Crazy that it has been 17 years since SIU last made the NCAA tournament.  In the 15 previous seasons before that they went 9 times with two Sweet Sixteens.

Parrish and Norlander were discussing on their podcast how SIUC had 2 big time players in the B10 this season on their team last year and didn't win the MVC.  Just shows you can't be good in just one area unless you're really really elite in that area.

-we lost to them by 39 or 41 and it wasn't that close

Wow. What a journey for Danny Sprinkle the last 5 years: head coach at his Alma mater Montana State, then off to Utah State where he has the Aggies at 25-5 and ranked in the top 25 in his first year where expectations were definitely not high, now possibly back to his home state of Washington for a P6-1=5 job? Spokane just 75 miles from his hometown. Curious to see how he does at Washington because If I were Danny, that Zags job would be at the top of my list once Few retires.

I think long term UW is a better job than Zags. Just more alumni support, more money, bigger conference.  What the Zags have done is amazing but if it lasts past Few I'll be surprised.

Definitely agree P5 has more resources than Gonzaga. Long term though, I fully expect the Zags to be playing in a P5 conference. UW is definitely a great job but I get the impression it’s more of a football school. Parlaying that UW job into a better P5 job > Gonzaga job.

The only P5 conference (after the PAC 12 disintegrates) that they could be in is the Big East.  No football will keep them out of the others.

We’ll see, I wouldn’t rule anything out at this point. It’s not like BE would be bad move. National Championships this century: BE 6, P12/B10 1.  Again, just personal opinion but to me a basketball-centric school with a foundation of 2 decades of success would be more appealing to me than a middle-of-the-road P5 school. Especially If that school was in my backyard. But money talks and it would definitely be a gamble.
 

Assuming Sprinkle has lot of success at U Dub then the next step would be a top P5 job which is clearly a better landing spot than Gonzaga.

If Sprinkle has success at UW he won’t leave. UW Is a major athletic school in a very major conference. They may not be in the blue blood category, but they ain’t exactly chopped liver either.

And they will be a Big Ten team, you don’t leave that for a basketball only school.

Good point. I somehow simultaneously know UW is moving to the B10 but also forget they’re moving to the B10

Yeah I guess that was a pretty bad take on my part. Boy is my face red.

Good timing, SLU hires Schertz he does well in 3-4 years gets hired  away by a Blue Blood we replace him with McCollum after he does well at SMS. Keep the machine going.

Long range planning

Porter Moser to DePaul?

I hope so as a Texas fan I hate seeing Moser who I like at DePaul.  But as a Texas fan he's 0-6 vs Texas so that's nice too 

Can't blame him for wanting out of OK

A coach leaving KenPom’s top-ranked college basketball conference a year after an at-large bid to take a coaching position at a basketball-only school where coaches seem to go to die? Some on here would say impossible.
