Bill Self Joins Elite 800-Win Coaching Group

Bill Self, the head coach of the Kansas Jayhawks, achieved his 800th career win following an 84-66 victory over UNC Wilmington at Allen Fieldhouse. This milestone places Self among the elite group of active Division I coaches with 800 victories, joining John Calipari and Rick Barnes. Despite a challenging first half with only a five-point lead, Kansas pulled ahead with a decisive second-half performance. Key contributions came from Hunter Dickinson with a double-double and Dajuan Harris Jr. leading in scoring. The Jayhawks, who shot only 6 of 25 from beyond the arc, now prepare to face No. 12 Duke in the Vegas Showdown. This achievement comes as Self recently surpassed Phog Allen as the winningest coach in Kansas history, with an overall record of 800-248.
