Obviously, we were wrong. This is a hell of a team. 5 legit scoring threats. A few great role players. A super scrappy point guard. Experience. Energy. Just a great team.

As far as Self teams go, this is one of the best. ‘08 and ‘20 were clearly better. After that, this team is right there. ‘07, ‘10, and ‘17 were more talented, but clearly had flaws that were exposed. Can’t say that about the 2022 team…THE National Champion Kansas Jayhawks.

Enjoy it. We’ve lost some tough ones over the years, but not tonight. Rock Chalk.

I think you could argue there were 5 KU teams better than this group since 2008 (2010, 2011, 2012, 2016, and 2020), but this tournament often isn't about how good you are, it's about getting it done when it counts. This one did and honestly never even played at their best to do it other than the Villanova game.

Reminds me a lot of the 2012 run really except they didn't run into Anthony Davis this time.

Best coach in college basketball and with K done and gone for good it's not even close. Never want to hear anybody doubt this guy ever again.

And Roy got 0 here. Find a dick and suck it Carolina.

He’ll get at least 1 or 2 more if he stays here.

He’s also going to be a master of the transfer portal. No one scouts like he does.

It reminds me a bit of how everyone kind of knew Andy Reid was one of the all-time great coaches but were just waiting on him to win the big one. Similar with Self...everyone also kind of already knew he was just as good as anybody to coach over the past 30 years but they were waiting for him to pick up that 2nd and get to the next level. He did and hopefully he'll start getting recognition as the best in the game now.

The Morris twins were great in 2011, but that guardplay was not great.

2012 had shit for depth.

Maybe a prisoner of the moment, but I’d take 2022 over those two.

2016 was really good. 2020 was incredibly good.

Appreciate it, but just did what needed to be done. Season was on the line, there was no choice.

Very good comparison

Both coaches simply had shit luck. For years.

And that dude went and got his all ****ing tournament long. Dude deserves whatever good vibes he gets. That was a ****ing performance. Even after Bacot got him a few times, he gave no ****s and just went and got his.

McCormack deserved MOP IMO. He completely dominated Villanova and worked very hard against a far more physically talented big tonight to the point that he won the battle at the end. We don't win tonight's game without him.

Ive been hard on McCormack but David McMadness got robbed for Final Four MVP.

Ochai was good but David should have got it.

I thought he locked it up on that last bucket.

I would’ve given it to him too.

Ochai just said that he thinks Dave should’ve been MOP

Yes, I think you could make an argument for 2022 over 2011 and 2012. They're close. Not over 2010, 2016 or 2020 though.

Nature of the tournament.
