I've seen lots of individual talent this year, but there aren't any good "teams". There is a real and obvious lack of cohesiveness throughout and that's what makes teams really very good.

Orrr....teams aren't as good when we have entire roster turnovers year to year.

It sucks, this whole fucking trend towards professionalism and individualism sucks. You want to be an individual? play golf. this is a damn team sport, be part of a team. great teams aren't made in 1 season, lightning in a bottle occasionally but jot conistent good teams, ask Calipari.

I don't think we are in the elite teams this year ( elite is graded on a curve, elite within the teams competing ).

Which makes it all the more amazing that Self's team is still filled with a group of totally unselfish players who willingly give up the ball to let another teammate take advantage of an edge they could otherwise try to create for themselves.

Except, they don't.

This KU team leads the entire NCAA in assists per game. They seem to be doing just fine offensively. KU loses games when their defensive intensity isn't up to par.

They beat the shit out of Purdue earlier in the year. If they can avoid any really bad losses then I think Nebraska might make the tourney, which is pretty remarkable. Right now they are in Lunardi's Last Four In as a 10 seed.

Our FG%/shooting is excellent.
Our assists per game is excellent.

Terrible offensive rebounders is right. Drives me crazy to see a shot go up and everyone immediately head the other way. I can't remember how many times I've see 3 or 4 of the other team under the basket and not a KU jersey to be seen. You're definitely not going to get it if you don't even try.
