They aren't great defensively - much improved from what they were in at the beginning of the season, don't get me wrong. But they are NOT a great defensive team by any stretch of the imagination. I can't even really put what this team does well outside of Graham's great play recently...
You match this team up against '08 or even Tyshawn\TRob on paper they won't even compare... Yet they have risen above it all. Is it that this year is void of great teams? Is it that they are battle-hardened through a brutal conference schedule? I just can't figure this team out.
But to me, the season that this team has put together says all you need to EVER know about Bill Self as a head coach. What a masterful job.
In the end, this non-Great team may be one of the Greats.

Yup. The whole team sucks. Glad to see someone hasn't bought into this "Oh I'm a panicky fan and losing two hard road games after a massive win is expected and everyone has a letdown game, but outside of that I guess I really don't have a complaint, because at the end of the day, KU is consistently a national title contender, so anything short of absolute perfection I'm going to bitch about, but now I'm starting to realize this team is actually really ****ing good" line of BS.
Hot take.
