Frank Mason Delivers Again in High-Stakes Win | Kansas Jayhawks Basketball News

JHX Alumni stunned K-State Alumni with a gritty 62-55 win in a winner-take-all Game 3, thanks to Frank Mason III’s clutch game-winner on his home court.

Zeke Mayo led the charge with 25 points, while Jacob Hanna added a double-double.

Kohl Rosario’s Breakout Potential | Kansas Jayhawks Basketball News

Kansas basketball is turning the page with a nearly all-new roster next season, leaving only two holdovers—Paul Mbiya and Kohl Rosario—both of whom face uncertain roles.

Analysts praise his athleticism, defensive versatility, and potential to score from deep. His fate hinges on Coach Self’s lineup decisions: a smaller combo guard setup might sideline him, while a traditional guard rotation could thrust him into a starting role. With the season looming, Rosario’s time to prove he belongs is now. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
