It matters from a sentimental and psychological perspective. They're a blue blood that has owned the league (and us) since its inception. Going 2-0 against them is a big deal, and we have people in th

Don’t care how below par Texas has been playing. Don’t care how bad Kansas is this season. It’s really fun to beat them twice.

There is an amazing lack of structure and role discipline on all of Shaka’s teams.  I amused myself in the commercial break imagining what Bob Knight would do if his center decided to try to cross people from the top of the key on two possessions in a row and dribbled it off his legs out of bounds.

Does Shaka tell any of these guys they shouldn’t shoot threes? (Will Baker and Dylan Osetkowski say, “No.”).  Does he tell any of them what their strengths are and to know their role?  It doesn’t seem like it.

Thought similar, what would Self do if anyone jacked up and off balance three immediately in a possession? Lose his fucking mind. We encourage it from everyone.

I'm struggling to remember a worse Kansas team under Bill Self.  Am I missing one?  These guys are idiots and we could easily be winning this game.

Self has been at KU since 2004. The worst his team has ever finished in Kenpom was his very first year; they finished #18 overall and went to the Elite 8. this is easily the worst team he's ever had at KU. dude is the best coach in CBB; has been for some time.

Playing light years better this half, in large part because Kansas now can't shoot

Yeah, KU not bringing the same energy on defense in 2nd half is also a big factor for this TEXAS offensive run.

Good to see Horns attacking the rim more in this 2nd haf...

I don't know if he's the best coach in college bball, but my point was essentially aligned with what you said.  This team is one of, if not the worst teams he's put on the court in Lawrence.
