Kansas basketball coach Bill Self didn’t expect guard Wayne Selden and forward Landen Lucas to be his team’s two representatives at the news conference after they labored in the opening 36 minutes of the Jayhawks’ 66-60 victory over No. 19 Baylor on Tuesday night.

“I got onto them hard at halftime — maybe too hard,” Self said. “They really struggled the first half.”

The two juniors were better over the game’s final four minutes. Lucas provided a crucial offensive rebound and layup, while Selden had two offensive boards and four points to help KU pull away.
