Self took an 8 seed (Tulsa) and beat Huggins 1 seed (Cinci) in the 2nd round of the tournament on his way to the Elite Eight. I'd say the guy can coach. Oh, and before you bring up the 1st round losses, I would just like to remind you that Bob Huggins lost in the 1st or 2nd round 12 out of the last 14 times he made the tournament with Cinci. Billy Donovan, Jim Boeheim, Lute Olsen, etc, have all lost in the 1st round.
Back on the main topic, even if Rush and/or Arthur leave, ku will still have Sherron Collins, Russell Robinson, Mario Chalmers, Julian Wright, Sasha Kaun, Darnell Jackson, Cole Aldrich, Rodrick Stewart, Tyrel Reed, and possibly a guy like Marcus Thornton.
We'll still be the team to beat in the Big 12.
