Another thing to consider is that the Dance is different from the regular season with all the TV timeouts. Royboy used to say he had time to take a nap during tourney games. This hurts a "wear 'em out" team like Kansas was under Roy. Even so, I have a fond memory of the KU-Arkansas gameof the early '80's (I think). The Hogs motto was "40 minutes of hell". KU wore those poor bastards out. Oliver Miller, Arkansas' big center was so gassed he didn't even go down to the defensive end of the court during the final minutes. He just stood under their offensive goal and waited for the play to come back to him. Hilarious. Anyway, that is what KU has over the mid majors. Not only do they have better talent but a lot more of it. You just can't wear a KU team out. But they can certainly wear out a team without depth. Royboy ran you to death while Self beats you up. The results are the same.
