Without Bill Self, No. 19 Kansas hangs on to beat Colorado

Melvin Council Jr. had 18 points and seven rebounds in No. 19 Kansas' 75-69 win over Colorado on Tuesday without coach Bill Self, who did not travel with his team to Boulder, Colo., after an illness that required him to be hospitalized Monday.

Self mentioned in a statement Tuesday that he was "feeling much better" after receiving IV fluids.

Kansas assistant Jacque Vaughn, a former Jayhawk standout who has experience coaching in the NBA, served as the acting head coach.
