Dayton v Wichita State. Winner gets the Illinois job!
Jank's SMU squad just ran roughshod over Cincy winning their conference tourney rather convincingly. They'll be 30-4 going into the tourney.

Ok with intreging interest I have been following the coaching search here and I must admit there are some good names being tossed around. Now I am not a expert, I also do not post much on here but I do have to wonder. Why do we have to hire one of these coaches mentioned on here?
I've actually heard a little bit of buzz in this direction, and he definitely didn't get proportionate discussion in our Carousel thread.

It is totally not his fault that Mo Watson got hurt.....but boy would I like that resume more if they had finished the year as the Top 10 team they looked like when they had him.
His greatest ever coaching moment was, uh, reproductive in nature, y'know?
I would also be happy with the loser. This will be must-see TV.
To the people tracking flights and posting about them..... The flights to Omaha, Wilmington, etc yesterday DID NOT HAPPEN. Here is CMIs flightaware page. Yesterdays flights were under SCHEDULED DEPARTURES.

DEPARTURES is what to look for!!!!!
Plane identitys that begin with FSR are FlightStar planes, which are the planes that coaches, AD will use. Shad Khan owns FlightStar. This is also another plane that is supposedly owned by Khan not under Flightstar. https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N816FG

Sorry to keep beating the drum for Kruger, but I think did an amazing, and yet under rated job in his time here. You all debate whether Weber and Groce left a more bare cupboard, you should look back and see what Kruger inherited, and what he left for Self. NO ILLINI COACH HAS DONE SO MUCH WITH SO LITTLE IN SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. You younger guys need to go back and read a bit, and you will see how both Kruger and Self built the program that Weber took to the finals. As for the idea that Kruger didn't want to be here... He left Florida - whom he took to the final four - to be here, and he left us for a NBA paycheck w/o having to recruit. As I recall it came down to he and Izzo for the Hawks job. I sure never got the idea that he didn't want to be here. He left a great situation for us, and he left us for an even greater situation.
Lon Kruger left a great school in a great location that he took to the final four, to come here with an empty cupboard. The reason we don't appreciate him more is that he turned it around so quickly, and set us up for fantastic success after him.

If Gregg Marshall is ever going to be annoyed enough to leave Wichita, it's after getting a 10 seed with a 30-4 team.
You people are smoking some strange weed if you think Marshall is on the candidate list. Yes, Whitman would love to hire him, but he isn't taking Illinois phone call. A complete joke to say otherwise. Stop talking about him, it will NEVER, EVER happen.
