A record-setting barrage of Kansas three-pointers helped Bill Self reach a 600-win milestone attained faster by eight men — all in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.
Self, who credits his players for making possible the 600 victories attained during his 24-year career, heard from several of them via video following Tuesday night’s historic 105-62 win over UMKC at Allen Fieldhouse.
Standing next to senior Frank Mason, who tied a career high with 30 points (including a career-best six threes made in seven tries), Self stared skyward at the center scoreboard as former Jayhawks Wayne Simien, Keith Langford, Sherron Collins, Perry Ellis, Mario Chalmers, Tyrel Reed, Aaron Miles, Cole Aldrich, Russell Robinson, Jamari Traylor and Darnell Jackson — plus select players from Tulsa, Illinois and Oral Roberts — congratulated him on milestone win No.
