Kansas head coach Bill Self pleads for a call during the second half, Saturday, Feb. 17, 2018 at Allen Fieldhouse.

When the final buzzer sounded Monday night on a 104-74 Kansas victory against Oklahoma, Bill Self had officially completed his 100th home-and-home, regular-season Big 12 series.

And he hasn’t been swept yet.

Self has swept 69 of those series and split 31. That’s 69 sweeps without being swept a single time.

Kansas has three regular-season games remaining and the non-sweep streak will be on the line in two of them. Texas Tech defeated Kansas, 85-73, Jan. 2 in Allen Fieldhouse. The rematch is set for 3 p.m. Saturday in Lubbock.

KU finishes its regular season Saturday, March 3rd, another 3 p.m. tipoff. In between, KU plays host to Texas, 8 p.m. Monday. The Jayhawks defeated the Longhorns in Austin, so if KU defeats Texas Tech, the non-sweep streak will reach 102, regardless of the outcome of the Texas game.
