Kansas coach Bill Self was hospitalized Monday for IV fluids and did not travel with the team to Colorado. The school said he was feeling 'under the weather' and was taken to LMH Health as a precaution. Self, 63, has a history of health issues, including heart procedures in 2023 and 2024. The Hall of Fame coach has led the Jayhawks since 2003, winning two national titles.

Self’s absence comes during a challenging season for Kansas, which holds a 13-5 record and is 3-2 in Big 12 play. The team’s fortunes have been tied to star guard Darryn Peterson, the projected No. 1 NBA draft pick. Peterson missed nine games with a hamstring injury but returned for five straight starts, including last week’s upset of then-No. 2 Iowa State.

The Jayhawks face Colorado on Tuesday and rival Kansas State on Saturday. While Self is expected to return, his health history remains a concern for a program navigating a pivotal season. Kansas fans will watch closely for updates on his condition and the team’s performance without its longtime leader on the bench.
