And that was even with Embiid. It's a shame to lose to an inferior team, but I think everyone (OK, maybe not BL) had already braced themselves for this one a long time ago. It's not crushing in the least, at least not by our usual standards.

I'm just glad I got to see a little bit of Wiggins and Embiid's development before they go on to be great players for the next decade plus.

Not even close to Pitino and you'd have to really be kidding to put him over Cal, K, Roy, or Donovan. I like Self fine but better than all those guys? Cause he beats up on the reeruns in our league?

Great coaches don't start , let alone recruit, Naadir Tharpe.

Taylor, Robinson, Collins, Releford.

These guys were leaders. Tharpe is a joke. Black tried to be a leader, but not having played at KU before this year, it was hard for him to be seen by so many new players as a real leader.

I was talking about Kansas, not Bill Self. But yeah, I would take Bill Self over everyone you just listed.

All of those coaches but K have missed the tournament since Self came to KU. Donavan has missed it multiple times.

I guess that sort of thing is acceptable for PB?

KU fans are the only ones who brag about making the tourney and winning a league. But Self knows better and even said March is ultimately what matters. I'll take Selfs own opinion on it over yours any day.

Considering your takes are reeruned on literally everything, I don't have a problem with this.

What difference does it make? We lost to a garbage team just like he did.
