LAWRENCE — Bill Self was joking. Well, sort of.
The 13th-year coach was his normal charismatic self in front of 255 fans at the Topeka Jayhawk Club roundball luncheon Friday at the Ramada Inn, busting jokes in one sentence before breaking down his team’s issues the next.
Which led to the funny line. Or was he being serious?
“I know my opinions fluctuate from day to day, so I’m sure that yours do, too. But if somebody could just tell me who the hell to play at the 5, I’d really appreciate it,” Self said as the room erupted in laughter.
