LIHoosier Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Thanks to the need for every team to be in a conference tournament, RPI 257/KenPom 262 Milwaukee are playing for the Horizon bid and are still the game with 8 minutes left. ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote

VeevlandBrowns Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Mid major names to watch for in moving up to Power 5 + 3 (Big East, American, A-10) jobs: Kevin Keatts - UNC Wilmington Joe Dooley - FGCU. Former KU assistant. 2nd straight NCAA bid. John Becker - Vermont. 67% winning percentage overall and 81% in the league over 6 years. Playing for a Tournament championship and NCAA bid. Pat Kelsey - Winthrop. Former assistant at Xavier and Wake Forest. 64% WP overall, 65% in league. Won regular season Big South titles the last two years and just won their Tournament on Sunday to earn his first NCAA trip. King Rice - Monmouth. Second straight year he's won the MAAC regular season and failed in the tournament, so probably not going to be dancing. Still, I would think he's a name which will pop up on some openings. Dan Muller - Illinois State. Regular season co-champ in the MVC. 62/63% WP in 5 years on the job and steady improvement every season. Have to think he's at least a second tier candidate at Missouri and Illinois if that job opens up. Nebraska as well if they decide to fire Tim Miles. Eric Musselman - Nevada. Great results in two years in Reno but have to think most would be suspicious about long term goals, given his extensive NBA/CBA/DLeague background. That said, he was an ASU assistant for two years and an LSU assistant for a year prior to getting the Nevada job. 52 years old, so probably still young enough that age isn't a negative. Leon Rice - Boise State. Not as hot as some of the other names here because his team didn't win its league or anything, but he continues to put up strong seasons (3rd this year in the Mountain West) and he's done it long enough that I think he'd make sense for someone, especially West of the Mississippi. Nathan Davis - Bucknell. He's only had two years there but they've been very strong in the regular season (29-7 over those two years) and they play for a Tournament championship today. Before that, he was head coach at D3 Randolph Macon and had a 78/80% WP over 6 years, making the NCAA Tournament in every season and getting to one Final Four and an Elite Eight. Maybe more risk than some other names here because of the short period in D1 but you can't argue with the W/L record. Brett Reed - Lehigh. A native of Waterford, they're playing Bucknell for that Patriot title today. He's got a good record 58% both overall and in the conference over 10 seasons. Still remarkably young given how long he's been a head coach (only 44). He doesn't have the knockout year in, year out consistency that some other guys here have but he's made two NCAA Tournaments already and today might make his third. Steve Forbes - East Tennessee State. Sort of similar to Davis in that he's only got two years as a D1 head coach but they are really impressive ones...24-12 and then 27-8 with back to back 14-4 years in the conference. Just won a Tournament bid. Crazy good record at the JUCO level and then Gregg Marshall hired him to be an assistant at Wichita State. He's also done time at Tennessee and Texas A&M, so D1 power conference basketball is not unfamiliar territory at all. Scott Cross - UT Arlington. Has a Sun Belt Tournament coming up but his record at UT-A is pretty sterling regardless. 14-4 and regular season champs this year, 3rd place last year. Overall he's "only" at 55% WP but he's young at 42 and I think he's going to be an appealing name based on recency of winning. I've eliminated some guys whose records would indicate they'd be candidates but who are a bit old to get the nod... Kermit Davis at MTSU, Tim Cluess at Iona, Rick Byrd at Belmont, etc. Quote

Uspshoosier Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Cuse loses. Wayne will be happy. Cuse is an interesting case. 3 top 15 wins at home and 4 sub 100 losses. 2 wins away from home. A lot of people have them in. With how the committee did things last year they should be in but honestly I have them right on the edge Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners WayneFleekHoosier 1 Quote

The committee will take into account their run as a lower seed last year. There's no formula for it, but it'll be taken into account. Plus they bring viewership.

Class of '66 Old Fart Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Rutgers leading Ohio State 43-41 with 12 min. left to play. If Rutgers should somehow hang on and win this game do you think the Ohio State AD will ask for a mulligan on his previously announced vote of confidence for Matta? ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote

Gene Smith will just have a van fly down I-70 westbound at 100 mph and abduct Archie. Shoot first, ask questions later. Class of '66 Old Fart, hsrtxp and ALASKA HOOSIER 3 Quote
