Bill Self Still Doesn T Want To Schedule Game Vs. Wichita State

So all those who want the Jayhawks and Shockers to face off in a battle for supremacy in Kansas in the 2014-15 season, you most likely won’t see it.

Said Self to the Kansas City Star in December of his reasoning not to play Wichita State: “This isn’t knocking Wichita State,” Self said. “But if it was best for our program, I would reach out to them about scheduling them. But it’s not. I’ve heard a lot of talk about them wanting to play us so bad; Gregg Marshall’s never contacted me about playing.”

What Self is trying to say is, if Kansas schedules a game vs. Wichita and wins, it’s a game it should win. And if the Jayhawks lose, it’s looked upon as a bad loss because Wichita plays in a mid-major conference.

You can see Self’s point, but considering how great the Shockers are playing, it would be great to see them go head-to-head.

Maybe we’ll get our wish in the NCAA Tournament. The Shockers are in line to be a No. 1 seed, and Kansas very well could end up as a No. 2.
