Some Kansas fans show their ugly side with criticism of Perry Ellis
Yes, Perry Ellis missed a shot at the end of Kansas’ game Monday at West Virginia.
Ellis’ miss at the end of the Jayhawks’ 62-61 loss at West Virginia had some KU fans seeing red. Naturally, they took to Twitter to express their displeasure.
Before getting to the nasty comments, here’s one to remember:
Anyone who says Perry Ellis lost that game for Kansas did not watch the first 39 minutes of the game. He is the only reason it was close.

Perry Ellis is just awful. I don't care what offensive stats he has, he's terrible. He is the WORST defensive Player in NCAAB. Dunk It!!!!!

— Garrett Farah (@Garrett_Farah24) February 17, 2015It’s worth noting that Ellis is a junior:
@Shmdty77 also, if you're Perry Ellis, a senior leader on that team, you HAVE to finish at the basket there. Those are my thoughts.
