Five members of the University of Kansas men's basketball team were listed as potential witnesses for an investigation into an alleged rape of a 16-year-old girl at McCarthy Hall, an all-male apartment complex on the school's campus, in December.

Hunter Woodall and Blair Kerkhoff of the Kansas City Star reported Wednesday the police report listed Frank Mason III, Mitch Lightfoot, Lagerald Vick, Tucker Vang and Josh Jackson as possible witnesses.

"From what I have learned, a witness can be many things, including a person who can potentially provide information, whether an eyewitness or not, or has been present before, during or after an alleged incident," head coach Bill Self said.
