Kansas basketball coach Bill Self won’t be addressing the Big 12 race with his players anytime soon.
“I think we need to quit talking about winning the league, even though that’s kind of expected around here,” Self said Thursday at his weekly media luncheon at Allen Fieldhouse.
“It’s obviously a fair question with us having a chance to do something nobody’s ever done (win 14 straight regular-season league crowns). We need to just talk about getting better each week. If you do that, the wins and losses take care of themselves. That’s what our focus is.”
The Jayhawks, who last season tied UCLA for most consecutive NCAA Division I conference titles, would certainly love to make it 14 in a row and have that particular record all to themselves.
