Kansas men’s basketball coach Bill Self will miss the entirety of the Big 12 tournament due to illness, according to reports.

Assistant coach Norm Roberts filled in for Self as acting head coach in the Jayhawks’ 78-61 win over West Virginia on Thursday, and initial reports suggested Self would only be out for Thursday’s game.

The Jayhawks are 26-6 overall with the win over the Mountaineer. They will face Iowa State in the semifinals on Friday. FOX Sports NCAA Basketball expert Mike DeCourcy currently projects Kansas as a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
