The Kansas Jayhawks are set to play in Boulder, but Hall of Fame coach Bill Self won’t be present. Self, 63, a Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame inductee in 2017, was taken to LMH Health after feeling unwell. He received IV fluids and is now recovering. Due to caution, he stayed behind while the team headed to Boulder for the game against Colorado tonight at 9 p.m. on ESPN.
Self’s absence will see KU assistant Jacque Vaughn step in as acting head coach for the No. 19 Jayhawks. Self’s close friend, Colorado coach Tad Boyle, will be on the opposing side for this match-up. The game comes as Colorado (12-6 overall, 2-3 Big 12) looks to break a three-game losing streak, while Kansas (13-5, 3-2) aims to build on recent wins over tough opponents.
