Kansas’ Bill Self hospitalized: Coach will miss Jayhawks’ game vs. West Virginia in Big 12 Tournament

Kansas coach Bill Self will miss the Jayhawks’ quarterfinal matchup against West Virginia on Thursday after being hospitalized, the school announced just hours before the 3 p.m. ET tipoff. No further information has been provided about his condition at this time.

“Kansas Men’s Basketball Coach Bill Self will miss today’s Big 12 Tournament game as he recovers from an illness,” KU said in a statement. “Assistant Coach Norm Roberts will serve as the acting head coach. Self is doing well and receiving great care at the University of Kansas Health System.”

No. 3 Kansas is 25-6 and projects as a No. 1 seed in CBS Sports’ Bracketology forecast, according to expert Jerry Palm. The Jayhawks won the Big 12 regular-season title, the 17th of Self’s career at KU.
