You're right! There is an NIU and an outline of the state of Illinois at center court... if you squint you can kind of see it 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to hop on the PC to be able to pause it more accurately. We're so damn tall and athletic anymore, it's hard to tell the difference between players without jersey numbers. Very good sign.

Losing skids can happen fast to the unaware, but this coach and the AD who hired him know the MAC. Would not be surprised to see BG as a Top 4 MAC Tournament seed, and a tough out in Cleveland.

His Southern Utah squad beat PCCC in a postseason tournament 2 seasons ago. They were towards the top of the leaderboard for highest scoring teams in the country. I fully expect BUGS to be uber competitive immediately, and maybe be a top MAC program as long as he's there.

If he was at Southern Utah, and Bandago, who was at Utah Valley, thrived under him, he definitely is an amazing coach! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doh! You're right. File schools in Utah not named Utah, Utah State, or BYU under the Directional Michigan category. Confusing and who really cares. 😂 In fact, BUGS' new coach made me care about Southern Utah for a moment, that's how good of a coach he is.
