Helps that our toughest competition is in the Sweet 16 game. That's where Bill excels the most. Elite 8 a bit of struggle, but the opponent won't be as strong.

Every single one.

Yes.
And almost every single season.
Except 2 seasons.

Can you name the seasons and the player with the highest APG for those two seasons?

It was three seasons.
14-15 Frank Mason fell short at3.9apg
18-19 Devon Dotson fell short at 3.5apg
20-21 Marcus Garrett fell short at 3.7

So basically three of our worst seasons under Self. Nine, ten and nine losses those three years.

No one hates Dajuan Harris. Everything is so zero-sum around here.

Someone just said that DH, a sophomore, is done improving. That's just dumb.

Sparko said that DH is about where he will end up. And, he's really a junior right?

The more I look at it, the more I think Providence is the worst of the remaining teams in the region. Don't get me wrong, they are a very good team. They just strike me as a team that does a lot of things really well, but nothing great. According to almost every KenPom stat, they would be with KSU and WVU at the bottom of the Big 12. ISU has their defense. Miami has guard play.

You mentioned Self's success in the Sweet 16. If they can get by Providence, this isn't a usual Elite 8. He would have the entire book on ISU already laid out, minus a few adjustments from the two meetings already. As for Miami, he's already familiar McGusty from his days at OU (granted it that was 3 years ago) and the Moore connection goes without saying. I trust he can come up with something in 2 days for the rest of that team. They also have 5 guys who average 30 minutes, so it's not like you have to deal with a ton of mixing and matching depending on matchups.
