Lucas and Self are fifth-year seniors who ended their careers with undergraduate degrees from KU, five Big 12 regular-season titles, two Big 12 Championship titles, a 75-3 record in Allen Fieldhouse and both were named Academic All-Big 12 First Team this season. Mason was a part of four conference regular-season titles and is 12th all-time on the KU scoring list (1,740), ninth in assists (536), 10th in 3-point field goals made (170) and 17th in steals (159).

  • Freshman Josh Jackson posted his 11th double-double of the season with 11 points and 12 rebounds against Oklahoma (2/27). His 11 double-doubles are the most ever by a Kansas freshman and rank tied for 18th on the KU single-season list.
