The Bill Self bubble is officially BURSTing!

Just two years ago Bill Self was the hottest name in coaching. Kansas fans were ecstatic to get such a great coach and some even thought that "Ole Roy" was underachieving there and Bill Self would bring them championships.

Fast forward to today and here's what's happening:
* Kansas has a post-season meltdown and falls to perhaps the greatest upset in modern-era NCAAs to Bucknell. This after being everyone's favorite and top RPI team. And Self "forgets" to shake hands...
* Illinois without Self has a glorious season with just 1 loss and in the Sweet 16.
* "Ole Roy" has a glorious season at NC and in the Sweet 16.

So now if you look back at Self's years at Illinois, was he underachieving there? If Illinois is this good with Weber, and if Self was -that- good as a coach? Hmmmmm....

So Kansas fans, "Ole Roy" doesn't look so bad now, does he? :-)
