Bill Self on KU’s 19 threes: ‘Hopefully we can do it when we really need to’

Kansas’ record-setting three-point shooting in Tuesday night’s 114-71 rout of Texas Southern remained a hot topic of discussion 24 hours later on coach Bill Self’s weekly Hawk Talk radio show.

“We made a lot of shots last night,” Self, KU’s 15th-year coach said Wednesday night in answer to a question to open the show. The Jayhawks canned a school-record 19 threes in a school-record 36 attempts. “Hopefully we can do it when we really need to.”

He noted that the Jayhawks’ 52.8 percent shooting from three actually calculated to 60 percent when only including KU’s scholarship guards.
