Kansas guard Frank Mason III, (0) saves a loose ball from going out of bounds during the first half on Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2015 at United Supermarkets Arena.

Kansas University sophomore point guard Frank Mason III said the Jayhawks held a players-only meeting on Tuesday night at Jayhawker Towers in the wake of Monday’s 70-63 loss to Kansas State in Manhattan.

The meeting was called by Perry Ellis and Wayne Selden.

“Just getting back on the right page,” Mason said of the purpose of the meeting. “We obviously don’t want to be the team to mess up the Big 12 streak (10 straight titles). So we just got together (to) talk about the things we need to do, becoming better on the defensive end, just doing everything coach needs us to do.”

The loss to K-State dropped (22-6, 11-4) KU into a tie (in the loss column) with Iowa State in the Big 12 race. However, Baylor beat Iowa State on Wednesday night in Ames, meaning KU again holds a one-game lead over ISU, West Virginia and Oklahoma with three games remaining.

“Different guys stepped up, said different things, had their own opinions,” Mason said of the players meeting. “We just all took it and tried to make it positive and make the change.”
