If you weren’t up late and on Twitter Monday night after KU’s 86-56 pounding of Texas in Austin, you might have missed a small dose of trash talk dished out by KU point guard Frank Mason.
But despite what you might be thinking, Mason was not jawing at the Longhorns. How could he? I mean, after what Kansas did to that team in its own building, talking trash would’ve just been too much.
But Mason had no problem sending some subtle words toward ESPN broadcaster Fran Fraschilla, who, a couple of weeks ago, sent out a Tweet ranking the Big 12 point guards and put Mason sixth on the list.
I doubt you would’ve found too many people who follow the conference closely who would’ve argued with the ranking at that point in time. Remember, Mason has only returned to his 2014-15 form during the past couple of weeks and was having an up-and-down season to that point.
In the past couple of weeks, however, Mason has been fantastic and has played a huge role in helping lead the Jayhawks to Big 12 title No. 12 in a row, something Mason wanted to make sure Fraschilla was aware of in an oh-so-subtle way.
Here’s a look at both Tweets, first the one from Fraschilla on Feb. 8 followed by Mason’s Tweet late last night.

“6th best PG in the Big 12” but what is my team? ?
