Do two consecutive down years indicate that a Hall of Fame college basketball coach has forgotten how to coach? Do two disappointing seasons in a row mean that a two-time national championship-winning coach no longer knows how to run a successful program?
Evidently, that is the case with Bill Self and the Kansas basketball team.
Analysts and writers from Sports Illustrated (ranks KU sixth), Rothstein 48 (32nd nationally), Busting Brackets (5th), and 247Sports (4th) do not see the Jayhawks as being that much of a threat to win the Big 12 this season.
