Mayo certainly believes the Jayhawks can make a deep run into March. “We believe that we have the most talented roster in the country,” Mayo said. “We have the best coaching staff in the country, so all it takes is just a belief from every guy down the line who’s involved in this program to go on a run here.

The Kansas Jayhawks frequently rally at home in key games, demonstrating resilience against tough opponents. They need victories to secure a spot in March.

Mayo hit his first basket, a three, with nine to play to give Kansas an 18-17 lead. Then it was the Dickinson show. He scored eight of KU’s next 10 points as the Jayhawks pulled out to a 28-20 lead. Dickinson got a breather so Adams took over with the next four points before Mayo swished his second three.
