Kansas guard Wayne Selden Jr. (1), forward Perry Ellis, center, and guard Kelly Oubre Jr. celebrate with Kansas forward Landen Lucas (33) after Lucas took a charge from Baylor forward Rico Gathers (2) during the second half, Saturday, Feb. 14, 2015 at Allen Fieldhouse.

The voters couldn’t quite make up their minds this week, so Big 12 Player of the Week honors were split between Oklahoma State senior forward Le’Bryan Nash and Kansas junior forward Perry Ellis.

Ellis averaged 16.0 points and 7.5 rebounds as the Jayhawks won at Texas Tech and defeated Baylor in Allen Fieldhouse this past week.

The junior from Wichita shot 52.2 percent from the field and 87.5 percent from the free-throw line.

Eliis opened the week by just missing a double-double, with 14 points and nine boards at Tech. He then tied for the game-high in scoring with 18 points against the Bears.

OSU’s Nash averaged 20.5 points and 6.0 rebounds as the Cowboys won at Baylor and lost at TCU.
