In Self's four seasons, the Jayhawks (22-1, 7-1 Big 12) have sandwiched NCAA Tournament region-final defeats around stunning first-round losses to Bucknell and Bradley. If Self is ever going to reach the Final Four, this is the season. Self talks about his team heading into today's key conference game against Baylor. What do you think about the job done by Baylor coach Scott Drew? When he took it over, the program was at rock bottom. They didn't even get a chance to play non-conference games. To see that program come to where it is now, that's a testimony to the job their staff has done. You don't win games without good players. Their talent level is very good. Have you seen the competitive level rise as you've gone from non-conference games to Big 12 games? When you get into the teeth of your schedule, the other team has comparable athletes to what you have. We may not have played to the defensive level that it appeared because we were going against players that couldn't beat us off the bounce. We have to get better. We will get better. Does your team need to pick up its level as the season winds down? We only have four more home games left. These guys only get to run out of the tunnel four more times. The reality for the seniors is, "Hey, it is coming to an end." There should be more of a sense of urgency. I hope that's the case. What do think about the resignation of Texas Tech coach Bob Knight? I'm disappointed - for selfish reasons. It's like when Barry Sanders retired from football. It was like he couldn't do that to all the people out there, retiring that early. That's how I feel about Coach Knight, because he's great for our league. Selfishly, I was looking forward to him coming to Allen Fieldhouse one more time." Joey Johnston ...more

St. Augustine — The South Florida Community College softball team opened the season by competing in the Triple Crown Tournament over the weekend. The Panthers went 1-4 in their five games losing on Friday to Coastal Georgia 5-2. On Saturday, SFCC split a pair of games, losing to Florida Community College of Jacksonville 8-0, but the Panthers bounced back to defeat St. Johns 2-1. SFCC's Lindsey Andree picked up the win on the mound. "We looked nervous and didn't make plays that we normally make," said SFCC coach Carlos Falla. "We had some kids play well and we had some that didn't play up to their potential. "They are learning that you have to come to play every day and that you can't let an error in the field or a bad at-bat get you down. ...more
