Kansas coach Bill Self wasn’t too optimistic about his team’s March Madness chances over the last part of the season.
In the minutes after No. 4 Kansas lost 89-68 to No. 5 Gonzaga in the second round of the NCAA tournament on Saturday, Self admitted that he’d been thinking about the 2024-25 season for a while.
“I think for the last month I’ve been thinking about next season to be honest,” Self said when he was asked about when his attention would turn to the future. “Not in the moments during the game but obviously we played — we had eight guys on scholarship that were healthy there late, and injuries are part of the game so that’s not an excuse, but we could have done a much better job as a staff of putting more guys out there that we could play.
