Bill Self returns to face his alma mater Tuesday night as No. 6 Kansas (10-2) travels to Stillwater to take on Oklahoma State inside Gallagher-Iba Arena. The Jayhawks enter the game having won 10 of their last 11 games on the season, with bounceback wins over TCU and Oklahoma this past week after an inexplicable beatdown they took at the hands of Texas to open up the new year. But GIA has been a struggle bus Self’s ridden often in recent years.
He’s 22-13 all-time against OSU, including 21-10 as KU’s coach, but just 6-9 inside GIA. That’s a juicy undertone to monitor Tuesday night in what may be one of the biggest and best college hoops games on the main slate.
