"They’re different, but they still enjoy the same things even though they’re different," Self said. "One’s talkative, one’s quiet. One’s very outgoing, one’s not. But they complement each other very well."
"People have talked about winning 13 in a row, which would be awesome," Self began. "But it’s not 13, it’s one to this team and they need to focus in like that, that this is the first time for them to compete together."

Going winless in the conference, two seasons into his five-year contract, might be enough to excite the Kansas faithful to beg for terminating his contract.
