KU will soon begin quest for 13th straight Big 12 Conference hoops title

Kansas’ basketball team is about ready to begin Big 12 Conference play, which means it’s time to discuss … the streak, what else?

“I love the conference championship streak. It may bring a little pressure, but it also brings a lot of pride and motivation,” KU coach Bill Self said. His squad begins its quest for its 13th straight regular-season Big 12 title on Dec. 30 at TCU.

“When you have that carrot out there and the motivation that you can do something special if everybody stays focused through it, I think that will help you get through the dog days in our league, the tough times,” Self added.
