Mayo drained a season-high six triples in the contest while adding nine boards for the second-consecutive game and collecting five assists, the first time this season he's contributed at least 10/5/5.

Through nine conference games, he's averaging 17.7 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.6 assists across 34.3 minutes.

Solid line in defeat Mayo registered 16 points (6-17 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 3-6 FT), nine rebounds and one assist over 44 minutes during Saturday's 92-86 2OT loss to Houston.

Impact It was a typical day in terms of scoring for Mayo despite struggles from distance that lowered his season-long three-point shooting percentage to a career-low 36.0 percent. While the Jayhawks came up short, it wasn't a total loss from a fantasy perspective, as the extra time helped the senior post his second-best rebounding total of the year.

No. 11 Kansas faces Cincinnati following Mayo's 23-point game

No. 11 Kansas visits the Cincinnati Bearcats after Zeke Mayo scored 23 points in the Jayhawks' 74-55 win over the Arizona State Sun Devils

JANUARY 10, 2025 • Associated Press

Leads team with 23 points Mayo recorded 23 points (8-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 74-55 win over Arizona State.

Impact Mayo drained five triples en route to totaling a team-high 23 points during Kansas' big win. The senior guard rebounded from a six-point effort in the previous game and has now scored 20-plus in four of the last five games. For the season, Mayo has topped 20 points five times, averaging 14.6 points to go along with 4.1 boards and 3.3 assists across 29.0 minutes.

Continues scoring explosion Mayo provided 27 points (6-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 13-13 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 62-61 loss to West Virginia.

Impact Mayo set a new season high with 27 points, aided in part by a perfect 13-for-13 performance from the charity stripe, but it wasn't enough to prevent West Virginia from stealing a win in Lawrence. While the Jayhawks struggled Tuesday, losing their first conference-opening game since 1991, Mayo continued his torrid stretch, posting at least 25 points for the third-consecutive game. The senior transfer from South Dakota State is averaging 14.7 points on the season but has put up 26.0 points per game over his last three contests.

Explodes for season-high 26 Mayo finished with 26 points (9-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 34 minutes during Saturday's 75-60 win over North Carolina State.

Impact Mayo exploded Saturday for a season-high 26 points while draining five shots from behind the arc. It was the second time this season Mayo posted 20-plus points and the 31st time in his career he's accomplished the feat after doing it 29 times during his three years at South Dakota State.

Timid showing vs. Missouri Mayo had four points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over 26 minutes during Sunday's 76-67 loss to Missouri.

Impact Mayo took the fewest shots he has all season (six) against the Tigers. The South Dakota State transfer is still producing, but he's shooting the ball at the lowest clip of his career early on here in 2024-2025. With this loss to the Tigers being the exception, however, Mayo has certainly asserted himself, averaging 10.2 shots each game. If that keeps up, the natural scorer should hit his stride soon.

Produces 10 boards, seven assists Mayo contributed six points (2-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 77-69 win over Michigan State.

Impact Mayo earned his first start of the season and while he struggled putting the ball into the basket, he stepped up his game in other ways by adding 10 boards and leading the team with seven helpers across 34 minutes. Coach Bill Self is unafraid to give heavy minutes to his starters which makes Mayo's promotion to the starting lineup while seeing his time on the floor rise to 34 minutes in a tight contest against a quality opponent is a good sign for his role and potential production moving forward.

Gets start vs. MSU Mayo will start against Michigan State, Jack Ritter of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Mayo didn't start in Kansas' first two games, but the guard will now get his shot in a big game against Tom Izzo's Spartans. He replaces David Coit in the starting five. As a sixth-man the past two games, Mayo has averaged 20.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists.

Excels in sixth-man role Mayo racked up 21 points (7-14 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and four assists in 29 minutes during Friday's 92-89 victory over North Carolina.

Impact Mayo found himself coming off the bench for the second-consecutive game but he once again led the team in scoring while finishing tied for second on the team in minutes. The senior transfer from South Dakota State has racked up 40 points through two games while showing no ill-effects in making the leap from the Summit League. Mayo was the star of the offseason for Kansas and through two games has justified the hype.

Mayo scores 19 as No. 1 Kansas beats Howard 87-57 in season-opener

Zeke Mayo, a grad transfer from South Dakota State, had 19 points in his Kansas debut and the top-ranked Jayhawks beat Howard 87-57 in the season-opener for both teams

NOVEMBER 5, 2024 • Associated Press

Leading scorer off bench Mayo chipped in 19 points (7-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal across 23 minutes during Monday's 87-57 win over Howard.

Impact Mayo certainly has the ability to score in bunches after back-to-back seasons of 18.0 ppg or greater at South Dakota State, but it was a bit surprising seeing the senior work in a reserve capacity after starting in exhibition play. That didn't affect his usage, however, as he led the Jayhawks in scoring and tied KJ Adams for the most minutes played. Mayo will look for a repeat performance in upcoming matchups against North Carolina (Friday) and Michigan State (Tuesday).

NOVEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Goes for 16 points off bench Mayo put up 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt), two steals and a rebound in Tuesday's exhibition win over Washburn.

Impact Mayo started last week's exhibition game against Arkansas, but came off the bench in this one and was more productive drilling four shots from deep. Mayo certainly has the respect of coach Bill Self and will be playing a lot this season because of his ball-handling and shooting ability. That being said, this team has a lot of talented pieces they want to work in and that will take some time. Kansas will open the regular season on Monday against Howard.

Making strong impression Mayo has been "our most consistent, best guy since June," according to coach Bill Self, via The Goodman and Hummel Basketball Podcast.

Impact When Self was asked to give his starting lineup for the upcoming season, he said "it would be hard to keep Juan (Dajuan Harris), KJ (KJ Adams), Hunt (Hunter Dickinson) and Zeke Mayo out of the lineup." The first three are not a surprise, but Self clearly sees Mayo as a big part of their team for the upcoming season. Mayo was an elite scorer at South Dakota State that also was very strong at running the offense. Mayo and Harris give coach Self two very trusted ball-handlers in the lineup, and have a lot of similarities to the 2021-22 team with Harris and Remy Martin that ultimately paired well together and won an NCAA Championship. The final starting spot in the Kansas lineup next season is likely between AJ Storr and Rylan Griffen at the small forward spot, but both should still see plenty of action.
