Wooden Watch: Kansas' Mason overtakes top spot

Related Topics: John R. Wooden Award

A big change happened at the top of this week's Wooden Watch. After Kansas guard Frank Mason III saved the Jayhawks in yet another close game, this time a 67-65 win at Baylor, he has been elevated to frontrunner status over Villanova's Josh Hart.

Mason had 23 points and eight assists against the Bears, and most importantly went a perfect 8-of-8 from the free throw line to deliver the win.

It should be noted that Hart hasn't seen a dip in his play. Mason has simply played in, and performed well in, more marquee games during conference play.
