Bill Self’s season continued to slip away on Wednesday night.
Cincinnati held on to knock off Kansas 72-52 in the second round of the Big 12 tournament on Wednesday. While both Hunter Dickinson and Kevin McCullar weren’t available due to their respective injuries, the loss marked the fourth in Kansas’ last five games in what’s turning out to be a terrible stretch at the worst time for the team that was ranked No. 1 in the nation to start the year last fall.
