  Affidavit: Kansas's Josh Jackson threatened to 'beat' women's player
  TULSA, Okla. (AP) — One day before top-seeded Kansas opens NCAA Tournament play, court officials released an affidavit that said freshman star Josh Jackson threatened to "beat" a women's basketball player during a confrontation in December.
  The release was the latest in a series of embarrassing moments this season for both Kansas and its talented freshman—who was suspended for last week's quarterfinal loss to TCU as punishment for an accumulation of incidents.
  "(Jackson) is a tough-minded individual; I think he's focused," Self said. "And certainly his role or playing time or whatnot, whatever, will only be dictated by what happens between the lines. It won't be dictated by anything else."
  "What I learned from it is we all make mistakes," he said. "Kids. You make one mistake, and the only thing you do is don't make it again."
  While saying Jackson has accepted responsibility for the incident, Self said the Jayhawks have ''rallied around Josh.''
  "It's not easy to have your name across the ticker each and every day about something when somebody keeps bringing up an additional thing or two when we already know this took place a long ... quite a while ago," Self said. "I don't think it should be motivation, but I also don't think it should be an excuse and a distraction."
