did Shrews just catch lightning in a bottle at Penn State with that group?

I think his level of success there is greatly exaggerated on this board because he won two games against the worst team BU has fielded since he turned this program around. He had one good season (in which he went 10-10 in conference, despite those two wins against us) and then immediately bailed before there was any way to know if it was the beginning of something or just a blip.

*3 times (including BTT).

But agree, the cupboard was bare after Pickett left. Good for him for securing a nice payday from ND. But appears his offensive prowess was a little exaggerated. ACC ain’t exactly a gauntlet these days.

'04-'05 was great, but for long-term health of the program, i wish guenther hired matta in 2003. (assuming he would come here. i've also read that even though he was from illinois, he didn't cared about us and grew up a hoosier fan.)

Sure would have been nice if Guenther had at least asked. But he wasn’t going to talk with anyone he thought would possibly use Illinois as a stepping stone.

Oh wow, not sure how I forgot the BTT game. My brain must have just walled that memory off for my own mental stability.

I don’t know if either would take it without a major financial commitment …

But they’d be the exact two I’d target …

Not sure how many on here know this but they’re actually brothers …

It's going to be a madhouse when they face each other in the elite eight

Sounds like some other names to know for Butler besides Shrews, Steele and Groce …

Ronald Nored … Ryan Pedon … Bob Richey …

Ryan Pedon? LOL. ISU hasn't improved much in his time there. Maybe their hoops budget blows. I dunno. I'm just surprised they're not a much better mid-major program. Probably need a new or upgraded arena.

i don't follow the redbirds closely, but they were preseason favorites in the mvc and finished a distant third. then they lost by 22 in arch madness to uni. i know uni made the ncaas, but still a poor showing by ILsu.

TOO SOON!!!! I would be a happier man if I had skipped all 3 of those games. I'm convinced that if we got all of the personnel and coaches back together and played again, we would lose. 4,5,6 in a row. If Brad closed his eyes and told one of the smarter players to coach, we might win.
