Didn't anyone watch Northern Iowa and Wichita State? Wichita is really good. Play great team basketball. Unbelievably well coached. Would have to say Marshall would be at the top of my list to replace Crean at this point.

Only concern is can he recruit at a high level. His teams are solid on both sides of the ball. He may not need stars to win.

Ha, just saw him on ESPN. He reminds me of my high school gym teacher. We go outside on a windy day and watch out. His toupee would blow all over the place.


I was just saying the same thing about his "hair". His forehead would move but just slide under his rug.

I get so tired of Cauley-Stein staring someone down after he blocks a guard's shot. Dude, you're 7'0 feet tall. You're SUPPOSED to do that!


If he was 5ft 10 he couldn't play on a good JrHigh team.

He is like Stevens. Recruits to the kids that can do what HE wants not what they want.


I want a coach that can recruit both the unheralded kids and blue chips that can play in his system. He develops both and has success at IU. I think in this day and age you need to show that you can put kids in the NBA. Also it gives fans someone to follow after college.

I watched a lot of this game, and to be honest other than the UK tourney game last year I haven't watched a ton of WSU the last few years. Well, I came away really impressed. Marshall wants to play an uptempo style, but also puts a great emphasis on defense. I saw a guy like Ron Baker putting a ton of pressure on the ball defensively, and while Baker is somewhat athletic, is he any more athletic than guys like Troy, JBJ, RoJo, Stan, etc?

I was really impressed with Marshall and WSU.

But man it's been tough trying to tell the two teams apart because of the uniforms. Both teams wearing dark unis

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that. Figured it was just my eyes.

Update for everyone: AZ won, by the way. Now Gonzaga down 8 to BYU with 10 left.

I didn't buy Gonzaga's lofty ranking last year nor do I this year.
