Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 2969496, member: 6927"] It's a testament to UConn's otherworldly greatness that we find ourselves debating the pros and cons of an undefeated regular season. For all other programs, men's and women's, it's a unicorn. Just yesterday, Kansas men's coach Bill Self spoke about the issue after his #1-ranked team suffered their first loss of the season: [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]TEMPE, Ariz. -- Top-ranked [URL='http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/team/_/id/2305/kansas-jayhawks']Kansas[/URL] was upset Saturday night by No. 18 [URL='http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/recap?gameId=401083553']Arizona State[/URL], but to Jayhawks coach Bill Self, the 80-76 loss came at the right time.[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]"I think that losing sucks, and it's never good, but it actually can be a positive if you learn from it so that it doesn't happen again the same way," Self said. "We didn't close the game right at all, so hopefully, we can learn from that. But the reality of it is, we weren't going to run the table. Let's not get carried away.[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]"I hate saying this, you never ever want to lose, but certainly you'd rather learn from a nonconference loss than a conference loss. So hopefully, we'll learn something from it and get better from it. I think it'll be a good teaching tape for us."[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT][URL='http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/25598547/bill-self-hopes-kansas-learn-upset-loss-arizona-state']KU's Self: Upset loss to ASU a 'teaching' moment[/URL][/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
