Believe one of those wins was a prayer bank shot I seem to recall against ISU at the Phog.
Self is a very good X's and O's guy, one of the best. That is the primary reason.
A secondary reason is other teams know late in the game you play the same style of D you have all game you probably get a whistle, so you might have to back off a tad.
And you will not get any calls in your favor.
Last night Self was willing to go to O.T, and the defense showed, Texas was not willing to go to O.t. and the type of shot they hoisted showed.
