Bill Self glanced at his watch after the final horn sounded in Kansas’ 109-64 nonconference basketball rout of Omaha on Monday night at Allen Fieldhouse.
“That game was over in 1 hour, 40 minutes,” Self, who is Kansas’ 15th-year coach, said in an somewhat incredulous tone, adding, “they (ESPN2 announcers) had to fill a lot of time. I know because they interviewed Svi (Mykhailiuk, 26 points) about 10 minutes. I bet that was a fun interview understanding Ukrainian English.
“We’ve got to figure out a way to stop the clock and get to the free-throw line,” Self added, noting there have been a lack of stoppages lately because of a lack of fouls called in games.
