Will Kansas Ever Learn?

[DrewDog]

They talked trash to VCU before their game. Just like last year!

Rock. Choke. Smacktalk. (Not necessarily in that order.)

Not till they realize they're not the Globetrotters, and everyone they play are not the Generals.

Ha! Post of the day.

Atleast the Morris twins didn't blast VCU after the game like they did UNI last year.

Marcus Morris did keep praising VCU after the game. The gamesmanship was done, replaced by a giant's heartbreak.

"They're a better team," Morris says of the 11th seed. "They played better and made more shots."


I believe last year they said something to the effect of "It's not fair we work as hard as we did all season long to have our chance at a national tittle ended by a school like UNI"

Their fans are the same! That's why I hate KU with a passion!

I saw this re-tweeted this morning and had to share. Wow the arrogance and the ignorance of this statement is amazing.

Funny that Kansas seems to always run into every opposing school's "best game ever". Suck it it up and own it.

Some much talent and so little actual accomplishment in the Tourney - is Bill Self the Gregg Marshall of the big 12.

Re: Will Kansas Ever Learn?

I know he said 'ant size program' but it's not like VCU is a small school. They 32,000 students (bigger then Kansas even).

The year they played Bradley, I was traveling through KC and caught talk radio. They were talking about how much they would win by, not whether or not they would win. The standard response was 20+ points.

For all we hear from Coach Self, he seems like a very classy guy. Apparently that doesn't transfer to his players...

Bradley. Bucknell. UNI. VCU.

For bleep's sake, Kansas: FIGURE IT OUT. You don't go to the NCAA Tournament to play UNC-Asheville in the first round and then Duke and North Carolina for the rest of the tournament for the ultimate glory. It just doesn't work that way anymore, and I don't think it ever did.

And for those of you singing Self's praises: he lets them do this. What happens when he lets them do this? Bradley. Bucknell. UNI. VCU.

Bill Self - Marty Schottenheimer of College Basketball. Great regular season, horrible post season as long as they have all the talent in the world

That's what I'm saying. Something doesn't match up. Is it his fault or the players' faults? I think you could spread blame fairly equally. It just seems as though this group of players for KU doesn't/didn't have their heads right. When they won the title a few years ago, it seemed they were on a mission. The last two years, they've come across as very entitled. And they were showed what happens when you overlook teams in this tourney.
