Bill Self vs. John Calipari: Head-to-head record as coaches meet again in NCAA tournament

Related Topics: Bill Self, John Calipari

Few thing are more exciting in March Madness than watching two Hall of Fame coaches face off against each other. Kansas' Bill Self and Arkansas' John Calipari will do just that on Thursday in the first round of he NCAA men's tournament.

It's the third time the two coaches and longtime friends have met in the tournament — but the first two both came in the national championship game.

Kansas famously pulled off a miraculous comeback against Calipari's Memphis team in 2008. Calipari got revenge with Anthony Davis' Kentucky squad in 2012.

Overall, however, the two have been pretty evenly matched against each other with Bill Self holding a 7-6 edge.
