In Self's 11 years at KU, they have been a top 4 seed every year and a 1/2 seed in 7 of those 11.
Self is only 5-5 vs teams seeded 1-7. The Embiid injury was a huge topic for them for the last month. Self's record could be 3-5 vs teams seeded 1-7 if UNC's all American PG Kendall Marshall doesn't break his wrist and miss the 2012 elite 8 game. (lose that and they don't beat Osu, lose to UK)
The tourney is unpredicatable but KU has had its healthy share of lower seeded teams win in their bracket. Ku cant control who they play in the tourney, but when they lose to one of these lower seeded teams..... its gonna get talked about.
Self has 4 losses to teams seeded 10-14. I think Self is a great coach, but its a little crazy to think that if Marshall doesn't break his wrist..... Self could have more losses to 10-14 seeds, than wins vs 1-7 seeds. For a team that has been a 4,3,4,1,1,3,1,1,2,1,2 seed in his 11 years, its a little head scratching.
