MEN'S BASKETBALL
College basketball sounds off on 10 straight
"From here on forward all we have to say is '10,' and everyone in the country knows what we're talking about." - Sheahon Zenger, Kansas Athletic Director
"Yes, what Self did this season win the Big 12 is what Self does every season. I know you're used to it and, at this point, I know you expect it. But the fact that Self makes it look easy doesn't mean that it is, you know, easy, and I'll stand by that statement forever unless you can hit me with a long list of coaches who have A) won 10 consecutive league titles, or B) done it three times without a single returning starter." - Gary Parrish, CBS Sports Columnist
"Even by the high standards of a team whose rosters have featured Wilt Chamberlain and Coach James Naismith, who invented the sport, the current run under Self is historic." - Ben Cohen, Wall Street Journal
"At this point, you could probably give Bill Self the Jamaican bobsled team and a month of practice time and he'd still find a way to win the Big 12." - Mark Titus, Grantland.com
"This team, like almost every one Self has coached in Lawrence, was expected to win the title once Andrew Wiggins signed on. But there's a difference between expecta tions and achievement in most places. Just not at Kansas." - C.J. Moore, Bleacher Report
"When Self started this run at Kansas, it was the beginning of the end for Quin Snyder at Mizzou, Jim Wooldridge was treading water at K-State, and Colorado and Baylor were the league walkovers. Over that span, The Streak has endured 20 coaching changes, four Big 12 defections and two league additions. That's staying power. That's a dynasty." - Sean Keeler, Fox Sports
"Nothing in college basketball is more impressive than Bill Self winning 10 Big 12 titles in a row."- Kim English, former University of Missouri Point Guard
"There may have been some NCAA tournament upsets along the way, and some have been more dramatic than others, but in the biggest sample sizes, against some of the best college hoops talent of the past decade, Self's Kansas program has prevailed. It's a ridiculous, mind-blowing run of success, and we don't talk about it enough." - Eamonn Brannan, ESPN
