Omaha, Neb. — Less than an hour removed from his team advancing to the Final Four, KU coach Bill Self was asked if he could put into words the emotion he was feeling.
“It feels unbelievable,” Self said. “That was a big-boy game, heavyweight bout. We fortunately caught ’em late with a pretty good right.”
Self called the game, which KU won, 85-81, arguably the second best he’d been a part of at Kansas.
The only one he could definitively rank above it, Self said, was the championship game in 2008, when KU defeated Memphis 75-68.
