In the grand scheme of things, how a conference does in a single game elimination tournament has very little statistical significance. [Reply]
We'll still probably lose by double figures, but I like how they're playing in the second half. It's just too bad whatever message or adjustment that was made at halftime couldn't have been made at one of the 3 timeouts Self called or one of the 4 media timeouts. I think thats been the most frustrating thing about this team. [Reply]

They arent playing any better. Auburn isnt playing defense like they were in the second half and allowing us to score easy bunnies. [Reply]

Bill Self is not a fan of math, though.
He is a fan of math though. His philosophy has always been to prioritize stopping post points which are higher percentage shots. The problem is that college ball is looking more and more the way the NBA now is with a greater emphasis on the 3 point shot. His philosophy needs to evolve but old (successful) dogs don't like doing new tricks. [Reply]

This was a young team that gets pretty rattled when teams start draining 3's on them.
It's almost like they just give up.
And the bigger problem is, unlike teams of the past, this team is so bad offensively talent wise, they can't shoot themselves back into a game or keep up pace w/ the hotter shooting team. That's why we saw them get blown out a lot this season a lot more times compared to teams of the past. KU got worked this yr......a lot (by their standards).
And really the way Auburn was shooting the first half, KU would have had Graham and Svi and it may not have mattered. Maybe they wouldn't have been up by as much, but KU also couldn't stop shit at the same time, even in 2nd half. [Reply]

Bill letting that Shit for Brains headcase back on the team
set the stage. Bill should of told Lulu and Lagerald to head overseas
and try his luck there. Much like Vick, this team had no fight or toughness.
They folded like a cheap suit any time adversity raised its head. Just like Vick....
THE WORST Team Self has had since he has been here......
