Bill Self Becomes Winningest Coach at Kansas

In a significant victory at the Champions Classic, the top-ranked Kansas Jayhawks defeated Michigan State 77-69, marking Bill Self's ascension as the winningest coach in Kansas basketball history with 591 wins. Hunter Dickinson led the Jayhawks with 28 points and 12 rebounds, while Kansas managed to pull ahead after overcoming a shooting slump, executing a pivotal 14-2 run. Self surpassed the previous record held by Phog Allen, who had 590 wins, and he acknowledged the achievement while emphasizing the contributions of his players. Despite a late-game effort from Michigan State's Jaxon Kohler, who tied the game at 52, the Spartans struggled with their shooting, converting just 3 of 24 attempts from beyond the arc. Kansas continues its season with future matchups against Oakland and other prominent teams. This victory adds to the momentum built from their recent win over No. 10 North Carolina.
