Frank Mason leads Big 12 in minutes played: 32.92 average. Selden fifth. Scary stat for Frank, as he has done that in spite of a bad ankle twist.

Speaking of league stats, has anyone clicked onto the Big 12 Hoops homepage recently to look at stats? Jayhawks have played excruciating competition; but...JEEZ!

Notice how bad TCU's schedule is to not qualify.

The B12 ought to be called the Big Shoulder Conference. Not a top 5 team in the bunch, but a gaggle of muscular top 6-15 teams! It's like the Big Ten used to be. Bruising to win it. The champ will be one tough hombre!

Question: is Self doing this just to ice as many wins ASAP, because he expects Graham back, or because he figures Graham won't make it back, or both? My instinct would be to pace Frank for the long haul, but Self seems to be thinking KU has to win as much as it can as soon as it can to ensure an at large birth, because we probably don't have the horses for the 18 game grind up coming. What does a real coach think?
