Mason

Mason needs 23 points against Oregon to pass Collins for 5th all-time on the Scoring List.

There better not be any question about the poy! My gosh he’s incredible to our team! Maybe for the first time EVERYONE saw that last night! I repeat, to our TEAM!

Another award The National Association of Basketball Coaches has named Frank Mason a 1st Team All-American and Josh Jackson a 3rd Team All-American!

On the verge of becoming the 1st Big-12 player to avg 20 + 5 assists a game.
Isn’t that already etched in stone? I thought since they were identifying it as a Big 12 record, and the Big 12 season is over, that it is in the record books.

@nuleafjhawk He started this thread 2 months ago.

Here is a ESPN story about Mason being the leader. Swanigan is second followed by Heart, Ball and Motley. No question that barring a complete collapse by Mason and Ball suddenly averaging 40 ppg, neither of which is likely, Mason should get the nod.
-
I think I read today Mason is one of only six players to score at least 25/7/7 in an NCAA tourney game. He is one bad man. #BIFM
-
@nuleafjhawk But it was Big 12 players in a season, not just the conference season.
-
@mayjay meh…
-
@JayHawkFanToo If you (Ball) didn’t even get POY in your own conference (PAC whatever) I wouldn’t think you’d have much chance to be named as Naismith winner. Where as, BIFM is Big 12 POY, plus numerous other POY awards, not to mention his stats so far in the tourney, he should be a lock.
-
@BeddieKU23 I think Fearless Frank has this one locked up. Noone else can touch him for NPOY
-
Frank earns Unanimous First Team All-American honor and is only Unanimous pick this year.
First KU player since TRob in 2012 to be first team.
Players were voted on by the same AP writers who vote for the weekly top 25.
Hart of Nova
Ball of UCLA
Swanigan of Purdue
Jackson if UNC
Josh Jackson was third team.

@FarNrthJHwk Might want to edit that post
-
@wissox yikes. Thanks for that. Fat thumbs and new phone.
Sorry
-
Frank Mason was Named AP Player of the year
-
@BeddieKU23 yesssssss
-
@FarNrthJHwk You’re new here, I’m the grammar cop! I mete out fines, sentences, etc. The worst was I forced someone once to watch a whole season of Missouri basketball.
By the way, I’m just a little nosy, and I was a geography major at KU, so how far north are you?
-
@wissox Great so you were the reason they sold that 1 season ticket last season.
Just south of the Canadian border about 4-5 miles as the crow flies. Whitlash MT. Only way to get here is on dirt roads. Lothair is the closet town to me.
Retired up here. It’s not for everybody but I completely enjoy it. Spent 17 years in Wyoming before that.
Enjoy the fishing, hunting and just watching the wildlife.
-
@FarNrthJHwk So is it easy to accidentally end up in Canada or are even the dirt roads clearly marked/blocked? That solitude would be fantastic, but I’m not a fan of bitter cold weather. Best of luck to you!
-
@dylans Well yeah you can get lost on the wrong road. Usually there’s somebody there to let you know though. There’s a few trails that go back and forth across the boarder. But there is a border crossing there with border patrol.
I will have been here two years in June. Wasn’t planned, just kinda fell on my lap. Lost my wife 23 years ago and lost contact with her parents shortly after. Well when her dad passed, he left everything to me as she was an only child and he had lost his wife a few years after his daughter. There were 200 acres in Montana included. So when I found out and I visited I decided to retire and move. Sold half to an old coaching friend and he lives across the road basically.
This summer the cabin should be finished. Built a aluminum barn first and built living quarters in it for the time being.
Thanks to having a satalite I can get tv and internet. There is no cell service for about 40 miles south. There are days turning into weeks you just stay inside. Too much snow or too cold.
But I have a snow machine, 4 wheeler, and my truck. Most of the people that live near by are good with checking on us older types. Lol. There’s also a group of guys that will come around everynow and say hi, but you never go say hi to them. They don’t like trespassers much. You can probably put two and two together there. Lol
Not sure how many more winters I’ll spend up here, but a few more at least. Then might travel south or travel elsewhere for a few months and enjoy this Graceland from May to October.
No plans yet.
-
Very interesting. Absolutely beautiful country in the warmer months but I am not sure I would like to live there year around, particularly in the colder months.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Got enough firewood to last. Collected a lot with this cabin but there are plenty of trees around.
There’s a sign in the Postoffice that reads, “Welcome to God’s country. Because if your car breaks down only God can fix it.”
It’s pretty true
When I split the land and built the road decided that the two cabins would be within a half mile. That way if all else fails we could snowshoe and play cards and see somebody.
I enjoy being up here. Last winter which was my first had a few questionable weeks but this year it was all good.
-
I admire and respect what you are doing. A while back I looked at some nice opportunities in North Dakota and decided it was for a younger person since I am now too used to the comfort of the suburbs…plus it would be difficult for me to move away from the children and grandchildren.
-
@JayHawkFanToo You are a lucky man to have family. Wouldn’t trade family for anything in the world. I miss my wife every day. Never had kids of my own, just the kids who played for me. It’s missing them come back to town and seeing how they’ve grown up. But the internet helps a little with that.
But Minot uh. And I thought I was in he middle of nowhere. Lol.
-
Minot was one of the larger cities, the others were Willistone and Watford with huge development due to the Bakken field oil boom that now appears to be going bust. Big rewards but more suited for younger individuals.
