How Bill Self beat the Big 12 at its own game

"And yet, The Streak goes on. Self wins with big men, then wins without them. He wins by playing unlike anyone else, then wins by copying the style of the teams that couldn't beat him before.

He wins, most importantly, by efficiently assessing his team's strengths then shifting his gameplan to take advantage of what his players do best.

It all has resulted in this annual truth: Situations might change for KU, but the winning never seems to."

Great article, gorilla, thank you!

An excellent write up of how Self has kept his team on top of the Big 12 by adjusting to the talents of his available players, and in the process putting himself in the running for COY. But then we’ve come to expect greatness from him, and superb writing from Jesse Newell.

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." - Mark Twain "Innocents Abroad"
