Bill Self achieved a historic milestone by becoming the winningest coach in Kansas basketball history with his 591st victory, after the Jayhawks defeated Michigan State 77-69 in the Champions Classic. Despite a subpar performance, with his team shooting under 30% from beyond the arc and only one player scoring over 11 points, the win affirmed Kansas’ dominant start to the season at 3-0.

Kansas remains ranked No. 1 in the CBS Sports Top 25. The Jayhawks look to build on this success in their upcoming game against Oakland on Saturday.
