There was a short — but important — comment from Kansas coach Bill Self following his team’s 105-62 victory over UMKC on Tuesday night.
Someone asked about senior guard Frank Mason, who scored 30 points while remaining as a top candidate for national player of the year honors.
Self, instead, wanted to talk about the past.
“The young man has really worked on his shot,” the coach said. “It’s a quicker release. He’s doing a lot of things, and the basket’s large for him right now.”
Mason made 6 of 7 three-pointers Tuesday and has made 55 percent of his attempts this season.
