No. 2 Kansas trailed by as many as nine points during the first half of its Round of 64 matchup against No. 15 Eastern Kentucky but emerged with a 32-32 tie at halftime, thanks in part to the chemistry between freshmen Frank Mason and Andrew Wiggins.
Mason connected with Wiggins for multiple alley-oops during the half, including this thunderous slam in transition:
