A final payday before retiring would be my guess. 

I looked into this earlier and his salary appears to have gone from 250k at TSU to ~400k at DM. That doesn't seem like an obvious move to me when DM is seemingly a far worse job considering TSU hasn't really stopped going to the tournament since he left after his 4 appearances.

Makes perfect sense to me.

Like most people making $250k, they would change employers in a heartbeat for an 80% pay raise for basically similar work.

For a worse job, after already making well into six figures for about 20 years? Maybe Texas Southern was maxed out on what they could give him, but he had a good thing going there with 4 tournaments in 6 years and the grass obviously wasn't greener in Detroit.

I know very little about either school, so maybe TSU is a hole (and as an HBCU, that would unfortunately not be surprising), but it appears on the surface to be a better job.

Detroit Mercy is shooting 27.2% from three.  That makes them the better shooting perimeter team in this matchup....

IUPUI is shooting 24.6% from three -- making just 90 of 366 threes in 26 games.  For comparison, IU has made 32 more threes than IUPUI on just 6 less attempts.

Down 10 in the 2nd half is more like going to disaster's hotel room.

1-17 from 3 in first half.    Worst they have played all year.

I know I’m a gigantic homer, but I haven’t felt super uncomfortable yet. Their hot streaks are devastating. 

Kent going down is a major development though.

RJ Davis is probably one of the best if not the best player in college basketball this year. At least of the players I’ve had the opportunity to watch.

Pitt about to score a pretty big upset at UVA -- up 70-59 with aboute a minute to go. 

Cavs had won 8 in a row overall and 23 in a row at home (longest in nation). 

Also, UVA hadn't allowed an ACC team to score 70 in Charlottesville in 48 games.  

[FortWayneHoosier 6,492]

Syracuse up by 7. Judah Mintz (definitely the coolest name in cbb) has 23 points and 8-11 from the floor. 
 

Forgot to mention Syracuse is shooting 65 % from the floor

Well I guess we can scratch Schertz off the candidate list.   lol
