Jayhawks ‘OK’ in exhibition games, Self says. But ‘we play too slow in my opinion.’

Bill Self saw some good things — and plenty of things to work on — during Kansas’ three-game exhibition season that concluded with a somewhat shaky 86-57 victory over NCAA Division II Fort Hays State on Tuesday night at Allen Fieldhouse.

“We’re OK,” said Self, KU’s 15th-year coach, giving a state-of-the-team address Wednesday night on his hour-long Hawk Talk radio show.

“I think our conditioning is pretty good, considering we don’t have a lot of depth. That’s not bad. I think we have the potential to be a good shooting team. We’ve not shot it well in a game yet,” he added, noting Devonté Graham made 6 of 10 threes on Tuesday but the rest of the squad was just 3 of 21 from beyond the arc.
