Bill Self meeting with the media, says being picked to finish 2nd is probably where they should be.
Doesn't see being picked to win or not picked to win as that big of a deal.
He chose Baylor, although he can't pick his own team. #kubball
Self said in many ways he thinks the team has turned the page from the national championship, but tomorrow with Late Night in the Phog will really turn it. #kubball
Self said he has seen the national championship ring. Thinks it looks good. #kubball
Self said he thinks this team will be pretty good defensively, but it doesn't have the rim protection or inside scoring that he's looking for at this point. #kubball
Self said you can make a case that Dajuan Harris Jr. and Jalen Wilson are their two best players right now. #kubball
Self said, when it comes to player injury-health, Bobby Pettiford Jr. would be the one he's concerned with.
Tweaked hamstring. Struggled with injuries so far during his career. #kubball
Self said they didn't recruit Zuby or Ernest to be stars as freshmen, but the two are ahead of schedule. Doesn't want to compare them to someone like McCormack or Azubuike, but impressive. #kubball
Self doesn't anticipate anyone redshirting among their freshmen. #kubball

Leipold said he told the team Monday he was disappointed with the loss, not discouraged.
Described it as one of the best college football games of the weekend and of the season in general. #kufball
On Jalon Daniels' status, Leipold said Daniels didn't practice today and won't play this week. Adds that it has not been decided that Daniels' season is over. #kufball
Lance Leipold said Trevor Wilson is back practicing with the team, joining full-squad activities.
Jalon Daniels didn't practice and is doubtful for Oklahoma. Day-to-day. #kufball
Concerning Jason Bean, Leipold said they're always going to tweak to a player's strengths. But what #kufball wants to do offensively is what it wants to do offensively.
Leipold highlights that #kufball had 15 fourth quarter penalties last season and already has 14 this season. Not acceptable. Can't keep plying that way.
