The Kansas men's basketball team began on Tuesday morning its annual boot camp, the intense fall conditioning regimen that helps prepare players for the season ahead. Boot camp, which typically continues for up to two weeks, although it spanned just one week last year, is a tradition that dates back to coach Bill Self's first head coaching job at Oral Roberts.
