Kansas City, Mo. — One day before facing Oregon in the Elite Eight, Kansas guards Frank Mason III and Svi Mykhailiuk discussed using last year’s Elite Eight loss to Villanova as motivation for this season.
The Jayhawks will play Oregon for a spot in the Final Four at 7:49 p.m. Saturday at Sprint Center.
“Just ending the season that we did last year is something that we thought about for a while,” Mason said. “We just want to come out this year ad try to do everything we can to make sure that doesn’t happen this year.”
