and of those past 20 yrs they've been the 1 or 2 seed 17 of those 20 years MEANING they were in some way shape or form a favorite. teams like Duke, NC, etc etc being the favorites all these years with all these McDonalds all americans and winning on average once a decade always has, and always will be pathetic to me. Give off Duke nuts bro.

actually I hate duke, I hate duke so much I've never picked them ever make it out of the first round since I started doing brackets. But they are the most successful college basketball team of the past 30 years.

Seedings are nice and all but it means nothing as the games aren't really home games and only the first game is considered a "cupcake"

Never liked Self, I feel like no one can ever shine in their system and it wastes the elite talents they get. Guys like Wiggins and Jackson are just confined by his offense I feel. He coaches a team that would be great with a bunch of seniors on the roster, not one where the best players are star freshman.

that's actually a very great point and one I never thought of. another reason why when Calipari wins it all this yr he'll be the goat :mjgrin:

sounding like oklahoma fans wanting to get rid of stoops
bill self took tulsa to the elite 8 for crying out loud, coaches like self don't grow on trees
So going by that logic, he should be doing much more with the talent he gets cause Tulsa ain't Lawrence. Textbook definition of underachiever

:francis: one ring in the past 2 decades.

:francis:Another year where they over perform in that wack ass Big 12 conference and under perform in the tourney.

:francis:Bill Self choking again.

:francis:Devonte Graham..........................................:francis:

:francis: Frank Mason getting his shyt pushed in by Tyler Dorsey.

:francis:No D-Rose to gift em a ring, aint really done shyt since. Don't wanna here nothing bout these dudes in the reg season or until they win it all for that matter. Dudes stay choking in the tourney.
Check the ring count over the last decade before you out Duke name in your post......breh

:comeon:since you nikkas wanna act slow. We'll just go by the last 10 yrs
2007: First round L to Virginia Commonwealth :mjlol:
2008: 2nd round L to W. Virginia after an oh so spectacular one point victory over Belmont:skip:
2009:Sweet 16 L to Nova
2010: Champs :ehh:
2011: Another sweet 16 L to Zona
2012: First Round L to Lehigh.....LEHIGH :what:
2013: Dubbed in the elite 8 against the eventual champs
2014: First round L to Mercer :scust:
2015: Champs (I loved that squad btw, back b4 Greyson Allen was the p*ssy boy he is now)
2016: Sweet 16 L to Oregon
2017: 2nd round spanking to a team called the gamecocks :mjlol:

So lets not just sit up here and act like my claim is that outlandish, its not. Duke routinely underachieves in the tourney which is the point I was making with that analogy....just slightly less than that bum ass cac state in the midwest.

Bill Self's methodic system on offence restricts his player's potential. He's had a lot of talent over the years. Couldn't do shyt with wiggins, embiid, mason on the same team. SMH

2-7 in Elite Eight games..You take a 14 point fukking loss in fukking KCMO, basically a fukking home game?

its crazy hard to win at college basketball,

which is why in the past like 30 years only jim calhoun, rick pitino, roy williams, and coach k have won more than one title

but yeah if it wasnt for that chalmers shot where would bill self be at this moment?

Put some respeck on Billy Donovan's name :birdman:
