One other notable thing is that KU is playing at a faster tempo than they ever have under Self. They've always been well above average relative to the rest of the NCAA, but they've never been in the top 20 (or even the top 50) like they are right now. Only one team (Vanderbilt) has been able to keep one of KU's games under 70 possessions so far (the D-1 average). With the relative struggles of the half court offense, it would be beneficial to keep this up. Having Diallo around certainly won't hurt on that front.
