San Antonio — After deboarding the bus at the team’s hotel Wednesday night, Kansas coach Bill Self, back at the Final Four for the first time since 2012, said his players seem focused headed into a national semifinal versus Villanova.
“Today was good,” Self said of KU’s practice in Lawrence, before the team headed to Texas. “Considering two days off, effort was good, attitude’s good. But how could you have a bad attitude right now?”
While the players have taken pride in getting to college basketball’s grandest stage, Self said they also realize there’s work left to be done.
“You’ve come this far,” he said, “don’t you want to go ahead and finish the job?
The Jayhawks’ coach also provided updates on family members of international players hoping to attend KU-Villanova at The Alamodome this weekend, and discussed some of his thoughts on the Wildcats.
