Self coached the Jayhawks to a 33-5 record in the 2015-16 season, falling in the Elite Eight. The team earned the No. 1 overall seed in the 2016 NCAA tournament, following a season in which it won the Big 12 regular season title and tournament.
Kansas also won the Maui Jim Maui Invitational earlier in the year. On January 30, the team picked up a win in the Big 12/SEC Challenge against Kentucky.
