Such things will never happen under Self until he recruits five-star guards actually able to carry the program to that level. Come on, you know this. [Reply]

True. I guess Ted did too. Ted got a 3rd stolen from him in 1966 when JoJos 35-ft game winner in the EE vs Texas Western was reversed for stepping on the line:
In fairness JoJo has claimed he thinks he did prob step on it. That said we lost in 2OT and they went on to win the title and then star in the movie Glory Road. It was a matchup of the #3 and #4 teams in the final AP poll that year and we had to play them in Lubbock. [Reply]
For the love of god, Bill Self has been to the Elite 8 HALF the time he has been a coach at KU. 50%. 7 out of 14 years.
Let's see how the other Top Coaches have done shall we?
Coach K 4/14
Roy Williams 7/14
John Calipari 8/14
Tom Izzo 5/14
Jim Boeheim 3/14
BILL SELF 7/14
Yes, but it is so, so much better to have the season end in similarly disappointing fashion one round later. If he could have only gotten a few more FF losses instead of E8 losses, it would have changed everything in my eyes about him. But we've seen more than enough now to know what Self is about. [Reply]

The only thing I can knock him for in this EE loss was going inside to Landen too much. BUT, when you aren't knocking down shots from the inside, and no one is driving, I'm not sure what else is to be done. [Reply]

KU agrees with me as they don't hang EE banners. Write them a letter telling them that's stupid. [Reply]

Well it goes without saying that finishing T3 as a loser is loads better than finishing T5 as a loser in the country. Self knows that's what we expect from him and he's simply been unable to get it done. Failed tenure. [Reply]
