KU coach Bill Self discussed his team’s Friday matchup with a solid No. 15 seed, New Mexico State, as well as a potential Round of 32 game against Wichita State Sunday evening, following the selection show.
This ... this ... was not good. This was Iowa State 70, Kansas 66, the Jayhawks' second straight loss at this event at the hands of their rivals from the north and the Cyclones' second straight Big 12 tournament championship. And the crowing continued long into the evening, thousands of grousing KU fans pointing to their 11 straight regular-season conference titles, glowing Iowa State faithful pointing at back-to-back tourney crowns, a first in program history, plus three wins in their last four games against the Jayhawks, the beasts of the league, the bar, the Big 12's gold standard.

If you've seen it once, you've seen it a thousand times with this team, so the extremes the Jayhawks delivered on Saturday evening at Sprint Center probably were not all that surprising to most. Sure, they won't last long in the NCAA Tournament if they can't fix that. It looks as if this team's best chance is to make the other team play ugly, and these guys are pretty good at that. How far that can take you in the Big Dance is anyone's guess, but I'm guessing we're going to find out.
Say this for the NCAA Tournament selection committee: What they lacked in logic -- Northern Iowa as a 5? Georgetown as a 4? -- they more than made up for in sense of humor.

"I'm not going to worry about the variations of plays, we just want to get where the kids master the base of the offense," Likens said.

What happens is you end up having to cover so many mistakes you never master your base plays."
