LAWRENCE, Kan. -- The acrobatic reverse layup Frank Mason made around a 7-foot defender in the second half of the game for No. 4 Kansas on Saturday was appreciated by most everyone.

Yet for the 5-foot-10 guard, the shot almost seemed routine.

Mason has been doing that kind of thing since arriving at Kansas and the 20 points he poured in against Stanford enabled him to lead the Jayhawks in scoring for the sixth time in eight games. Kansas (7-1) also placed three other scorers -- all guards -- in double figures and toppled the Cardinal 89-74.

"That was a good move," said Mason's backcourt partner, junior Devonte' Graham. "Frank is usually good around the basket finishing, but I think he was surprised with that one."

The bucket came with 12:15 remaining and boosted the Jayhawks' lead to 14. They went on to push that margin to 19 as Graham added 15 points and freshman Josh Jackson scored 13. Junior reserve guard Svi Mykhailiuk added 13 as the Jayhawks went 12 of 22 from 3-point range.

As good as the Kansas backcourt performed, however, problems surfaced underneath.

Four big men combined for 16 fouls and none had an answer for Stanford junior forward Reid Travis, who set opponent records against Kansas for free throws made (19) and attempted (22). The previous marks of 18 and 21 were set by Texas Tech's Rayford Young (1999) and Iowa State's Craig Brackins (2009).

Travis finished with a career-high 29 points while adding nine rebounds. No other Cardinal, however, scored in double figures as they suffered their second straight loss and fell to 6-3.

"Reid is a monster. He's an easy guy to root for," Stanford coach Jarod Haase said of his 6-foot-8 standout, who missed much of last season with a stress fracture and then worked diligently over the offseason at becoming a better free throw shooter.

"For him to make 19 shots from the line would have taken him 60 shots last year," Haase added. "For him to revamp his shot like that is pretty impressive."

Travis actually managed to single-handedly outscore the Jayhawks at the foul line. Kansas made just 13 of 22 free throws, but consistently beat Stanford down floor for a 19-4 edge in fast-break points.

Still, the impact Travis enjoyed underneath could provide incentive moving forward.

"Personally as a big, we have to do better than that on defense," senior forward Landen Lucas said. "I think I've been too concerned with fouls."

Kansas coach Bill Self noted the Jayhawks will see plenty of big men in the Big 12 Conference with similar skill sets as Travis. He also labeled free-throw shooting as a concern, but was mostly happy with his team's seventh straight win.

"We actually played pretty good," Self said. "I thought our first-shot defense was good. We played out of foul trouble with our bigs, but all of our perimeter players were very positive contributors in the end. Our bigs productively played a little better, but just don't play smart so we've got to do a lot of things to correct that."

Mason also led the Jayhawks with five assists.

Graham was on fire in the first half, making five 3-point attempts. His 15 points carried the Jayhawks to a 43-35 halftime lead.

The Jayhawks overcame a 17-11 deficit with six unanswered points and gained a 10-point lead with 5:38 left in the half on a trey by Graham.

Travis, who carried a 16.3-point average into the game, paced Stanford with 12 first-half points. The Cardinal's assist leader, senior guard Christian Sanders played only eight minutes and drew three fouls. He also committed three first-half turnovers while limited to four points.

The Cardinal went 12 of 24 from the field in the first half despite entering the game ranked 308th nationally in scoring offense (66.8).

NOTES: Senior F Landen Lucas returned for Kansas after missing the previous game with a strained oblique. Lucas started the first five games of the season before he was replaced in the lineup by freshman C Udoke Azuibuike. ... Kansas coach Bill Self advised fans to kind in their treatment of Stanford coach Jerod Haase, but joked that limits should be set. Haase was a popular long-range shooter for the Jayhawks from 1995-97 and joined the Kansas staff before leaving with Roy Williams when the former Jayhawks coach took over at North Carolina. Kansas fans did give Haase a nice pregame reception. ... Stanford came in 5-12 against teams ranked in the top five since 2000-01. The Cardinal defeated Kansas in one of those wins, a 60-57 victory in the 2014 NCAA Tournament when the Jayhawks were seeded second. ... Former Kansas coach Larry Brown was in attendance for the second straight game. He also attended a couple of the team practices leading into the Stanford game.
