    Ironic, because that's the reason they won the championship.

    and lol @ the guy who said Self got outcoached...his team shot terrible from 3 and the free throw line..what else you want him to do?

    Take them out? Tell them to stop shooting?

    Let me chime in. I have a shitty life filled with nothing but hatred for you people with good lives.

    I hope the interviewer didn't quiz S&L on geography haha. Chillicothe certainly isn't located in SE Ohio.

    I don't cheer against OSU...that wasn't cheering against OSU

    Yeah. I mean I understand for whatever reason a person becomes a bigger fan of another school when growing up, but how can someone actively cheer against and make fun of that that same team. It just doesn't make sense.

    Yup....Self shoulda went to that super deep bench. Oh wait...he did.

    The funny thing is, many said Selby was better than Brandon Knight. Talent-wise, it's close, but intangibles? Selby was a disaster this year...

    Well you mocked an OSU fan. Granted maybe he deserved it, but you are pretty critical of OSU, and I recall last year during the Tennesse game you were making fun of them pretty hard because I was thinking the same thing I think right now.

    Difference is, Self can't tell his ENTIRE TEAM to stop shooting...Matta can tell one player to stop shooting. And Self did tell his team to stop shooting 3s..Reed took a contested 3 and was chewed out and pulled from the game immediately...Self's offense revolves around the post. If a player is wide open on a kickout, a 3 is okay...normally KU makes them, today they didn't; it happens. Not the end of the world. he didn't get outcoached, he stuck to the game plan that got him to a 35-2 record...his players just didn't make shots

    Trueblue is a Duke basketball fan and Michigan football fan. I didnt see him make any posts about their game last weekend but did have a friend(roots for same teams as TB) say stuff about Michigan basketball before the game. It was dumb. He then went on to say that Arizona had no chance of beating Duke.

    Another big difference is Ohio State lost to Kentucky, Kansas lost to VCU. Say what you want but losing to a 4 seed that many thought may be deserving of a 2 or 3 seed, and losing to an 11 seed that many thought didn't even belong in the tournament says a lot about coaching.

    weren't you the same guy who claimed that you were just giving Thad Matta some "in game" coaching suggestions the other night? I can dig up your post if you'd like....and btw, so much for "rhetorical", eh?

    I don't remember making fun of them..I might have given some of their fans a little shit for giving me shit about UNI...if that's OSU bashing so be it, I just call it a little fun shit talking back and forth after both our teams lose

    You can't make adjustments when your team doesn't make shots...what do you want him to adjust? where they missed shots? LOL You're a fucking retard

    And there were probably some that deserved it, but I'm just pointing out how I thought it was strange to me. It doesn't make it right or wrong, just something I don't understand.

    This is 2011...seeds are almost irrelevant now a days in college basketball.

    I mean I really don't remember talking shit at all..I might have, but it was probably to those who were being obnoxious about UNI.

    LOL--that's the S&L we all know and love---we all prove what a hypocrite you are, and you resort to childish name calling--thanks for validating....and losing to an 11 seed? absolutelu pathetic!!!

    Normally Buford makes them, yesterday he didn't, it happens. Not the end of the world. Matta didn't get outcoached,he stuck to the game plan that got him to a 34-2 record...his player just didn't make shots.


    See how that works?

    Maybe the difference between a 1 and 2 vs a 3,4,5 but there most definitely is a difference between 1 and 11, especially considering that 11 was the last at large bid in.

    Thad Matta has never lost to a double digit seed in the NCAA tournament, let alone by 10 or more points.
