SportsBeat KC: Talkin’ hoops with Bill Self, Bruce Weber, Scott Drew at Big 12 event

The Big 12 basketball media days made their annual appearances in Kansas City this week, with women’s coaches and players in town on Tuesday and the men here Wednesday.

On today’s episode of SportsBeat KC, The Star’s daily sports podcast, you’ll hear from men’s coaches Bill Self of Kansas, Bruce Weber of Kansas State and Scott Drew of Baylor.

The Jayhawks are picked to win the Big 12, again. Self discussed that and possibly playing with a 10-man rotation. Weber talks about how last year’s fast finish might affect this year’s team, and Drew speaks to life as a national champion.

Hint: He recommends it.
