    Yes, it's him.  He's from San Ramon Valley High in Contra Costa County, not far from Cal Berkeley on the other side of the Caldicott Tunnel.

    So a former Cal player, Jared Haase is coaching Stanford, while Mark Madsen, a former Stanford player, will be coaching arch-rival Cal.

    And Cal will not be down forever.  Cal has had a number of good basketball teams over the years.  Jason Kidd played hoops at Cal, as did former Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson and many others.

    I was at that game at what was then Key Arena...had to look it up Madsen had 15 points. Zags shot lights out from 3 point land and got the upset win. That was when Monson was their HC.

    Former Stanford player and current Utah Valley Coach Mark "Mad Dog" Madsen is in line to be the next Cal Coach.  He would be a good hire, an up and coming coach with Bay Area ties.

    Thinking he played in the NCAA Tourney Game I saw Gonzaga beat Stanford. If he's the same Stanford I'm thinking about he was a star for them. That was a good game too!

    Welp now you’ve done it! Any chance we had at him you just pissed away. I read on this board that recruits read this stuff and are so soft that any negativity will scare them off.

    Thanks a lot!! 

    diary...Caleb Love would be nice for SLU but you shouldn't get your hopes too high. Lot's of Power 5 U's also want him too, and in UNC he's leaving a basketball U with a whole bunch of success in their past. No substantiated rumor on any leader so far, but it will be interesting to see who wins the NIL battle for his services.

    I was there. Those were the good times. I've never been more optimistic after a loss than that day. Just before we had watched SPUMAC and "faith in haith" get taken down by... Norfolk State. And Coach K got way more Lehigh than he ever wanted in his life.

     

    That was truly the best basketball trip i've ever been on.

    I felt the same way about Billiken Hoops even in defeat they played a very good game. Made me proud to be a SLU Alum and Billiken fan.

    Most fun I had attending basketball games were the two Final Fours I attended by being a SLU season ticket holder. Both were held at the St. Louis Arena. First one UCLA beat what was Memphis State. The second one Kentucky beat Duke. Nothing better than attending a Final Four!

    Miami FL  was also in the Elite 8 last year too. Pack didn’t play on that team. Pack is a good player. Out of 24 All Conference ACC players this year, Nigel Pack didn’t make any of the All Conference teams. 3 other Miami players did. 

    It’s important for SLU to have NIL money moving forward. Few will disagree with that. I’m all for that. But many teams have won at high levels this year without big NIL money. And it isn’t the reason SLU’s results were less than some others this year.

     

     

    And it isn't the reason SLU's results were less than some others this year. Very well said...NIL money alone will unfortunately not be the savior for our SLU hoops program. No question it would help, if other important things are put in place too!

    If I handle the first million, can you handle the second million?  Then the rest of the MBM's can throw in the misc. $200.000.

     

    Forgot to mention that in Jim Larranaga the U has a HC who has had a successful track record in not only finding talent but in developing the talent so that you see his teams no matter where he was HC in the past make deep NCAA runs. Lest we forget his 1st Final 4 was with Mid Major George Mason. His record as a successful HC must be factored into the equation too!

    i think it demonstrates that they arent as much of an upset as the NCAA and the power 5 conferences want the college basketball world to believe.   the supposed mid majors are much better than what they want us to believe.   That said, the new NiL b.s. and the liberal use of the portal and the changing of the rules for sitting out when transferring will imo continue to move things to a level and divide the NCAA is wanting.   it's all about the money and they do not want us mid majors sharing if possible.  

    But look who is in the Final 4 Florida Atlantic University. Hmm...what do you think that says if they are the ones cutting the nets down next Monday???
