It’s shocking how much I’m not worried about that. Championship wins do a lot to offset these type of losses.
This team was living on the thinnest of margins all season long and it got them.
Free throws, dumbass plays, absolutely nothing behind Harris, size that didn’t develop defensively, and obviously missing perhaps the best coach ever was going to ding us at some point. Would have been nice to go out on a game that was played and officiated better, but it is what it is.

Yeah, I’m sure Self makes the difference in this one. We’ve seen so many great coaching decisions from him that have really changed games and frustrated opponents. Remember the triangle and 2 against UNC in 2012?
My hope for this tournament was that Self would be back for the second round to give us a strategical and emotional lift. We don’t lose in the first game of the weekend very often, so I think we would’ve gotten to at least the Elite 8. From there, who knows?
Sucks, but what can you do. Chiefs wouldn’t be the same without Reid either.
I think Self will hit the portal hard though. He’s proven to find key contributors consistently. Just since 2017, he’s grabbed transfers like Malik Newman, the Lawsons, Isaih Moss, Remy Martin, JCL, and Kevin McCullar.
I have full confidence that Self will grab a couple guys to give us some shooting and round out the roster. We’ll be right back here again.
