Made KU 2,143-825 all-time.

Kansas held TCU to a season-low 30.6 (22-for-72) shooting efficiency.

TCU's 72 attempted shots are the most by a Kansas opponent this season and are the most shots taken by the opposition since North Carolina took 73 shots in the third round of the NCAA Tournament on March 24, 2013.

The Jayhawks' 12 blocks tied a season-high (vs. Texas Tech, 1/10/15). The +9 blocking margin is KU's best of the year.

Seven different Jayhawks got in on the block party against TCU, tying the most individuals to reject a field goal attempt his season. Seven Kansas players also recorded a block in a win over Kent State on Dec. 30, 2014.

Kansas' 64 points mark its second-lowest point total in the all-time series against TCU. The lowest being the 62-55 loss (2/6/13).

For just the fifth time this season, KU was outrebounded, but it was the first time the Jayhawks were outrebounded by double-digits (50-40). TCU is the first opponent to grab 50 or more boards against KU since Iowa State pulled down 53 (1/13/14).

TCU's 26 offensive rebounds were the most offensive boards given up by a Kansas team since surrendering 27 second chances off the glass to Arizona on Dec. 1, 2001.

TCU also grabbed more offensive rebounds (26) than it did defensive rebounds (23) marking the first time a Kansas opponent has secured more possessions on the offensive glass since Texas grabbed 19 offensive rebounds compared to 18 defensive boards on Feb. 22, 2014.

Kansas is 13-0 when leading after the first 20 minutes of play in 2014.

After TCU senior G Kyan Anderson hit a three-pointer to put the Frogs up 7-5, they went on to make just one of their next 12 shots. That left Kansas room to open an 18-3 run.

TCU responded, setting up what was a game of crucial runs. The Horned Frogs' 8-0 run in the first half curbed KU's 23-10 lead in the first half, while TCU came out on a 7-0 run to start the second half to take the 37-36 lead. TCU fought in the final seconds, outscoring KU 13-5 in the final 3:35.

Kansas fouled TCU a season-high 26 times on the night, surpassing the previous high of 23 fouls at Iowa State on Jan. 17, 2015.

Sophomore G Frank Mason III chalked up a team-high 16 points to push his double-digit scoring streak to 17 games, tying Travis Releford's 17-game streak in the 2012-13 season. He's moving up the all-time streak list in the Bill Self era. After Wednesday, he's tied for fifth-longest. Thomas Robinson (2011-12) and Marcus Morris (2010-11) hold the longest double-digit streaks in the Self era at 27 games.

For the first time this year, Mason did not attempt a three-pointer.

Junior F Perry Ellis scored the first points for Kansas for the 10th time this season, doubling the second-best Jayhawk in that category (Frank Mason III, 5).

While Ellis scored the first two baskets, he also picked up the first two fouls. With 18:44 on the clock in the first half, Ellis was forced to the bench. He didn't return until the start of the second half. By night's end, he had fouled out for the second time this season (at Iowa State, 1/17).

Sophomore F Landen Lucas, redshirt junior F Hunter Mickelson and freshman G Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk checked in for the first time since each checked in at Iowa State (1/17). The three of them had a total of 11 points by halftime.

Lucas finished with a career-high three blocks and tied his career-best with seven rebounds. His eight points came just one shy of tying his career-high (9 vs. Rider, 11/24/14).

Sophomore G Brannen Greene scored all seven of his points in the second half and five of them with 33 seconds remaining. This season, Greene is 19-for-21 from the line with less than five minutes remaining.

Greene pulled down a personal-best seven rebounds and tied his career-high with one block.

Redshirt junior F Hunter Mickelson tied his KU career-best with two blocks.

For the first time since returning from an injury suffered against Georgetown on Dec. 10, 2014, freshman G Devonte' Graham did not record an assists. He now has 20 assists and three turnovers in his seven games back.
