Self worried about Jayhawks

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) _ No. 1 Kansas is deep and talented, confident and committed. Short of a pratfall in the Big 12 tournament, the Jayhawks will probably own the overall top seed in the NCAA tournament. That means they'll play the first two rounds in Oklahoma City and St. Louis _ easy drives for fans eager for a second national championship in three years. So why is coach Bill Self so worried? Self remembers a vital but hard-to-define quality in his 2008 NCAA championship team that's sorely lacking in this year's team. The 2008 Jayhawks were senior-dominated and brimmed with tournament experience. They knew how to take a punch and keep everything in focus. The 2010 Jayhawks have just one player _ guard Sherron Collins _ with any appreciable experience in the Final Four.
