas started the second half of the Big 12 Conference schedule with a 75-56 victory at TCU on Saturday.
The Jayhawks (19-4, 7-3 Big 12) had lost their previous three conference road games. They never trailed after scoring the game’s first seven points.
With the quick start and in a road arena about half-filled with their own fans, the Jayhawks won for the 12th time in 13 games against TCU (10-13, 1-9). The Horned Frogs’ only victory in the series came exactly three years ago Saturday, when they won in the Big 12 for the first time.
Devonte Graham added 15 points for the Jayhawks, who shot 50 percent from the field (29 of 58) and had a 46-25 rebounding advantage.
Brandon Parrish and JD Miller each had 13 points for TCU (10-13, 1-9).
