Self on KU's struggles: 'We can't play without Marcus Garrett'

Bill Self's post-game comments after the loss to West Virginia
"It was my fault. I should have called timeout. I thought with a broken floor — guys coming down with a broken floor and you're down one — I thought, you know, for sure we'd drive it. Dedric didn't have a chance [on the put-back attempt]. He had more time, I think he shot it with about one [second], one-and-a-half [seconds] left, so he probably could have gathered, but, nah, we had no chance on that last possession. That's obviously my fault. I should have called timeout. I just thought we'd drive it."

IRS Publishes Final Guidance On The 20% Pass-Through Deduction: Putting It All Together
