Really quick

I don't have too much to say on this topic, but I definitely wanted to point it out. Kansas, ranked #3 in the nation right now, perhaps getting in some practice for the first game of the NCAA tournament, lost last night to Oral Roberts. At home. Oral Roberts. Yeah.

Now, I don't want to say I told you so, Self can't coach, Kansas is overrated (AGAIN). Shit, of course I want to say that. Self can recruit, but he couldn't coach his way out of a wet paper bag. That needed coaching to get out of. On some level that metaphor has to work.

The point is this. Illinois is much better off without Self. Yes we would be getting better recruits, but he has not shown an ability to win any big games. Hell, he can't even win mildly important games. Two years in a row he's lost the first game of the NCAA tournament, first to Bucknell, then to Bradley. He's getting recruits who most people say will be in the NBA in two years (or less) and they're not winning anything. And it can't be because they're so young any more because most of his players are at least sophomores who are 'NBA-bound'.

So we can all complain about how Weber doesn't hit the recruiting homerun every year (even though he could have this year if not for the fuckjob). But if we had Self we would be terribly underachieving. Weber can coach. Well. So let's just all get off his back and revel in the failures that are Kansas basketball, Bill Self's coaching ability, and Indiana losing to Butler!
