Omaha, Neb. — After an 80-76 victory against Clemson on Friday to advance to the Elite Eight, Kansas basketball coach Bill Self said he considers it a great season for the Jayhawks. But he’s hopeful that the season can continue with a trip to San Antonio next week.
“It’s been great, but it would be nice to make it special,” Self said. “I think in order to do that, at Kansas, you have to go to the Final Four. I honestly believe that, I’ve always thought that, but we should play free and loose on Sunday, though.”
Despite the Jayhawks’ three wins in the NCAA Tournament, Self believes the Jayhawks haven’t played “great” yet.
“I don’t know what we’ll do different, but I know one thing: I’m going to tell my guys to let it fly,” Self said. “Whoever we are playing (Duke or Syracuse), you know we’re going to have to shoot 30 3s.”
