I didn't mean to imply the rest of it didn't happen - sorry about that, poor choice of words. Just tired to hearing people claim they played together in HS.
Hiring Wiggin's dad just to land a OAD is such an awful idea that I know Self will not consider it. What if Athletics hired Josh Selby's mom to land him, how would that hire look today?
This never happened. Piper graduated from LHS in 1983, Danny in 1984. Danny only played 1 year at LHS. Piper red shirted at KU. They were both seniors in 1988. They never played together at LHS.
Just my opinion, but all these losses hurt more for us because we are so emotionally invested. There is no joy in just getting into the tourney, like many/most other fans experience. We are there every year - more consistently than anyone else in recent history. We are typically only happy when we make a final four - but that is tempered if we don't win - the only true joy comes from a NC (sigh).
Michigan this year was a horrible loss - we dominated the game but played horrible in the last 4 minutes of each half. We played well for 32 of the 45 minutes and handed the game to them. Arizona in 1997 was the worst for me.
Self is right, Weber's comments weren't real, they were just to stir the fan base. Stupid for him to poke KU though.
KSU getting a piece of the title had less to do with the ISU loss to KU than it did: a. KU having the worst game in its history at TCU b. Scott Drew tried coaching in the last 2 seconds of the KSU-Baylor game at Waco
Opinion: Note to Self: Hire Mitchell Wiggins

Which would you say was the most painful NCAA loss of the Bill Self era at KU?

So, is that what you posted in 2005 about Russel Robinson when it was widely know he wanted to transfer?

UNC coach Roy Williams: Loss stings, but not because of history with KU
Am I the only one that remembers the no-call hard foul on Jeff Gueldner that would have tied the game in the final seconds?
