Self not pleased with post defense

Valparaiso had 28 points in the paint on Monday night, which made Kansas coach Bill Self a little queasy — even with a 35-point margin of victory. The culprits were most certainly big men Marcus Morris,

Markieff Morris and Thomas Robinson.

"Statues guard better," Self quipped.

Johnson still out

Self said that sophomore guard Elijah Johnson, who sat out his second straight game due to undisclosed disciplinary reasons, would have a chance to suit up again for Friday night's game if he took care of his responsibilities this week.
