Kansas losses in the tournament

Rhode Island
Bucknell
Bradley
Northern Iowa
VCU
Stanford

Despite their tradition they have have been upset by a lot of teams in the tournament, and they have always have a roster loaded with NBA players. Uconn's worst tourney losses in terms of upsets are to George Mason which was in the elite 8 and at least that game came down to the end in OT, and San Diego which AJ Price tore his ACL and that came down to a last shot.

For appropriate context, years when Kansas was more than 1 win under expected win total, or, lost to a double-digit seed in the last 20 years:

1995: 1 seed Kansas loses to 4 seed Virginia
1997: 1 seed Kansas loses to 4 seed Arizona
1998: 1 seed Kansas loses to 8 seed Rhode Island
2005: 3 seed Kansas loses to 14 seed Bucknell
2006: 4 seed Kansas loses to 13 seed Bradley
2010: 1 seed Kansas loses to 9 seed Northern Iowa
2011: 1 seed Kansas loses to 11 seed VCU
2013: 1 seed Kansas loses to 4 seed Michigan
2014: 2 seed Kansas loses to 10 seed Stanford

For comparison, UConn had 4 such years in that time period:

1996: 1 seed UConn loses to 4 seed Mississippi
2005: 2 seed UConn loses to 10 seed NC State
2006: 1 seed UConn loses to 11 seed GMU
2008: 4 seed UConn loses to 13 seed San Diego

I have loved the upsets so far. Duke, Quse, and now Kansas (altho I don't hate the J-hawks). Not sure if Kentucky losing would be an upset since WSU is a 1 seed, but certainly that would be a great result in my mind...

Bill Self - Nice guy, decent coach, good recruiter and sales guy, at a prolific basketball program who would win with Steve Lappas just not as much but doesn't get it done. Let's be honest they're better with Embiid no doubt but he still had Wiggins, Traylor, Black, Selden, #23 and some guards…………should have gone to 16 at least again but comes up short………Black didn't play enough during the year to be ready and he got the worlds best freshman 6 shots today - yeah SIX.

Sorry Bill on you!
