Kansas basketball coach Bill Self says the Jayhawks have remained loose during the last couple of days of practices, as they prepare for a Thursday Sweet 16 matchup with Maryland.
Self says the 5th-seeded Terrapins have played a lot like No. 1 seed KU in the NCAA Tournament — terrific in spurts.
Kansas (32-4) faces Maryland (27-8) at approximately 8:40 p.m. Central on Thursday, at the KFC Yum! Center.
