Kansas Coach Bill Self Hospitalized Before Game

Kansas basketball coach Bill Self was hospitalized on Monday after feeling unwell, leading to his absence from the team's trip to Colorado for Tuesday's game. The school reported that Self sought medical attention as a precaution and improved after receiving IV fluids. His participation in the upcoming game is undecided.

This recent health concern for the 63-year-old coach follows a history of heart issues. In 2023, Self missed significant portions of the season, including the Big 12 and NCAA tournaments, due to a heart condition that led to catheterization and the insertion of two stents. Additional stents were placed in July of the same year.

Self, a Hall of Fame inductee in 2017, has a distinguished career with the Jayhawks, leading them to national championships in 2008 and 2022. He holds the program's record for wins with a 609-156 record over his 23 seasons.
