This year\u2019s team is certainly the most improbable of his teams to make it. They are not loaded with NBA talent and are extremely short on depth and size, often playing four guards for the majority of the game. This may have been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mensbasketballhoopscoop.com\/coach-bill-self-pinch-post-set-plays\/\">Self\u2019s best coaching job<\/a> to date. While many thought this would be the year that someone knocked them off their Big 12 championship pedestal, Self went about recreating their offensive blueprint to fit the talent they have. Self\u2019s team, traditionally loaded with talent in the front court and playing a hi-lo motion offense, has had to adapt and move to a spread pick and roll offense predicated on stretching the defense to allow guard penetration.<\/p>\n<p>Kansas will be taking on the Villanova Wildcats on Saturday in a clash of teams heavy with experienced guard talent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kansas Zone Attack Leads Jayhawks to Final 4 by Chris Filios The Kansas zone attack powered the Kansas Jayhawks to the Final Four after defeating the Duke Blue Devils on Sunday 85-81, in overtime.
