BILL SELF RUMORS & GOSSIP
Preview: Jayhawks face Miners in third-place game of Battle 4 Atlantis
The last time Kansas faced Texas-El Paso, they were stunned in the NCAA tournament almost 22 years ago.
There's a lot less at stake this time, but coach Bill Self would like his Jayhawks to learn a lesson.

Preview: KU defense to be tested by Demon Deacons
There are few things that Kansas coach Bill Self loves more than playing defense.
He also loves a roster full of NBA-caliber talent on his team, and sometimes it's hard for those two loves to coexist.

The Kansas Jayhawks basketball team held a scrimmage on Saturday morning that Bill Self said was for the fans who couldn't get in the doors at KU's Late Night in the Phog two weeks ago.
