a lot of evidence for why natty’s are overrated by most

We have 4 now, it's time for KU fans to drop this act.

We just got done listening to Self say for the last 3 weeks that we are too light on Natty's. For years now, our own coach has said the tournament is the ultimate judge.

Sorry Newton, that feeling you're having right now, some here think it's overrated.

They're underrated by this board, if anything.

i think natty’s are great, but i also think too much weight is put on them when talking about the success of a coach or team

we can disagree…it’s ok

And it's obvious why.

i don't recall anyone overrating the run as it was unfolding those last few weekends in march and the first weekend in april. seems like it was receiving the proper rating.

This.

We caught some breaks in this bracket.

I'm fine with that, doesn't diminish the accomplishment.

We've had so many bad breaks, we were due, and are probably still due some tournament 'luck'.

[KUTradition]

absolutely

Agreed. Frankly, this season confirms that you have to catch some breaks to win the tourney if you aren't an absolutely dominant team.

That and this.

To me it just proves how elusive and valuable they are. The entire KU fan base has been deliriously happy for over a week now. If titles were overrated then that would not be the case.

Feels like it is to minimize the frustration of not getting one when the team seems like they were good enough to do it.

only overrated in the sense that they are used to judge the success of a team or coach…which i’ve already said

they’re an important metric, but not the end all be all

do you think Calhoun was/is a better coach than Self? he’s got 3 to Self’s 2

Something can be very elusive and valuable and can make you deliriously happy but can also be overrated.

I don't think Calhoun is better than Self at coaching, but Calhoun is more than just 3 titles. He is 3rd in all time victories it looks like.

[CrimsonNBlue]

Titles mean a lot. They're not the end all be all.

Illy does enough strawman-ing around here.

Not much more than any of the rest of you.
