Yeah, this seems like a half-hearted "Keep 'em guessing" move that's technically justifiabale because Houser is at least making a few throws in practice. I think UCLA is the earliest we'll see him.
Former LSU coach Dale Brown dies at 90. Memorable two-game series that started with the Flying Illini beating them 127-100 (with only eight threes!) down there. We ran over them so badly, at one point Brown asked, "Which damn one of them was that dunking on us now?!" When we won two years later...
When Malik Washington, who was the latest big DC-area recruit that Locksley is known for getting, essentially gave an Ivan Drago-esque "If he's fired, he's fired" reaction when the subject was raised after the Rutgers loss, you knew he was in trouble.
Cincy announcer: "You're not playing Ohio State who can't shoot. This was the most efficient offense in the nation last year."
Also: "How did a team that made the Final Four last year finish #5 in the nation? Make it make sense."
According to this setlist site, Brian Setzer closed his Farm Aid set with "Rock this Town." That's a pretty cool one, with the "You look at me once/you look at me twice/you look at me again and there's a-gonna be a fight..." and all...
Sad news. Some ups and downs on the court the last few years, but I've always liked Pikiell going to back to when he coached Stony Brook against us in the NIT.
