LAWRENCE — Frank Mason appears to be getting right at just the right time.
And for that matter, so are his Jayhawks.
The Kansas guard scored a team-high 16 points in Saturday’s 72-63 victory against Kansas State at Bramlage Coliseum, pacing KU to its first victory in Manhattan in three seasons, a Sunflower Showdown season sweep and a two-game lead in the Big 12 with just four games to play.
Mason did the most damage as the No. 2 Jayhawks (23-4, 11-3 Big 12) built a 10-point lead before halftime. He scored the final seven points of a 14-0 run near the end of the period, capping the rally with a steal and a layup on the other end.
