Kansas forward Perry Ellis lofts a shot over TCU forward JD Miller (15) during the second half, Saturday, Jan. 16, 2016 at Allen Fieldhouse.

**1 – Perry Ellis:** Had to sit because of foul trouble and when he sits, the Kansas offense suffers. Played 25 minutes and totaled 10 points, nine rebounds, three blocked shots and a steal. Energized the team with an explosive dunk in traffic.

**2 – Cheick Diallo:** Played an extremely active 21 minutes, time enough to produce nine points, nine rebounds and five blocked shots.

**3 – Wayne Selden:** Made some terrific passes, not all of which were converted. Totaled 11 points, four boards, three assists and a steal and turned it over twice. Shot lacked normal loft and made just 1 of 4 three-pointers.

**4 – Devonte Graham:** Scored all 10 of his points in the first 14 minutes and finished with six assists and two turnovers.

**5 – Frank Mason:** Couldn’t get his shot to drop and made just 3 of 10 from the field, 0 of 3 from three-point range. Committed just one turnover in 36 minutes and had six rebounds and four assists. Winced often from pain in padded left eblow.

**6 – Carlton Bragg:** Scored 8 of his 10 points and had all four of his rebounds in an impressive first half after Perry Ellis went to the bench with two fouls. His soft shooting touch is evident when he gets favorable bounces from the rim, which happened on two jumpers.

**7 – Svi Mykhailiuk:** Had an eye-popping spin move in the lane on his way to a bucket and finished with seven points in 13 minutes. Made just 1 of 5 three-point shots.

**8 – Hunter Mickelson:** Failed to convert on terrific pass from Selden, but made a nice pass himself during his five scoreless minutes.

**9 – Jamari Traylor:** Had four rebounds in eight scoreless minutes, his day ending when he took an inadvertent shot to the eye from Diallo.

**10 – Brannen Greene:** Due to catch fire one of these days. Took just two shots, both three-pointers, and made one.

**11 – Landen Lucas:** Rough five minutes.

**12 – Lagerald Vick:** Trillion club.
