File- This Oct. 31, 2017, file photo shows Kansas head coach Bill Self, left, talking with forward Billy Preston (23) during the first half of an exhibition NCAA college basketball game against Pittsburg State in Lawrence, Kan.

It's hard to say Preston did just fine without them.(AP Photo/Orlin Wagner, File)
