New Jayhawk Network tradition we launched this week... We’ll dedicate each broadcast to a different KU fan fighting cancer. We’ll have their name on our headsets & their story in our hearts. @ me if you have a friend you’d like to feature. God bless, stay strong and Rock Chalk!

Self on Silvio: I can be mad at him or say things to him in a private setting that the media won’t be privy to, but if my son or daughter makes a bad emotional decision in the heat of the moment, I don’t stop loving them. He’s ours and I’m proud that he is.

One of the all-time great redemption stories and classic case studies in sticking it out through adversity is that of Jason Bean. In an era when so many are so quick to seek greener pastures when things don’t break their way, Jason did just the opposite.

A win would give Self his 10th 30-win season in 19 yrs at KU.
It would mean KU’s 32nd Sweet 16 appearance (4th all-time).
…and be KU’s 2,353rd victory, tying Kentucky for the most wins all-time. (A 48-game gap closed by Self).
Big day ahead. Rock Chalk!

Self: We’ve won 17 of these in my 20 years & they’re all very special, but to win it after losing 75% of our scoring, to win it in a year when Vitale said this is the best conference not just the Big 12 has seen but all of America’s seen in the last 20 years, that’s very special.
