This thread is beginning to take on the feeling of being slightly disingenuous.
QuoteThe Elephant in the Room (22 votes)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Kansas has 2,101 all time wins (2nd all time), 57 conference titles (most all time), 14 final fours (4th all time), yet we only have 3 championships since the inception of tournament in '39 (with 7 schools having as many or more, with 4 of those schools having significantly more). Are we simply unlucky? Do we put more value on the regular season then most programs? Or have our player perennially up-tight come tournament time?It's a frustrating anomaly and the only statistic Kansas lacks behind other blue bloods.

KU, the KC Royals of college basketball.
I love Bill Self, but half the games we've lost in the tournament during his tenure have been trash. Bucknell was trash.Bradley was trash.Northern Iowa was trash.VCU was trash. (Yes, they were trash.)Stanford was trash.That's trashy.
Self is an underachiever and just a flat out bad coach. I won't shed any tears if he goes to the NBA. Good riddance to him.
I don't care how many league championships he's won. Regular season league championships are worthless. Ask the 2007 Dallas Mavericks if they remember their 2007 regular season western conference championship. I guarantee you that if Self has an early tournament loss next year, he will be on the hot seat....as he damn well should be.
They had 4 more days to prepare for their game with Stanford than Kansas did. You think that might make a difference? If Kansas plays Standford with 4 days to prepare I would bet Kansas wins without issue.
This! Makes me want to vomit. This Stanford team is so mediocre & seriously lacking athleticism. Dawkins bent Self over & had his way w/ him all day long. It was a complete coaching mismatch. & don't give me the crap about Self can't be out there shooting for the players. That garbage chokejob is all on Coach Self....he stunk as badly as a coach can stink in that game & it is becoming a trend in the NCAA tournament. Best coach in the country regular season, but a very, very mediocre postseason coach. BTW, postseason is what really counts. Nobody but us gives a crap about 10 in a row in a weak conference
They better be careful what they wish four, it's a very rare day when a school can make 4 good coaching hires in a row.
pat sajak is a great poster over there
ho-lee smokes i did not realize how much they loved the white point guard and hated the black point guard.judgment free zone so i'm not calling r-word, but is there some statistical evidence backing these sentiments? maybe a _FAN per 100 or something?

What if they piss off Self bad enough, he would just go to the Spurs and in his exit just send the NCAA a big thick envelope to the NCAA of all the crap he did while was there just as a big FU to them. That would be great.
Those guys make me so sad. Self is a fantastic coach. I mean, he's no Archie Miller, but still a great coach.
Was a bad year by KU standards. Ten there done that, but let's move on quickly.
