If Shaka brings the team back to the Big Dance after 2 years removed, that can only be seen objectively as progress. He would be very deserving of a long-term extension.
Does Kansas have a claim for national championship? They end up #1 in both rankings. Like they used to do in football, think this counts. They also have all #1 votes, so consensus national champs!
Time to give Shaka some credit. He always has the team peaking at the perfect time of the season. Only reason the team didn't win the national championship last year was because of a conspiracy to keep them out of the NCAA tourney.
