Because he was one of the worst shooters Self has ever had statistically, that would be why. He needs to be much better in that area next year.

But the eye test tells me that he was a much better PG on Friday against Michigan than EJ.

Wouldn't have been hard. EJ was completely awful in that game.

I wish he would have been the one bringing the ball up at the end of that game. Fact is that EJ single handedly cost KU that game. I'm pretty sure Tharpe would have kept the game out of reach for UM.

Self believed in trusting the veteran and going with the guy that got them there, for good or bad. I can't disagree with his trust in him at all after all that they/he did over the last two years (particularly during the tourney run last year). It just didn't work out this time. It happens.
