While containing red-hot Kansas guard Remy Martin has been tough enough for KU’s opponents this month, finding game film that can help devise plan on how to go about it has been an even bigger challenge. With just 16 teams remaining in the hunt the national title, coaches at this time of year tend to look for any advantage they can find when it comes to scouting their next opponent. That often means ...
Chicago — The top-seeded Kansas men’s basketball team arrived at its team hotel in The Windy City via police escort on a rainy Wednesday evening, much to the delight of head coach Bill Self. “I love Chicago,” Self said in a brief chat with reporters after getting off one of three team buses. “Chicago has been very good to me and our programs, respectively, at Illinois and, obviously, Kansas.
