Any criticism about the team should be directed at me,” the Jayhawks coach said after guard Zeke Mayo was the target of vitriol on social media.

Kansas guard Zeke Mayo was the subject of threatening and racist messages on social media after the team's 78-73 home loss Saturday to No. 10 Texas Tech, prompting coach Bill Self to issue a late night statement requesting any criticism about the team be directed instead at him.

With Mayo receiving hate for his recent performances and Kansas losing its third home game of the season, Self put out a statement through the Jayhawks' social media accounts explaining that his team "came up short" against the Red Raiders, but that all criticism should be directed toward him as the head coach.
