Kansas basketball extends Bill Self’s unreal Big Monday record at Allen Fieldhouse with a Monday night statement win vs. No. 5 Houston.

Bill Self kept his impressive streak alive on Monday after leading Kansas past Houston, 69-56, at Allen Fieldhouse. Self improved his record to 41-0 at home on Big Monday, underscoring the sheer dominance he has imposed at the famed venue since joining Kansas in 2003.

On its good nights, Kansas looks like a bruiser with enough balance and mettle to be a March Madness menace. Can Bill Self count on good nights?

Considering KU (21-7, 11-4) was a 1.5 point underdog Monday, there was serious danger of two straight losses in Allen, which has never happened in Self’s 23 years as Jayhawk coach. Also on the line was KU’s 40-0 record in Big Monday games coached by Self in Allen Fieldhouse.

Kansas’ win over No. 1 Arizona on Monday night, its first ever against a top-ranked team in Allen Fieldhouse in a showdown Bill Self called “as big a game that college basketball has had” this year, was so momentous an occasion as to inspire some admittedly uncharacteristic behavior from the head coach.

Following a win Monday at home vs Houston, Kansas basketball coach Bill Self took some time to praise Cougars coach Kelvin Sampson and his career.
