What he did this year was pretty remarkable. Earl Grant was just fired from Boston College and I think he would be another solid option as well. He had a nice run at Charleston prior to taking the Boston College job so he has shown he can win and compete at this level. Boston College is a tough place to win. No shame in not being able to cut it at the P5 level. Edited 23 hours ago by kreed5120 1 Quote

I really thought Michael Lewis had a chance to build something at Ball State but it was all downhill after year 1. Burno was completely checked out Friday. NIU dressed nine players Friday. Almost looked like a scene from Hoosiers. What was up with that. A couple of the guards were actually good and played the passing lanes well, but the team did not look well-coached. Quote

As of Friday night, NIU is no longer a member, therefore this post is in the wrong thread. (Giving you a hard time, plus, that is fantastic to say lol) Quote

Let'sGoZips94 Posted 14 hours ago Report Posted 14 hours ago (edited) Marshall just lost to 10 seed Georgia Southern. UNCG lost to Furman earlier. Only Wright State remains as a potential conference champion in their OOC. They play Northern Kentucky tomorrow for the title. Edit: Technically Arkansas Pine Bluff is still in their conference tourney. Long shot to win it all. Edited 14 hours ago by Let'sGoZips94 Quote

What's crazy given the SunBelts absurd bracket is Georgia Southern has won 5 games in 5 days, which the announcers said has never been done before. They still need 1 more win to advance to the tournament. Quote

This year, Miami OH and Akron are rivals. Get. To. Saturday. I just read Groce's contract and if he makes that shot, Groce gets a $37,000 bonus for being champions of the MAC. 1 Quote

I told an NIU fan a day or two ago that if NIU never planned to fund basketball they should have just kept Montgomery. They would certainly be in a better position today if they had. He at least kept them in the middle of the pack in the MAC. Not really sure NIU can expect more out of a coach unless they start taking basketball seriously. 1 Quote
