If Nova shits the bed in the title game I'll go on a killing spree.

Uh, no. I think I'd prefer KU being in the final. Actually had plans to fly to San Antonio tomorrow if they had won this one.

outcoached? You are a ****ing idiot.

Mr_Tomahawk · 03-31-2018, 08:52 PM

So who is leaving the off-season (other than the seniors)? Are Malik and Dok gone?

I agree. But it won't be very many programs that do it. There just aren't that many guys on the planet that can defend the post and shoot 3s consistently.

Too many guys try it with the wrong personnel and they'll get housed by teams that can play effectively in the post.

When one team takes 20 more threes than another team and both teams' strengths is 3PT shooting, I think coaching might have played a role yeah.

Yes, outcoached completely actually. And that's what will leave me more sad about this one than anything as I'm a huge Self fan.

**Baby Lee** · 03-31-2018, 08:56 PM

Don't even have the heart to hold it under 20 after trying most of the game.

Agreed. Self tried to answer 3's with 2's from the very beginning.

Duke showed Self at his best, this showed Self at his most stubborn.

Where is Udoka going? All the NBA bigs are like Spellman but way, way better.

Have heard Newman is gone which is disappointing. I hope Vick leaves but he probably won't.

GloryDayz · 03-31-2018, 08:57 PM

Sorry KU fans, it was a great run. You'll be back in the mix again next year.

Should have been running them if the three from the beginning

Exactly. I'm assuming he thought Udoka would produce enough inside the arc to make leaving him out there defensively worth it, but it was beyond obvious from very early in the game that wouldn't be the case and he never adjusted to it.
