Kansas guard Frank Mason III (0) hooks a pass around TCU guard Michael Williams (2) and TCU forward Vladimir Brodziansky (10) during the first half, Friday, Dec. 30, 2016 at Schollmaier Arena in Fort Worth, Texas

**1 – Frank Mason:** Made some tough, tough shots, including one when double-teamed by a pair of tall defenders. Produced 22 points and seven assists with just one turnover and he added two steals and four rebounds. Came up with several big buckets to curb TCU’s enthusiasm. Defensively, it wasn’t his best effort in stopping penetration, but he was the best offensive player on the floor and played 35 minutes.

**2 – Landen Lucas:** Made 7 of 9 field goals and totaled 15 points and a career-high 17 rebounds. Seven of his rebounds came at the offensive end.

**3 – Lagerald Vick:** Effective driving and shooting from behind the 3-point arc (3 of 6) and scored 17 points.

**4 – Svi Mykhailiuk:** Had some sloppy turnovers and defensive lapses early, but finished with 12 points in 37 minutes and made 3 of 5 3-pointers.

**5 – Devonte’ Graham:** Had six assists and just one turnover, but made just 1 of 7 3-pointers and 3 of 14 field goals. Also had trouble stopping dribble penetration.

**6 – Carlton Bragg:** Missed a couple of shots in close, but did a nice job on the boards with nine rebounds in 16 minutes.

**7 – Josh Jackson:** Fouled out in 12 minutes and one of them came on a technical foul after he was whistled for a foul on a questionable call. Threw up airballs on drives and had his poorest night as a Jayhawk.
