Sad to see Davidson run out of the gym tonight after such a great season. They've always lived and died by the 3, and it sadly caught up with them tonight (6-26, 21%). Looking forward to many good battles with them in the future once we have a coach who doesn't get outwitted by the great Bob McKillop.

Missing 3 pt. FGAs is one thing, but their defense and rebounding against a soft Iowa squad was atrocious. A-10 not good in 2014-15.

Just heard while watching Dayton/Oklahoma game that winner goes to Cleveland. Potential of 5 games in their home state. Wow.

No, East Region is in Syracuse. Still not too far away.

Oh, ok. Dayton in a dogfight now.

Both are horrible, dreary cities where I have watched the NCAA tournament. Easy to get confused.

Gottlieb says some weird stuff. He just said, "It's a brilliant, but very smart strategy."

Murray St is ballin right now. The announcers are wearing some crazy stripes tonight.

Murray State should have been in the NCAA tournament. And I think they would have had a good chance of winning a game or two. And then everyone would be wanting Prohm. We might be getting a steal (provided we can actually get him).

I tthink hes locking down the Alabama job with this showcase....

Imagine how much it sucks to be a Murray State fan right now. First, you lose your conference tournament by one point after going undefeated in the regular season. Then you get snubbed by the NCAA and end up in the NIT, where you make a good run knowing full well you have no chance in hell of keeping your coach.

I don't feel bad for them. Then again, I am a d!ck.

With a homerun hire today, this could be us in a few years. Good problem to have I suppose. Conference helps too, but hopefully by then we have figured out how to be a "powerhouse".

This game isn't even close. Tulsa just got knocked on their a** and they don't really know what to do.

Gotlieb is an idiot but not very smart.

Smebody who follows recruiting closely needs to start looking at recruits Prohm, Brown and Young might bring with them. I imagine we might have at least one or two open scholarships.

 

[GSII]

If Prohm, I hope he brings his current Pg Payne.

Here's what I found as far as commits for the Class of 2015:

MURRAY STATE

• Justice Green, SG - 6'5", 180, 2* (Tuscaloosa, Alabama - Tuscaloosa County HS)
• Clentrell Pope, SF - 6'6", ??, 2* (Newbern, Alabama - Tuscaloosa County HS)

ALBANY

• Joe Cremo, SG - 6'3", 185, 2* (Scotia, New York - Scotia-Glenville HS)
• Kyle McKinley, C - 6'10", 210, 2* (Stillwater, Minnesota - Stillwater Area HS)

WOFFORD

• Trevor Stumpe, SG - 6'5", ??, 2* (Plainville, Illinois - Plainville North HS)
• Fletcher Magee, SG - 6'4", 180, 2* (Orlando, Florida - First Academy)
• Matt Pegram, C - 6'10", 235, 2* (Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina - Wando HS)

If Prohm, I hope he brings his current Pg Payne.

I'd prefer a player who doesn't have to sit out a year, but I guess we're in no position to be greedy.

Damn, nice work, CLP. That was quick. Nice looking list of prospects.

If I might take a quick detour from all the coach talk ...

I've heard several announcers refer to a 'loose ball foul' during the college game. I thought that was just an NBA thing. It's there an official loose ball foul in college or is it just a lazy announcer taking the easy way out and not taking the time to learn the rules of the college game?
