Bill Self talks ahead of Big 12 Tournament

OFF AT THE T-MOBILE CENTER IN KANSAS CITY. BUT THE JAYHAWKS AND WILDCAT NEED TO WAIT ANOTHER NIGHT BEFORE THEY START TO PLAY. THEY WERE ABLE TO GET PRACTICES IN. TODAY, THOUGH, THE JAYHAWKS ARE THE DEFENDING NATIONAL CHAMPS. THEY ALSO WON THE BIG 12 TOURNAMENT LAST YEAR. THIS IS A VERY DIFFERENT TEAM FROM LAST SEASON’S SQUAD. WE KNOW THAT HEAD COACH BILL SELF TELLS ME HE DOESN’T USE HIS BENCH AS MUCH THIS SEASON, SO THE ROUTINE CHANGES TO GET THESE GUYS MORE REST. WE’RE TRYING TO LIMIT REPS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE IN PRACTICE, SO I’M LIKE,

I’VE, WE’VE TAKEN TWO DAYS OFF A WEEK, FOUR WEEKS NOW, YOU KNOW, WE DIDN’T THIS WEEK. WE ACTUALLY PRACTICED ON SUNDAY OFF IN PRACTICE ON MONDAY
