The University of Kansas mens basketball program has soared to new heights under coach Bill Self. The Jayhawks have regularly been a Top 10 ranked team in his 11 year tenure at the school, winning the 2008 NCAA National Championship, the school’s first since the legendary Larry Brown coached team won the title back in [...]
