Kansas coach Bill Self plans to return vs. Kansas State, and Peterson is questionable for the game
January 22, 2026
Kansas coach Bill Self plans to be on the sideline when the Jayhawks face Kansas State. He recently had a brief hospital visit for “abnormal” chest pain but feels good now. Self missed the team’s trip to Colorado, where they won 75-69 under former Kansas star Jacque Vaughn. Self has had heart issues before, including stents for blocked arteries. He watched the Colorado game on TV and joked about being an “armchair quarterback.” Freshman guard Darryn Peterson, a potential top NBA draft pick, sprained his ankle in the win over the Buffaloes and it’s unclear whether he will play against the Wildcats.
