Bill Self spoke to reporters at his weekly availability Monday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse. Self answered questions about Les Miles, and previewed the NIT Season Tip-Off.
“I’ve known of Les from a distance ever since he coached at Oklahoma State, and have enjoyed watching him coach both there and at LSU,” Self said in a team release Sunday afternoon. “His hiring brings excitement, interest and credibility to our football program, which in turn will do so much for our university. I know he and his staff will hit the ground running, and I am looking forward to connecting and working with him.”
KU (3-0) takes on Marquette at 6 p.m. Wednesday.
