1st half The Jayhawks got off to a strong start, thanks to Perry Ellis, who scored on the each of the team’s first two possessions. However, after picking up a couple of fouls, he headed to the bench, where he spent the rest of the half. At the break, eight of the 11 Jayhawks to play had a field goal, and two of the three players that didn’t score were starters.

2nd half TCU came out firing, taking the lead off a 7-0 run, but Mason quickly answered, giving the Jayhawks KANSAS TCU the lead, and the team would barely hold on down the stretch, KU STATS TCU STATS as Brannen FIELD-GOAL PERCENT: 46.2 FIELD-GOAL PERCENT: 30.6 Greene 3-POINT FIELD GOAL 3-POINT FIELD GOAL made 64 61 PERCENT: 37.5 36 28 30 31 PERCENT: 15.4 5-of-6 REBOUNDS: 40 REBOUNDS: 49 free throws.

While he did miss a couple of free throws down the stretch that could’ve ended the game, Frank Mason was absolutely the Jayhawks best player on the night. Mason led the team in points (16) and made field goals (8), and it wasn’t even close. Every Mason time TCU went on a run, he was there to respond. GAME TO FORGET

Oubre was not at 100 percent coming into this game, as he was recovering from flu- like symptoms, and it certainly showed. The freshman missed all three of his field goal attempts, finishing the game with no points for the first time since Nov. 30, Oubre Jr. when the Jayhawks defeated Michigan State. UNSUNG HERO

With Perry Ellis in foul trouble, Landen Lucas came off of the bench and made his presence felt. The redshirt sophomore racked up eight points and seven rebounds, and it was just the second time in his career he recorded more than five points and Lucas five rebounds in a game. Without him, the team shot just 50 percent at the line. PAGE 10B THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 2015 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Swimming and diving team returns to Robinson AMIE JUST @Amie_Just
