It's Kentucky basketball. Nothing would surprise me. I just can't see that fanbase thinking an ISU coach is a big enough name for them.

Oats would be great there. Otz and his current style would not fit at all.
im not worried about losing otz.. not one bit
but its just the money theyd shell out... seems like a far stretch but we've seen schools do it lol
I get that but with the prominence of even a few teams like UCLA and Arizona and Gonzaga it’s still a stat that is kinda nuts. It’s not like the west has never been good. UCLA owned the country for like 20 years back in the day.
I'm still baffled by DeVries' usage or lack thereof of Tucker late in that game last night and Tucker not hunting shots with the game on the line. I'm surprised it's not being talked about more.
These schools/fans are so stupid. Always need to make a "splashy" higher
There are so many good assistants or mid-major coaches that could probably win big there.
You don't have to pay them $10M per year . Give them $3-4M with incentives for wins/post season, on something like a 5 year contract.
If it works out, you can add another year to the contract every year if you need to.
If you're Kentucky and a coach has things rolling, where are they going to go? You're one of the top jobs.
And if they do jump to Texas or some school willing to pay a crazy contract, tell them good luck and go find the next guy.
The problem is these schools are always using someone else's money (boosters) so what do they care if they light $30M on fire
Yeah I don't think change happens this year but it's obvious his seat is heating up.
You're right, and if you're not on the coast there isn't much in the west...it's pretty barren. But that's still 27 years! No one from California, Arizona or Oregon has won it, and there are some good basketball schools in there.
Adding to the stat, El Paso is on the western tip of Texas. It is 330 miles from Phoenix. It's 575 miles from Dallas. Texas be big.
Everyone was worried about Kansas' depth. How did we all forget about the 3 extra guys in stripes that always make the critical difference for them?
Pardon My take had Matt Jones from Kentucky Sports Radio on and they mentioned TJ's name is passing and he just kind of laughed. Nowhere near splashy enough for their fanbase.
In fairness, in real time, we all thought it was a foul- there was no outrage. Then you see the slo mo replay and its like "oh my that was super clean"
I don't watch Drake basketball, but he looked completely uninterested in taking the big shot. Definitely didn't seem like he has onions like Donovan Jackson.
Notice on CBS CBB scoreboard they have no line for Michigan State north Carolina. Is there an injury keeping that off the board?
The Iowa board is funny since last night. With the choke job last night by Drake and the same choke job by Drake last year against Miami, now many are saying 'no thanks' for Devries to replace Fran.
Truth be told, I think Devries ends up at Okie State

And if they both do, does one actually have to win, or do they both find a way to lose?
