Both Kansas coach Bill Self and junior forward Dedric Lawson said Friday that they expect senior guard Lagerald Vick to return to the team after his leave of absence that does not include a specific timetable for a return. But that does not mean that the Jayhawks will spend too much time saving Vick’s spot or operating with him in the game plan while he tends to a personal matter back home in ...
A couple of weeks ago, someone asked me if a 4-, 5-, or 6-way tie for the Big 12 regular season title was possible.

Sure, he wants them to pay attention to scouting reports and game plans and the concept of focusing on what they can control.
