Kansas was less than five seconds away from advancing to its third consecutive Elite Eight before Michigan's Trey Burke nailed the shot of this year's NCAA tournament.

Self, a title-winning coach, made a questionable late-game decision by choosing not to foul Burke with his team up by three points and seconds winding down on the clock. After the game, Self said that was a mistake. A big one.

"Well, this will go down as one of the toughest games obviously that we've been a part of ... and I've been a part of," Kansas coach Bill Self said after the game via Paste BN Sports.
