In an alternate universe, Bill Self could have left Kansas for a Big 12 Conference rival just two years after winning a national championship.

• The Tulsa World reported Friday that Oklahoma State, Self's alma mater, made a "hard sell" last March in an attempt to pry the Hall of Fame coach away from the Jayhawks. The Cowboys went on to hire Steve Lutz to replace the fired Mike Boynton as coach.

  The report said "decision-makers grew increasingly confident that Self was impressed" with Oklahoma State's plan to evolve its basketball program and "was intrigued at the package, complete with competitive salary and budget to pay players."

  Self confirmed to Action Network on Friday that he spoke with the university, though his statement did not necessarily indicate he was interested in leaving Kansas for Stillwater, Okla.

  "I spoke to them, answered questions about the job and offered my opinion about what is needed to win in our league," Self told Action Network. "Which I have done every time the job has opened. They got the right guy (in Steve Lutz).

  "I did join Karsten Creek, one of country's top golf courses, as an out-of-area member but I've never spent a night close to Stillwater in last 20 years unless my team was playing there."

  Self, 62, is an Oklahoma native who played for the Cowboys 1981-85 and worked as an assistant coach there from 1986-93. His first two head coaching jobs, Oral Roberts and Tulsa, were in the state before he took over at Illinois.

  Self has guided Kansas to two national titles (2008 and 2022), coached in four Final Fours and amassed an 827-257 record across four stops.

  The Tulsa World report comes as Kansas (17-9, 8-7 Big 12) prepares to host Oklahoma State (13-13, 5-10) on Saturday, with Self's 23rd-ranked Jayhawks having lost three of their previous four games and five of the past eight.

Fran Dunphy, the La Salle basketball coach who has been a fixture of the Philadelphia Big 5 basketball scene for nearly five decades, will retire at season's end, the school announced Thursday.

• Dunphy, 76, is the winningest head coach in Big 5 history. As of Thursday, he is 623-376 in 999 career games as a head coach at Penn (1989-2006), Temple (2006-19) and La Salle (2022-25).

  "I will forever be thankful to La Salle as well as all my fellow coaches and players that I've been fortunate to work with throughout my coaching career," Dunphy said in a news release. "I am looking forward to finishing this season strong with our team, and as I embark on the next chapter of my life, I could not be happier to stay at La Salle."

  The native of Drexel Hill, Pa., played three varsity seasons at La Salle and graduated in 1970. He began his coaching career as an assistant at Army before taking over at Philadelphia-area high school Malvern Prep from 1977-99.

  He did two stints as an assistant at his alma mater but got his break as a Division I head coach at Penn. Dunphy's accomplishments include 10 Ivy League regular-season championships at Penn, three Atlantic 10 tournament championships at Temple and 17 trips to the NCAA Tournament.

  He was the first coach to lead three different programs in the Big 5 when he took over at La Salle in 2022, coming out of a brief hiatus from the profession to do so.

  La Salle said a national search to find Dunphy's successor would begin immediately.

  "Fran has been instrumental in bringing pride and the high standards of success to La Salle basketball. We will forever be thankful for his contributions to our University as a player, alumnus, coach and mentor," La Salle athletic director Ashwin Puri said. "I am grateful to call Fran a friend and fortunate to continue to rely on his guidance. Once an Explorer, always an Explorer."

  La Salle is 12-15 (4-10 A-10) with four games remaining in the regular season.

  The Wildcats remain without three point guards due to injury, but a patchwork lineup led by Otega Oweh and Amari Williams held off the Commodores in Lexington, Ky.

Oweh wound up with 20 points and seven rebounds, and Williams added 17 points, six boards and four blocked shots.

Duke forward Maliq Brown dislocated his left shoulder during the first half of the third-ranked Blue Devils' 80-62 win over Virginia on Monday, and he won't be back on the floor anytime soon.

• Duke coach Jon Scheyer, speaking to "The Field of 68" on Tuesday, said Brown's imaging was still being completed but that he won't be available Saturday when the Blue Devils take on Illinois in a nonconference showdown at Madison Square Garden in New York.

  "I'm bummed for him, man. He was playing such a great game, too," Scheyer said. "We gotta get him the rest of his imaging, X-rays, MRIs today and we'll know more moving forward. It's something where you're not gonna know -- it takes some time to see how it heals and recovers. So I probably won't even know anything here this week. I think it's gonna take some time to see how he just recovers.

  "Obviously, he's a big part of what we do. But we'll see the next week or so."

  Brown, a junior in his first season in Durham since transferring from Syracuse, is a defensive stopper who averages 2.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.4 steals per game. He is shooting a whopping 76.9 percent on two-point attempts -- which he's only shooting 1.2 of per game.

  Brown has helped Duke establish the sixth-best scoring defense in Division I at 60.8 points allowed per game. In 82 games (25 starts) for Syracuse (2022-24) and Duke, Brown has career averages of 6.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.5 steals per game.

Illinois freshman forward Morez Johnson Jr., a starter for the Fighting Illini over the past eight games, will be out indefinitely after breaking his left wrist while blocking a shot on Saturday.

• Johnson, who is averaging 7.2 points this season but 9.9 since joining the starting lineup on Jan. 23, made a spectacular two-handed rejection on a driving layup by Michigan State's Tre Holloman. He will miss "a good bit" of time with the wrist in a cast, coach Brad Underwood said on Monday.

  The Fighting Illini (17-9, 9-7 Big Ten) have a road game against No. 11 Wisconsin on Tuesday.

  Johnson, Mr. Basketball in Illinois in 2024, played 25 minutes in the 79-65 loss to visiting Michigan State and finished with 17 points and five rebounds. He added two blocks and two steals. Johnson is averaging 6.6 boards for the season and 6.3 as a starter.

  The injury happened with just under eight minutes left in the second half, although Underwood noted that Johnson stayed in the game for most of the remainder of the game.

  "He hit the floor pretty hard and was tough enough to bounce up and just say, ‘Tape it.' That impacted a couple of his close misses at the rim as well late in the game," Underwood said.

With a month before Selection Sunday, the Division I Men's Basketball Committee unveiled its top 16 teams Saturday on the Bracket Preview Show, and the list was dominated by the Southeastern Conference, as expected.

• Three of the top four seeds -- No. 1 Auburn, No. 2 Alabama, No. 3 Duke and No. 4 Florida -- are from the SEC, with conference members Tennessee and Texas A&M right behind them.

  In all six teams in the top 10 are from the SEC with No. 10 Kentucky included.

  "The narrative since the season began was how strong Southeastern Conference teams are, and that's reflective in this Top 16 reveal," said Bubba Cunningham, the committee chair and athletic director at North Carolina.

  "While each team is evaluated independent of their conference affiliation, there's no escaping the fact that the league is on course for a historic season in terms of representation in the tournament, specifically the highly sought-after top 16 seeds. Having five of the top six teams being from one conference is equally impressive as it is unusual."

  Auburn was selected as the No. 1 overall seed thanks to its 13 wins in 15 Quadrant 1 games, the nation's best.

  Since the start of the bracket preview show in 2017, all four No. 1 seeds remained as No. 1 seeds just once -- 2023 -- in the NCAA Tournament. Six times, however, three of the early No. 1 seeds held that spot on Selection Sunday.

  The committee's preview show has turned out to be remarkably accurate, with 84 percent of the teams landing on the top four lines in February staying there in March.

  The committee placed the 16 teams into the four regions this way, with a team's overall seed in parentheses:

  South

  1. Auburn (1)

  2. Texas A&M (6)

  3. Wisconsin (11)

  4. Texas Tech (13)

  Midwest

  1. Alabama (2)

  2. Purdue (7)

  3. Iowa St. (9)

  4. Kansas (15)

  West

  1. Florida (4)

  2. Houston (8)

  3. Kentucky (10)

  4. Michigan (14)

  East

  1. Duke (3)

  2. Tennessee (5)

  3. Arizona (12)

  4. St. John's (16)

  Cunningham said the process was a good walk-through for the committee, which will unveil the 68 seeded teams on March 16.

  "With five first-year committee members, this was an important meeting, not only for the purpose of today's unveiling but also to educate them about how selecting, seeding and bracketing work," he said. "Going through this process will be valuable experience for them when we do it for real next month."

  The tournament begins with the First Four in Dayton, Ohio, on March 18-19 and culminates with the Final Four on April 5 and 7 in San Antonio.

Forward Derrion Reid is expected to return from a lower-body injury on Saturday as Alabama takes on visiting Auburn in a key matchup between the top two teams in the nation, ESPN reported.

• Reid missed the past two games, an 85-81 win over Arkansas last Saturday and a 103-80 victory over Texas on Tuesday.

  ESPN reported that while Alabama coach Nate Oats said Reid will be listed as a game-time decision, Reid is "95 percent certain" to return when the top-ranked Tigers (22-2, 10-1 SEC) and the No. 2 Crimson Tide (21-3, 10-1) tip off.

  Reid reportedly has been practicing for the two games he missed and has responded well but will need to pass one more pre-game test before taking the court Saturday.

  The 6-foot-7 Reid is averaging 7.2 points and 3.4 rebounds in his freshman season with the Crimson Tide.

Florida center Micah Handlogten is ready to return from the broken left leg sustained in last year's Southeastern Conference championship game.

• The 7-foot-1 junior said on Friday that he plans to join the third-ranked Gators (21-3, 8-3 SEC) for Saturday's game against South Carolina (10-14, 0-11) in Gainesville, Fla.

  "I'm back," Handlogten said. "I'm ready to get out and hoop for the Gators."

  Handlogten initially planned to redshirt this season after having a rod and two screws inserted into his leg following his gruesome injury during Florida's 86-67 loss to Auburn on March 17.

  By returning now, Handlogten can help Florida weather ankle injuries to starting big man Alex Condon and backup forward Sam Alexis.

  Handlogten averaged 5.3 points and 6.9 rebounds in 33 games (32 starts) during his first season with the Gators in 2023-24. He transferred to Florida after posting 7.6 points, 9.8 rebounds and 2.3 blocks in 32 games (all starts) at Marshall in 2022-23.

No. 9 St. John's added one more game at Madison Square Garden to its schedule.

• The Big East leaders announced Thursday that their home finale March 1 against Seton Hall would be moved from its campus in Queens to MSG.

  Between Carnesecca Arena and MSG, St. John's is a perfect 15-0 in home games this season.

  The Red Storm (21-4, 12-2 Big East) are enjoying their best season in years under the guidance of coach Rick Pitino in his second year. Despite a two-point loss Wednesday at Villanova, St. John's owns a one-game lead in the conference over No. 24 Creighton.

  Creighton will meet St. John's on Sunday afternoon at MSG to battle for first place. The Red Storm's only other loss in Big East play was by one point at Creighton on New Year's Eve.

  A week and a half after St. John's hosts Seton Hall, the teams will be back at MSG for the Big East tournament.

  Seton Hall (6-18, 1-12) is in last place in the conference.

JT Toppin scored a career-high 41 points and secured a steal with 33 seconds remaining in the second overtime as No. 12 Texas Tech escaped with a wild 111-106 win over Arizona State on Wednesday in Lubbock, Texas.

• Toppin logged a total of eight points in the OTs. He made 17 of 22 shots from the field overall and pulled down a game-high 15 rebounds. His dunk on an assist from Darrion Williams gave the Red Raiders (19-5, 10-3 Big 12) a three-point lead with just under a minute remaining in the second overtime.

  Shawn Phillips Jr.'s jumper pulled the Sun Devils (12-12, 3-10) within one, but Texas Tech made four of six free throws in the waning seconds to hold on for the victory.

  In a tie game with less than 20 seconds remaining in the first overtime, the Red Raiders' Christian Anderson poked the ball loose from Alston Mason near midcourt, which appeared to set up a game-winning fastbreak layup for Kerwin Walton. However, Phillips ran him down and made a game-saving block off the glass.

  Simeon Wilcher made a 3-pointer with 27.3 seconds left to put the Red Storm (21-4, 12-2 Big East) in front. However, Jhamir Brickus made an extra pass to Perkins on the other end, and he drained the decisive shot from the right wing.

  Wilcher missed a double-clutch 3-pointer on the final possession for St. John's. That sealed the third straight win for Villanova (15-10, 8-6), which also avenged a loss to the Red Storm on Jan. 11.

Kentucky guard Lamont Butler appeared to re-injure his left shoulder during the second half of the 15th-ranked Wildcats' home game against No. 5 Tennessee on Tuesday night.

• Butler dove for a loose ball with 8:40 left in regulation and appeared to be in pain after landing on his left arm. He left the game, and Kentucky later said that he would not return.

Iowa State forward Milan Momcilovic will return to the court on Saturday afternoon for the No. 8 Cyclones' game against visiting TCU, head coach TJ Otzelberger told ESPN.

  "(Momcilovic) feels great and is excited to return," Otzelberger said.

  The 6-foot-8 Momcilovic started 14 of Iowa State's first 15 games this season and is averaging 10.3 points and 3.5 rebounds.

Indiana coach Mike Woodson will step down at season's end, vice president and athletic director Scott Dolson confirmed in a statement Friday.

• News broke Thursday that the sides had begun to discuss parting ways as Woodson winds down his fourth season on the job.

  "During a meeting with Coach Woodson on Wednesday, he informed me he wanted to step down as our program's head coach at the end of the current season," Dolson wrote. "He said it had been weighing on his mind for a while, and that it was an emotional and difficult decision. We have had subsequent thoughtful conversations about his decision and his desire to ensure that the program is in the best position it can be moving forward.

  "At an appropriate time, Coach Woodson will articulate his feelings about his decision and his experiences these last four years."

  That time figures to be Saturday after the Hoosiers host No. 24 Michigan, which is coached by Indiana alum Dusty May.

  "It's clear to me from our discussions in the last several days that his No. 1 priority is for the attention to be off him, and instead focused on uniting Hoosier Nation in support of our student-athletes, coaches, and, most importantly, the program," Dolson said. "We still have much to play for this season as we prepare for Saturday's game against Michigan and the remainder of the 2024-25 season, and we want to encourage Hoosier fans to rally around the program and support it in the same positive way that Hoosier fans did during Mike's All-America and Big Ten MVP playing career."

  Woodson played for Bobby Knight at Indiana from 1976-80 and ranks sixth on the school's career points list with 2,061. He averaged 19.8 points and 5.6 rebounds in 104 games.

  Indiana is 14-9 (5-7 Big Ten) and not out of the running for the NCAA Tournament yet, but the Hoosiers have been in a downward spiral with a 1-6 record in their past seven games.

  Woodson owns a 77-49 record in three-plus seasons with Indiana. He guided the Hoosiers to the NCAA Tournament in each of his first two seasons and won a game in both bids.

  Dolson went on to call Woodson a "class act" who helped Indiana evolve in the changing college sports landscape.

  "No one loves IU Basketball more than he does," Dolson said. "I want to thank him for coming back to Bloomington and accepting the challenge of rebuilding our program and re-connecting it with its past and its foundation."

Indiana coach Mike Woodson is unlikely to be coach of the Hoosiers past this season, according to multiple reports on Thursday.

• Talks have reportedly begun about a parting of ways in the wake of Indiana's four-game losing streak.

  Woodson played for Bobby Knight at Indiana from 1976-80 and ranks sixth on the school's career points list with 2,061. He averaged 19.8 points and 5.6 rebounds in 104 games.
