Kansas' Bill Self misses Thursday's tourney opener vs. Howard

Kansas coach Bill Self missed Thursday's game against Howard as he continues to progress well from a recent health issue, the school announced.

Self missed the Big 12 tournament after undergoing a heart procedure last week. He arrived at the hospital March 8 after complaining of chest tightness and balance concerns. Self "underwent a standard heart catheterization and had two stents placed for the treatment of blocked arteries," the University of Kansas Health System said last week.

He was discharged from the hospital Sunday night and said he was excited to rejoin the team this week.
