Josh Jackson tops ratings vs. Baylor

By Staff     Feb 2, 2017

Kansas guard Josh Jackson (11) rejects a shot from Baylor guard Al Freeman (25) during the first half, Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2017 at Allen Fieldhouse.

**1 – Josh Jackson:** He’s getting better and he was awfully good in the first place. His sixth double-double and second in a row against a top 4 team included 23 points and 10 rebounds. Had two blocked shots in the first half. Pump-fake, drive and two-hand slam broke 64-64 tie and Kansas never trailed.

**2 – Frank Mason:** Played phenomenal defense at the end and drove to the lane so relentlessly to draw fouls, more than making up for an off shooting night. Made just 3 of 12 shots and 1 of 3 3-pointers, but was 12 for 12 from the line, had four rebounds, three steals, six assists and just two turnovers in 38 minutes. In a word, he’s a winner.

**3 – Devonte’ Graham:** Strong game on his way to 13 points on 5 of 9 shooting from the field and 3 of 6 from 3-point range.

**4 – Landen Lucas:** All five of his points came in the second half, as did 7 of 11 rebounds.

**5 – Svi Mykhailiuk:** Made 3 of 5 3-pointers and is shooting .423 on the season on them. Scored 11 points and is averaging 10.6.

Kansas guard Frank Mason III (0) goes into the seats trying to save a ball during the first half, Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2017 at Allen Fieldhouse.

**6 – Mitch Lightfoot:** Set up beautifully by Mason for an easy bucket and blocked two shots in a productive five minutes.

**7 – Dwight Coleby:** Scoreless in six minutes, he was made a couple of defensive mistakes, but he also had six rebounds.

**8 – Lagerald Vick:** Missed all four shots, including two 3-pointers, in a scoreless 14 minutes.
