Kansas forward Perry Ellis (34) catches a pass inside before Iowa State guard Deonte Burton (30) during the second half, Monday, Jan. 25, 2016 at Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa.

**1 – Perry Ellis:** Was matching Georges Niang shot for shot for a stretch, and was the one Jayhawk whose performance never dropped off when the Cyclones took control of the game. Shot 6 of 10 from the field in the second half, when the rest of the team shot 4 of 15. Scored a game-high 23 points and played hard for 36 minutes.

**2 – Brannen Greene:** Contributed nine points, four rebounds and three assists in 24 minutes. Made 2 of 4 three-pointers (was slapped on the side of the hand on one of his misses without drawing a whistle) and made Iowa State account for his whereabouts at all times.

**3 – Frank Mason III:** Looked like his old self in the first half, driving hard to the hoop, but didn’t do a good job of securing the ball in the second half. Finished with 16 points, six rebounds, three assists and six turnovers.

**4 – Devonté Graham:** His enthusiasm is a plus. Now it’s time for him to take the next step and show some tough love to teammates when they deserve to hear it. Finished with seven points, four rebounds and four assists.

**5 – Landen Lucas:** Two things should never come as a surprise about Landen Lucas: First, he can’t score. Second, he sure can rebound. Had two points and nine rebounds, meaning that in the last two games he has two points and 19 rebounds.

**6 – Wayne Selden Jr.**: Made just 1 of 6 three-pointers and had just two rebounds and one assist. Has not been as good a player in Big 12 action as in non-conference games.

**7 – Carlton Bragg:** Had two points, two rebounds and a turnover in six minutes.

**8 – Jamari Traylor:** Picked up two quick fouls and wasn’t a factor for the rest of the night.

**9 – Cheick Diallo:** Four minutes, zeroes across the board.

**10 – Svi Mykhailiuk:** Trillion-club entry.

**11 – Lagerald Vick:** Played one minute and took his requisite three-pointer, missing this time.
