NCAA Tournament

TCU going down to the Zags

Looks like us and Texas are the last 2 Big XII standing.

The two best teams in the conference IMHO, regardless of the final standings.

Pack also gets to a sweet 16.

I hear what you’re saying but not sure I agree with the “did not look like a Bill Self coached game”.

Was it a Bill Self coached game when they lost in the Bahamas to Tennessee by 14? Or when they lost 3 in a row to KSU, TCU and Baylor, with the TCU loss being at home and by 23? Or when the lost to ISU by 15? And that was when ISU was struggling with losing the 2 games before and 2 after the ku win. Or in the 16 point loss to Texas? And to follow that up with a 20 point loss to Texas one week later in front of a overwhelming ku biased crowd in kc?

How about the second round 2 point tournament loss to N Iowa? A game I was there in person and enjoyed throughly. Or a one point loss to Bucknell in the first round? Or the 3 point loss to Bradley in the first round? Or a 3 point loss to a 10 seed Stanford in the second round? I don’t recall Norm being the main man in any of those games.

And the guys who took the court for ku in that game yesterday had all been playing for Bill all season, some for 3-4 years. They know how they’re supposed to execute.

No I think that was the same type of ku team I’ve seen, they just got out played. Would Bill have made a difference? We’ll never know for sure. But one thing I do know for sure, the same guys would have been on the floor for both Arkansas and ku.

I won’t take anything away from the hogs getting a big tournament win by saying things would have been different if Self had been there. Ku fans may want to say that to make themselves feel a little better, but I just presented enough history that shows evidence it may not have made any difference at all because he’s lost game like that to lesser teams while he’s was on the bench.

That is fair and accurate. The other main point that I wanted to make in that post is this very well could be a turning point for the KU Mens Varsity Basketball Program.

Yeah that may be, we shall see. And if it’s a downward turn I know all Cat fans will be so disappointed

To do what exactly? Make a bet? You can do that at the Hollywood Casino in KCK by the Speedway. Don't need to go to Vegas.

Good points from both of you. Self may be faced with a tough decision going forward. But I don't see him leaving until it's on his own terms. One more year, at least, and then who knows.
