Bill Self sees no easy path to a Big 12 regular-season men’s basketball championship during the upcoming 2024-25 season. The 22nd-year KU coach discussed the matter Wednesday on the Field of 64 podcast — one day before the 16-team Big 12 released this season’s slate of conference games.

The Kansas Jayhawks men’s basketball team will open the Big 12 portion of its 2024-25 season schedule against West Virginia on Dec. 31 at Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas’ schedule for the upcoming campaign features three ESPN Big Monday games. The Big Monday games will be against Iowa State on Feb. 3, at Colorado on Feb. 24 and at Houston on Mar. 3.
