"That was probably as good of a game Mason has played since being at Kansas," coach Bill Self said after game one.
Game two:
USA defeats Canada
87-76
Frank Mason took over in the fourth quarter in the first exhibition game. Mason was responsible for all points scored in the fourth quarter as he scored every basket except for a Perry Ellis jumper when he was credited with the assist. He finished with 28 points, 16 of which came in the fourth quarter.
Wayne Selden tried to one-up his teammate Mason in the final exhibition game in the Sprint Center. Selden dropped 22 points making 6 of his 11 shots from the floor and 7 of his 8 free throws. He also hauled in 10 rebounds.
"Now that he is our third ball handler, he can crash the glass more, which adds so much to his offensive game," Self said.
