In the final 60 seconds or so Saturday night, when it became obvious Kansas wasn’t coming back to beat Oregon, Bill Self glanced into the pro-KU crowd at the Sprint Center.
I’m not sure who or what the Kansas coach was looking for, but he didn’t look for long. He then peered at the scoreboard, where the numbers were unfavorable. He pursed his lips, folded his arms and looked to be in some pain as his ninth time coaching in an NCAA Tournament Elite Eight game was about to result in a seventh loss.
Oregon beat Kansas, Kansas didn’t lose to Oregon.
