Kansas tops UTEP for third place in Atlantis

Perry Ellis scored 15 of his 19 points in the second half, Wayne Selden Jr. scored 14 and No. 2 Kansas survived a stiff challenge before beating Texas-El Paso 67-63 on Saturday night in the third-place game at the Battle 4 Atlantis.

Joel Embiid came off the bench to add nine points, seven blocked shots - all in the second half, and the most in a game by a Kansas reserve since at least 1995 - and six rebounds.
