Self points to Morris and Niang

Still think Lawson wins it, and he should.

This.

Lawson leads the league in points and rebounds and has been the best player. Period.

I think he cheats (but any more than any of the other blue bloods??) and obviously gets a ton of favorable calls, but I still contend that Self would be a fun guy to sit down a have a few beers with. He's a great college bball mind and he's been around long enough to have some great stories.

I know some people think it's an act and maybe they're right, but I've always felt he showed a good amount of respect toward ISU, our players, and Hilton.

It's not an act. Self tecognizes good competitive basketball and fan bases and understands their impact on a game. He has been impressed with ISU players, coaches and fans and praises them because ISU players, coaches and fans have been impressive and worthy of praise.

Scott Drew is easily the coach of the year. He has done a fantastic job. It's funny that the two coaches that always get thrown under the bus about coaching are Drew and Bruce Weber and every year they have very competitive teams that make the tourney.

Except that Baylor sucked last year and went to the NIT and Weber missed all tourneys in both '15 and '16.

Wait until you see what Weber does next year when he doesn't have a starting roster of 3 seniors and 2 juniors...

I actually really like Bill Self.

Weber went E8 last year with a starting roster of 2 juniors and 2 sophomores and a freshman, so there is hope in MHK. You write like a "Cult of Frank" member.

Last year Brucie lucked out by getting a 16 in the 2nd round instead of a 1. Spare me the coaching acumen claims.

Bill could run for governor of Kansas and win. He's prepared, slick, doesn't mind cheating, loves everybody, and is good in front of the camera.
Sure, Self loved Georges and Monte, but he still won championships in spite of their great play.

I actually like Self, and I don’t mind KU really. I mean I hate them, but for somebody I hate I don’t mind them. Actually had a nice conversation with Self randomly at an airport once, really engaging guy. And they gave Niang a standing ovation in his last game at KU, I mean....that was pretty cool I thought.
