"This is a young man who has not played varsity basketball for three years, who played intramural basketball last year at OSU, and who now is a...

Jay was a DU fraternity brother of mine from Edmond, Ok. He originally signed and played 1 year at ORU and then joined DU at OSU. He was a heck of athlete. We won Greek intramurals a few years in a row. Bill Self and the rest of the Edmond boys would be over at the house playing 3 v 3. Jay...

Aw...Mahcoe Moore...I think we were in the semi-finals of the GDI side and he was a no-show. Remember that well. We basically played with 4 guys because mark F. couldn't shoot. :) But you're right...we would throw alley-oops off the backboard and he would dunk it. that would have been spring...

TH commented that first priority is to win the weekend series (finish high in conf standings) to be able to host regional, then win mid-week games against high RPI to earn a National Seed. I believe that's the right strategy just unfortunately last night DBU made a few more plays than we did...

Agree 100%...I didn't hear post game but I think maybe JH was giving Ritchie/Bruggeman some reps in the field. Ritchie seems more comfortable in LF than 3B.

In theory that sounds good but practically a mid-major team is not going to travel 6+ hrs on a bus to play 1 game when they can play power 5 within 2-3 hrs. The players would basically lose 2 days of class traveling. The current schedule of close proximity of high RPI teams is fine...just have...

Don't trust Poke Scoop. If John Holcomb mentions a candidate's name, there's more substance there. Yesterday, Holcomb mentioned on the radio and the 10 pm sportscast that a decision could be made today with Lutz the leading candidate.

One would think an announcement would be preeminent if McCollum is the next coach. NWMo St season ended last Tuesday. Makes me think it is someone else. Is Wieberg working in Stillwater or travelling?

Pat Jones said on his call-in show last week that he is the reason AD Roderick hired Coach Sutton. PJ said Mryon called and said "hey pat, what do you know about this cat that got fired from UK?" pat said, "well, Myron...all I know is he has won everywhere he's been and by and large that...

Does anyone know the whereabouts of ADCW today?

I totally agree. GCU could have beaten Alabama if it had a game plan. I've seen enough of ISO offense the last 7 years that lead to losing basketball that I don't want see that style of basketball here again for a while. Bryce Drew's coaching yesterday eliminated him off my "wish" list.

Team standings after Session 1

You may be right on the ceiling part but Alford has proven to be a better coach over time than TF if we're comparing winning %, conference finishes, tournament appearances and record. I'm not advocating to hire Alford but I think he would be an improvement over our last 4 hires. I still like...

Thank you for putting this together! My two choices are 1) Devries - Drake and 2) McCollum - NW Miss St. These are 2 proven experienced winners at lower level that remind me of Tech's McCasland. Alford - Nevada would be third choice. Of the 3 choices, Alford is the safe hire. He brings name...
