Kansas coach Bill Self will miss Thursday’s first-round NCAA tournament game against Howard as he continues to recover from a recent health problem, the school announced.
Norm Roberts, a Kansas assistant coach who had been a head coach at St. John’s, will continue to coach the team in Self’s absence.
Self, 60, missed the Big 12 tournament last week after undergoing a procedure to treat blocked arteries in his heart. The Hall of Fame coach was released Sunday from a hospital.
Kansas (22-7) went 13-5 in the Big 12, winning a regular-season title for the 17th time during Self’s 20-year tenure, but lost to Texas, 76-56, in the Big 12 tournament final on Saturday.
