Making over one million dollars more than Calipari, Bill Self sits in a league of his own – both in regards to winnings and earnings.
The Jayhawks were absolutely annihilated by the Gonzaga Bulldogs in the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament. Despite leading by 1 point at half time, Kansas was knocked out after a 89-68 loss to the Zags.
Self and his squad have now been eliminated in the Second round for consecutive years. In 2022, the Jayhawks won the national title over the UNC Tar Heels. Is Self losing... himself?

Rick Barnes and the Tennessee Volunteers eked past the Second Round. Barnes and the Vols defeated his former team, the Texas Longhorns, to move on to the Sweet Sixten. Scott Drew and Dan Hurley are still dancing their way toward April with Baylor and UConn.
