    3/25 Weekend Games

    I think Gonzaga has seen teams make a jump to a tougher league and either eventually or almost instantly regret it. Wichita State leaving the MVC for the American comes to mind, as does Temple leaving the A10 for the American. Gonzaga can have a year that is a little bit down and still give...

    College Hoops Coaching Carousel

    Don't post very often, but this list made me think a little bit and also do some investigation. What coaches that are making less money and would REALISTICALLY come here would we trade Brad for? I've always liked Brad, especially when he was at SFA, but I've wavered a little recently... Just...

    2021-22 College Hoops Coaching Carousel

    Agree 100%... Just off the top of my head, I think Dixon was the best coach in Pitt history. Pittsburgh hasn't even sniffed the bubble since then while TCU (yes, TCU) is a competitive Big 12 team that makes the NCAA Tournament more often than not under Dixon. Give fan bases like that what they want.

    OSU complaining about Holtmann is like when Pittsburgh fans were nagging about Jamie Dixon. Some fan bases gotta be stupid I guess.

    Agree with everything you said... Wasn't he at least our 3rd choice during that coaching search? He was probably lower than 3rd if the truth be told, but lots of guys were saying no to us at the time.

    3/26 Games

    General question... Do we think St. Peter's underachieved this year or are they just on an incredible heater with some luck thrown in? They finished a full 3 games behind Iona in the MAAC standings during the regular season and would have been in the CIT or something if they hadn't won their...

    Illini Basketball

    Okay I haven't read the entire thread to see any responses to this, but the sentiment rubs me the wrong way... Izzo took over in the 95-96 season and has made 8 Final Fours. He also has 10 Big Ten titles and 6 Big Ten Tournament titles. Also, Michigan State has NEVER MISSED THE POSTSEASON SINCE...

    2/21 Polls & Bracketology - Illinois #15 in AP Poll

    I think 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in the WCC would beat 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in the ACC head-to-head.

    2/23 Games

    Does anyone remember why St. Joseph's thought it was a good idea to not renew his contract? I think he's great.

    2/22 Games

    I hadn't payed too much attention to that aspect of it, but I think you are right... It's weird because it was just 2019 that they made the Final Four and he seemed to still be having a blast.

    Polls & Bracketology - Illinois #12 in AP Poll

    The top 4 teams from each league, if they are on the top 4 seed lines, will be sent to different regions. Teams will be placed in their 1st and 2nd Round site according to geography within their seed line, which means you could end up with an 11 seed having a HUGE home court advantage against a...

    2/19 Games

    Please stop... Santa Clara is 79th in KenPom. Oregon is 80th, Penn State is 81st, Cincinnati is 83rd, and Maryland is 86th. I know everyone hates Gonzaga, but this is not the game to pick as an example of playing a Patsy.

    In their defense, Moser was a complete disaster as a HC at Illinois State. Actually, Moser has never finished better than 5th place in the conference his teams play in without Cam Krutwig. That covers the Sun Belt, Horizon, and Missouri Valley. Never made the NCAA Tournament without Krutwig...

    Just enough might still get him fired with Mark Turgeon being available this off season.

    They are probably a 4 bid league...
