FromDaEastSide Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Highly recommend reading the article and watching the video about Porter and the program he’s built at Loyola Chicago. Lots of things from the Majerus era that he has brought with him to Chicago. Will be rooting for them next week in the MVC tourney. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/college/ct-spt-loyola-on-road-20180224-story.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I would think Loyola is in the dance without winning the MVC tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshoe Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 THe MVC teams always end up getting screwed come selection time. If ford leaves the program at some point, I’d be perfectly happy if Porter ended up as our coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see him building a Wich St./Gonzaga/Xavier type program and establishing roots in St. Louis, thereby putting an end to the "Hard to be a Billiken fan" phrase!

HoosierPal Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 You are correct on the MVC always on the short list of At-Large Teams. Missouri State was 21st RPI in 2006 and deemed not good enough by the selection committee. Moser is one of the 'hot candidates' for moving onward and upward. Chances are good he will receive interest from one of the many P5 schools who may elect or need to ditch their current coach. He is 9th on this writer's list of hot coaches. https://sports.yahoo.com/20-head-coaches-wholl-hot-commodities-college-basketball-coaching-carousel-starts-spin-232821867.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Heard the end of an interview between Frank and Porter last week. They mainly talked about how much he learned from Rick. Told a humerus story of how he was with Rick on an Indiana recruiting trip and they stopped at Culvers twice in a three hour period. Said he absolutely loved to recruit. That certainly showed here.

If Illinois State's season last year is any indication, the Ramblers will have to win out. With the departure of Wichita State The Valley is more of a 1 bid team than ever.

Loyola has to hold on today, but right now they have a better RPI, non conference RPI, much better record against top 100 teams than IL St had last season and better Pomeroy ranking. They have a stronger resume right now than ISU had last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was 51-67 and 22-50 in league play. I know there was some strange things that went on with his contract but he deserved to be let go.

majerus mojo Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Idk why (game was muted at bar) but they showed a lot of Yarbrough with his face in his jersey seemingly distraught postgame. Was weird lol. Ramblers will be the trendiest 12-seed upset going into the dance, and deservedly so. Fun team. Porter can have a run at coaching our guys any day* *post Ford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMM28 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Porter has done an incredible job there. Krutwig is going to be a stud. They’re a fun team to watch. They should be on the SLU schedule ASAP as a Home and Home. kcinstl likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
