I agree. I don't understand the need to send the e-mail. He didn't say anything that bad or wrong for that matter.



No kidding. He didn't even mention that only 3000+ of us bought OB tix thru the school.

No, but I heard that Charlie Weiss and Tom Amstutz met last week for a light lunch, and that's all they talked about.

On Sportscenter they just compared our first half against EMU with the Kansas first half against TCU. I laughed.

If they can do it with those players, we should feel ok about our performance by players not as talented. As much as I blamed NIU coaches and players for not trying different ways to score, I guess I have to blame Self for their poor scoring output too. I feel better about our team now. Thanks, Bill. 04-cheers

Somehow I think TCU is better than EMU. Just a guess.

I think point differential is a better indicator when measuring the worst halves of basketball, not just one team's offensive output.

RE: Bill Self compares KU bball to NIU
The reality is that this season is Coach M's first season. Last season he had to clean house. The talent was not there. Anyone one of us would have done the same thing.

This being is the first season with HIS players has been rough but did we really expect anything else with this group of freshmen.

Next season is where we need to see improvement and a lot of it.

Next season we hope to have our 2 current bigs available. Last night showed how out manned down low NIU is.

So until this time next year I will make no further comments about the coaching. Give the guy a break..

Im definitely a Coach Montgomery supporter, and do not think he is anywhere close to the should he be fired discussion. I do however think there could be increased cause for concern with him and this particular group of players. To string together the BG, EMU, and WMU performances that close together is alarming. Those type of performances should happen once per year at most. There is no way BG is 15 points better than NIU in Dekalb. The focus of this team is definitely in and out, and some of that may fall on coaching.

Coach Self,
postgame comments ... likely meant to inspire your team... But in that effort there was absolutely no need to denigrate mine. Your comment about Northern Illinois was completely uncalled for. It reeked of arrogance and pomposity quite unbecoming of a national championship winner.
You don't have to use the bully pulpit to tear Northern Illinois down while building Kansas up. Focus on your team's poor effort and not a group of kids trying to improve.
I hope a public apology is forthcoming.

Read this post and I felt embarrassed and the need to get this off my chest. No one can make NIU fans look pitiful like NIU fans.
Go back and read the story: 14 paragraphs in, he says "For the first half, there has not been a team play worse than that anywhere. Maybe Northern Illinois earlier in the year." He was stating a statistical fact. In no way shape or form was he "denigrating" the Huskies.
A statistically accurate comment in the 14th graph is not tearing down Northern Illinois. And how you figured he was "building Kansas up" by doing that is beyond me. IF he or any KU administrator read your e-mail, they're probably sharing it for a laugh.
Hated Self when he was the Illini coach and still hate him, but I give him all the credit in the world for being aware of what's happening in college basketball to the point he could make an analogy that would mean something to a bunch players who probably spend more time watching ESPN than knowing anything about NIU or EMU.
How about you apologize to Huskie nation by promising not to show your overally sensitive side in another e-mail to coaches and administrators at a Top 25 program.
