Head Coach Bill Self Oklahoma State, 1985 * Sixth season at KU (157-36) * 16th season overall (364-141) In his sixth season at Kansas, Bill Self is 157-36 (.813 percent). Overall, Self is in his 16th season with a 364-141 (.721 percent) record. In Bill Self’s five seasons as head coach at KU he has won one national championship, four regularseason Big 12 titles and three league tournament championships. In his first trip to the Final Four in 2008, Self’s team won the title. He was named just the eighth head coach in Kansas basketball history on April 21, 2003. In the past five seasons, all at KU, Self is the winningest coach in NCAA Division I with an 81.6 winning percentage (142-32). Included are a combined 70 victories in the last two years. Self has guided his teams to 10-straight 20-win seasons and 11 overall. Self has won eight league crowns in the last 10 years, including four straight at KU. Those other two seasons resulted in runner-up conference finishes. The 2008 Winged Foot Award recipient for winning the national title, Self is a four-time finalist for the Naismith Coach of the Year Award (2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003), and The Sporting News named him National Coach of the Year in 2000. In addition, Self is one of four coaches in NCAA Division I history to have led three different teams - Tulsa, Illinois and Kansas - to the NCAA Elite Eight. A member of the USA Basketball Competition Committee and board member for the National Association of Basketball Coaches, Self has coached three league player(s) of the year and 36 all-conference performers. Nominated for two ESPY Awards for best team and best game, the 2007-08 Kansas team will go down as one of the best in school history. Ranked seventh or higher all season, KU won a school-record 37 games in winning the school’s fifth overall and third NCAA national championship. Kansas claimed its fourth straight Big 12 regular-season championship and third consecutive Big 12 tourney title. Additionally, a school record five Jayhawks were chosen in the 2008 NBA Draft. The 2006-07 season was not only historic for Kansas basketball but also in the career of Self. As KU won its 50th league title and 1,900th all-time victory, Self won his 300th career game with a road victory at Missouri. Additionally, KU was preseason No. 1 by Sports Illustrated and was ranked in the Associated Press Top 10 for most of the season. Self was named the 2006 Big 12 Coach of the Year and finished fourth in the Associated Press national coach of the year voting after guiding Kansas to a 25-8 record. The Jayhawks entered the 2005-06 season unranked and with less than 15 percent returning scoring and rebounding, yet Self orchestrated KU to a 15-2 record in its last 17 games, including a Big 12 Tournament championship to go along with its league’s regular-season title. In 2004-05, Kansas not only won a share of the Big 12 regular-season championship, but also opened the season ranked No. 1 nationally in the Associated Press and ESPN/USA Today Coaches’ polls. KU was ranked in the top 10 for all but the final poll of 2004-05. In his inaugural season at Kansas - 2003-04 - Self guided the Jayhawks to 24 wins and the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight. He tied former KU head coach Dick Harp for the most wins by a first-year KU coach, and only Harp’s 1956-57 team - which advanced to the NCAA title game - went further under a first-year coach than Self’s Elite Eight squad. Self came to KU from the University of Illinois, where he guided the Fighting Illini to a 78-24 record over three seasons, including two Big Ten regular-season championships, a Big Ten tournament title and three straight NCAA tourney appearances. In Self’s first season in Champaign, the Illini advanced to the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight. Prior to his stint at Illinois, Self coached at Tulsa from 1998 to 2000, where he led the Golden Hurricane to a record of 74-27 in three seasons, including trips to the NCAA Tournament in 1999 and 2000. Tulsa went 32-5 in 2000, setting a school single-season record for victories and made the NCAA Elite Eight. Self began his head coaching career at Oral Roberts, where he resurrected the program. Before Self took over the reins, ORU had compiled the worst record in the program’s history with a 5-22 mark in 1992-93. Although Self’s first ORU team managed just six victories in 1993-94, the win total increased to 10 the following year. In his third season at the helm, Self guided ORU to an 18-9 record. In 1996-97, ORU registered a 21-7 mark and made the school’s first postseason tournament appearance since 1983-84, receiving an invitation to the NIT. Prior to his appointment at ORU, Self spent seven seasons as an assistant coach

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A comeback effort fell short for the 25th-ranked Kansas basketball team as the Jayhawks fell to Massachusetts 61-60 at the Sprint Center in Kansas City on Saturday afternoon. The loss dropped KU to 7-2 on the season, while UMass improved to 3-6. Trailing 61-60 Kansas had the game’s final possession after a UMass timeout with 13.3 second remaining.

UMass led 61-57 after Chris Lowe made the first of two free throws with 36 seconds left in the game. However, Collins, who was six of 19 shooting, including 0-of-six from three-point range at that point, drilled a long three-pointer to pull KU within 61-60 with just 27.8 seconds left in the contest.

LAWRENCE, Kan. - Junior Sherron Collins and sophomore Cole Aldrich combined for 48 points and 15 rebounds as Kansas held off No. 14/18 Tennessee, 92-85, in a nonconference men's basketball game in front of a thunderous crowd at Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas dominated the contest for much of the afternoon, led by the high-low combination of Collins and Aldrich. Collins scored a career-high 26 points and dished out nine assists. Aldrich recorded his seventh double-double of the season with 22 points and 10 rebounds. The sophomore matched a career high with six blocked shots. Perhaps the tandem's most important stretch came with just under four minutes remaining. After a Cameron Tatum three-pointer cut the Jayhawk lead to seven, Collins made a pair of free throws and then fed Aldrich for a two-handed dunk on the next trip down the floor. While Aldrich and Collins were the main acts, the tandem had a strong supporting cast Saturday. Sophomore Brady Morningstar and freshman Tyshawn Taylor each scored 12 points and combined for nine assists. Tyrel Reed added eight points, while Marcus Morris chipped in seven points and six rebounds off the bench. KU exploded out of the gate, scoring 12 of the first 17 points in the game and grabbed a 25-9 advantage in the first eight minutes of action. Collins scored 14 of his 26 in the first half. Tennessee cut the lead to nine at the end of the first half, but could not get closer than three possessions away in the second half. KU shot 51.5 percent from the field, including 7-for-16 from three-point range. Kansas also held a 44-38 advantage in rebounds, including 27-19 on the defensive glass. Kansas' defense held Tennessee to just 39.4 percent shooting and forced 13 turnovers. Smith led the Volunteers with 21 points.

LAWRENCE, Kan. - Cole Aldrich scored a career-high 24 points and added 13 rebounds for his eighth doubledouble of the year to lead Kansas basketball to a 91-84 victory against Siena on Tuesday night. The Jayhawks led throughout the game, but Siena never backed down, pulling within five at 87-82 near the end of the contest. However, Kansas made 12 of 14 free throws in the game's final three minutes to clinch the victory. Sherron Collins scored 18 points, while Tyrel Reed added a career-high 14 for the Jayhawks. Siena was led by Ronald Moore, who had 18 in leading four different Saints in double figures. Aldrich surpassed his previous scoring best of 23 against Coppin State as he hit nine of 13 shots from the field and six of nine from the free throw line. It marked the third straight game the sophomore center reached the 20-point plateau as he had 20 vs. Albany and 22 vs. Tennessee prior to Tuesday. Kansas led by as many as 20 points in the first half and as many as 16 early in the second half at 63-47. However, Siena went on a 7-0 run to cut the lead to 63-54 and then pulled within 69-65 after a stretch with three straight threepointers. Collins stopped the bleeding and energized the crowd with a three-pointer that sparked a 6-0 run as Kansas went up 75-65. For the game Kansas shot 47.5 percent from the field, but made 26 of 32 free throws. The Jayhawks also outrebounded Siena 42-29, including a 25-16 advantage in the second half. Down 9-5 at the first media timeout, Kansas went on a 25-1 run, including a stretch with 18 straight points to build a 30-10 advantage with 9:46 remaining in the first half. Both teams shot better than 50 percent from the field in the first half and while Siena made four of seven threepointers, Kansas made six of 13 from behind the arc.

EAST LANSING, Mich. – Despite 25 points from junior Sherron Collins and outscoring Michigan State 44-38 in the second half, the Kansas fell to the No. 8/12 Spartans, 75-62, at the Breslin Center. Kansas opened the second half with a seven-point run from Collins to cut its 19-point deficit to 12 with just over three minutes into the half. The teams continued to trade points for much of the half until a Tyrel Reed three-pointer put the Jayhawks within 15 at 60-45 with 6:08 left to play. Not long after, Reed hit another shot from beyond the arc along with a deuce from the elbow, while Collins added a pair of free throws to close the gap to nine points with just over four minutes to go. Collins, who scored 21 of his 25 points in the last 20 minutes, kept KU in the game going 4-for-4 from the charity stripe and adding another bucket, but the Jayhawks were forced to foul as time expired and the Spartans went 9-for-10 at the free throw line in the last two minutes of the game to hold onto the lead. Sophomore center Cole Aldrich added 14 points and 11 rebounds in the effort for his third straight double-double. Sophomore Tyrel Reed also finished with double-digit points scoring 10, all in the final 10 minutes of the game. Sophomore Brady Morningstar opened the game with a steal then dished the ball up the court where freshman Tyshawn Taylor threw down a dunk for the first score of the game. Over the next five minutes, Kansas would expand its lead by as much as six. With 15:13 left on the clock, Aldrich layed one in to put KU up 11-6, but Michigan State would go on a 19-3 run over the next 10 minutes to takeover the lead, which it kept for the remainder of the contest.

2008-09 Boxscores Game 19 Kansas 82, Iowa State 67 Jan. 24, 2009 * Hilton Coliseum (12,170) * Ames, Iowa AMES, Iowa - Sherron Collins matched his career-high with 26 points to help lead KU over Iowa State, 82-67 Saturday afternoon at the Hilton Coliseum. He became the 51st player in KU history to reach the 1,000 career point milestone as he entered the day with 999 points. Iowa State’s Craig Brackins scored 42 points for the Cyclones, finishing two points shy of a Big 12 Conference record. It was the most points by a KU opponent since Oklahoma State's Randy Rutherford scored 45 points against KU on March 5, 1995. It was also the seventh-most points ever scored against the Jayhawks. With a 44-38 lead entering the second half, Kansas extended its advantage to 14 points with a 10-2 run over a three minute span capped by a Cole Aldrich jumper at the 15 minute mark. A couple more buckets by Aldrich and a two-pointer from Markieff Morris gave the Jayhawks their largest lead of the game at 17 points with just 11 minutes left in the game. Iowa State didn’t let up, answering back with a 13-2 run to cut its deficit to just six points at 66-60 and 6:33 left on the clock. Aldrich, who ended the game with his 11th double-double of the season with 16 points and 12 rebounds, stopped the Cyclones’ momentum with a dunk on KU’s next trip down the court and with that, ISU never got closer than eight points. Sophomore Tyrel Reed and freshman Tyshawn Taylor each scored 10 points, while Mario Little and Brady Morningstar each had nine in the effort. Little finished 4-for-4 from the field and has made 11 straight shots dating back to the 18:12 mark of the second half against Kansas State on Jan. 13. During the first half, Kansas hit three of its first four shots, including a pair of three-pointers from Collins, to open the game with an 8-0 run.
