AUSTIN, Texas — Usually an emphatic presence on the sideline, Kansas coach Bill Self seemed subdued.
For most of the second half, Self alternated between holding his hands on his hips and sitting on his chair while watching the game silently.
After winning the Big 12 title outright on Wednesday with Texas’ loss to TCU, the Jayhawks were playing for pride and improving their case for the No. 1-overall seed in the NCAA Tournament in their regular-season finale against the Longhorns. Self’s lack of visible emotion was a telling sign of Kansas’ play on Saturday at Moody Center.
