Realistically, I guess I can't blame them. The tournament doesn't give a shit what you were playing like in December and January, whether it was good or bad. And when you get to this stage, it doesn't even care how well you were playing in your conference tournament.
But that's still horseshit. A clean sweep of Michigan over KU? 2-2 or 3-1, maybe, but that's just asinine.
This KU team seems to be at its best with its back to the wall. I hope Self finds some bulletin board material to use in practice. We need to play relaxed and confident, but also with passion and inspiration.

Yeah, it's crap... the media (and a lot of fans, I'm sure) fall into that trap every year. I remember everyone picking UNC over Kansas in the FF in 2008, mostly because Kansas barely beat Davidson... and people kept picking against Kansas last year because they were seemingly pulling wins out of their ass.
You would think they would eventually catch on that Self is pretty damn good at finding ways to win close games and finding ways to win when Kansas isn't shooting well or even playing well. And now he has several days to prepare for his next opponent, and will surely lose...
