Worth noting

Former Kansas guard Sherron Collins, actor and KU fan Rob Riggle, and Royals announcer Denny Matthews attended Saturday’s game. … KU reserve forward Mitch Lightfoot had a tip-in of a Mason miss with 5:45 left in the first half. Self said it was the best tip the Jayhawks have had this season. … Kansas’ 50-game win streak in Allen Fieldhouse is the fourth-longest Allen Fieldhouse win streak in program history and the second longest in the 14-year Self era. The all-time record is 69 games set by Self’s Jayhawks in the span of Feb. 7, 2007-Jan. 22, 2011. … Mason passed the 1,500 point mark for his KU career. He’s now 20th on the all-time list, passing Ron Kellogg, with 1,514 points.
