The story of KU’s 70-56 victory over Kansas State on Monday was simple if we wanted to just go by the reputations of the two coaches.
Bill Self, the Hall of Famer, implemented a 2-3 zone that Bruce Weber, the one who often says weird things in press conferences, couldn’t figure out.
Except, as is the case most of the time, the whole conversation should have been more nuanced than that.
K-State, which entered as the most efficient offense in Big 12 play, was held to 0.84 points per possession — easily its worst mark over the last month.
