Self Weighs Future After Heartbreaking Loss

0:00On March 23rd, Kansas men's basketball coach Bill Self remains undecided about returning for another season. The Hall of Famers number four seated Jay Hawks fell to number five St. John's by a score of 67-65 in the second round of the NCAA. Tournament on Sunday, March 22nd. The game ended on a heartbreaking buzzer-beater layup by St. John's guard Dylan Darling with just 3.9 seconds left. That defeat kept Kansas from reaching the sweet 16 for the first time since their national championship run in 2022. Self, who was 63, has dealt with health problems lately, including a brief hospital stay in January. He wants to keep coaching, but only if he feels up to it. Over his career, Self has racked up more than 800 wins in two national titles with Kansas in 2008 and 2022. He plans the head home, talk it over with family, and weigh his health against his passion for the job before making a call.
