Coach Bill Self entered Kansas’ basketball practice facility at 6 a.m., sharp Friday, his players wrapping up 10 minutes of stretching exercises prior to the start of Boot Camp.
“I thought the media slept until noon,” Self said, acknowledging a group of reporters invited to watch the Jayhawks’ fifth early-morning Boot Camp conditioning session of the week.
“You guys must be bored at home,” Self added, smiling.
Self, in his 14th year with KU, huddled with his players at center court and had senior Landen Lucas provide an inspirational message followed by two minutes of jump roping that initiated 50 minutes of non-stop player movement highlighted by 20 minutes worth of suicide sprints (up and down the court).
