Self's Ejection Sparks Kansas Loss, Postseason Hopes on Line

0:00On March 4, Kansas Coach Bill Self got tossed from last night's game against Arizona State after picking up two quick technical fouls. It happened late in the first half, with his J-Hawks down by 8, right after a questionable offensive foul on freshman star, Darren Peterson. Self stepped away out of the coaching box to argue the call, and that sparked his ejection. Once assistant Jacques Vaughn stepped in, Arizona State closed the half on a strong 16-4 run and pulled away for the win. Self has been known for his fiery sideline style, but this marked just his second ejection since taking over at Kansas back in 2003. After the game, Self owned up to the loss in his press conference, calling his team's effort one of their worst lately. He praised Arizona State for playing well, especially their sharp shooting and rebounding while admitting his squad wasn't ready and that fell on Madarchus. Coaches, the inconsistent officiating played a role in the drama, but Kansas now looks ahead to a key matchup with Kansas State this weekend.

1:00That game could help them regroup before the Big 12 tournament kicks off soon after. Fans are buzzing about whether Self's passion fires at the team or cost them, but with the postseason nearing, the J-Hawks need to bounce back fast.
