2021 was a screwy Covid year. Just throw that one out.
2017 was an Elite Eight matchup against a good Oregon team, but what also happened that year? Oh yeah, losing a starting center to injury.
So basically, we’re going to have a bad loss in the tournament when we lose a star player to injury. Shocking.

Also leaving out last year's loss just because Self wasn't coaching is pretty dishonest. Like they were some scrappy rag tag team that overperformed because of a backup coach and Self shouldn't get credit.
