Bill Self was angry at halftime. Dedric Lawson can attest to that.
The stoppage was right after a defensive meltdown, with Kansas’ players failing to get back following a Lagerald Vick three-pointer with 6 seconds left in the first half. Texas’ Jase Febres beat everyone down the floor, raced past the Jayhawks’ final defender, then missed an uncontested dunk.
Self started his blowup on the court. He flung his fists twice in the air, screaming in the direction of point guard Devon Dotson.
The message continued in KU’s locker room.
“He was pretty upset by not getting back,” Lawson said.
