I also should say that the B12 is generally one of the strongest conferences in college basketball (if not the strongest) and it routinely provides plenty of great conference matchups every year for KU. In recent history, Texas (with Durant), Missouri (the fantastic 2011-2012 team), Oklahoma (with Griffin), KSU (with Pullen/Clemente), and even Baylor have provided elite challenges and were real NC contenders. The fact that KU ended up beating those teams says more about how good Self's program is than any weakness in the conference.
Obviously this year is a down year for the B12 and there is no foreseeable threat to KU, but I doubt the conference will remain this weak for long.
