Kansas breaks road skid with rout of TCU: The Jayhawks had lost three straight on the road, but Saturday's contest at TCU was never in doubt. "[Kansas] built a 38-20 lead at halftime and drained the life from the building with its suffocating brand of defense," writes Rustin Dodd. "They did so without a fully healthy Wayne Selden, who was battling flu-like symptoms, [Bill] Self said, and had just three points in 22 minutes. By late in the second half, Kansas fans out-numbered Horned Frogs, and the 'Rock Chalk' chant echoed off the arena’s walls." -- The Kansas City Star

Three takeaways from Fort Worth: Jose Rodriguez credits the Jayhawks for controlling the game from the very start and dominating in the paint. Nobody dominated the paint more than Perry Ellis. "If you're looking for the single best example of the beatdown Kansas put on TCU in the form of an individual, 6-foot-8 senior forward Perry Ellis is your guy," writes Rodriguez. "It mattered not that Ellis shot 0-for-3 from outside the paint, because in it, he went a perfect 11-for-11 (including three dunks) on his way to 23 points. Ellis posted a double-double with 10 rebounds and added three assists. He made it look easy -- because it was easy." -- Dallas News

Jayhawks set for 'biggest week' of the season: Up next for Kansas is West Virginia, Tuesday, in Allen Fieldhouse. The Mountaineers knocked off the Jayhawks 74-63 in Morgantown on Jan. 13, and Bob Huggins' squad is coming off back-to-back wins over No. 13 Iowa State and No. 15 Baylor. After hosting the Mountaineers, the Jayhawks travel to Oklahoma on Saturday, where the Sooners will try to avenge a three-OT loss in Lawrence on Jan. 5. “This is the biggest week we’ve had. Of course we’ve had some big weeks already,” Self said. “This is the biggest week to date. We get a chance to play a team that handled us easily and one that’s the No. 1 team in the country. Our guys should be pretty jacked.” -- KUsports.com
