LAWRENCE — Kansas coach Bill Self believes that unbeaten Wichita State deserves a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament — if it beats Missouri State on Saturday and then wins the Missouri Valley tournament.That doesn’t mean he’s changed his stance on scheduling the Shockers.The subject is brought up at least a few times every year, and was broached again Thursday. Self said he’ll continue to schedule games solely in the best interest of Kansas, which means home games to pad the coffers and road games in places advantageous to recruiting.So rather than a dangerous game just down the road from Lawrence, the Jayhawks prefer to face marquee names such as Duke and Georgetown in places such as Chicago and New York.“I don’t want to say never, but I mean, we’re pretty locked into what we’re trying to do from a scheduling standpoint, and that’s not a knock on anybody,” Self said.
