Kansas basketball coach Bill Self talks Arkansas loss in March Madness

Check out everything Kansas basketball coach Bill Self and his players had to say following a NCAA tournament loss in March Madness against Arkansas.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — AJ Storr isn’t going to soon forget what it was like to be a part of Kansas basketball’s win this season, in Las Vegas, against Duke.

Storr, speaking after the Jayhawks’ NCAA tournament exit and loss against Arkansas in Providence, Rhode Island, mentioned that KU and Duke are two teams you think about as a kid when you think about college basketball.

He was thankful of the opportunity he had to wear a Kansas (21-13) jersey this season, especially in that moment. Storr started that game against Duke, and finished with 11 points in a 75-72 victory.

But as Storr reflected on the season as a whole, and praised all the seniors he had the chance to play with, the junior guard acknowledged it wasn’t always smooth sailing. That also doesn’t go for just himself. There were challenges, he outlined, that made the past year difficult.

A lot of ups and downs. We stringed a couple of wins together, and then we’d lose some. String some together. Lose some. Up-and-down season.”

Storr joined Kansas as a coveted transfer portal talent from Wisconsin, where he was the team’s leading scorer during the 2023-24 season after earlier spending a stint at St. John’s.

That success didn’t translate consistently with the Jayhawks, where he spent the 2024-25 campaign. He finished with 34 appearances and four starts while averaging 15.7 minutes per game, in addition to collecting 6.1 points and 1.7 rebounds per contest.
