Look at last year's first round tournament results.......and look for a 4 or 5 seed that was upset in the first round..........and then tell me the name of the school.......and then tell me the name of the coach.......
yeah, he's great.........how many conference titles has he won? I am asking, cause I really don't know, but I could guess. His kriptonite is Creighton......ours is KU
Didn't Tan Tom have good tournament runs too?
Not really, he's 5-4 vs. Creighton the last 4 years, this year he swung and missed on clinching at least a share of the MVC regular season championship by losing games they shouldn't. He might have lost to Creighton twice this year, but he's still 2-3 against the amazing Doug McDermott in the last two years, one @WSU the other @ Creighton. He took Winthrop to 7 NCAA's, won the NIT two years ago. Admittedly he still needs to get more conference championships @WSU, but he knows what he's doing come postseason. However, in terms of who they got set up to get to the Elite 8 this year as a 9 seed, they really lucked out, Gonzaga was definitely an impressive win, but Gonzaga also was benefiting for feasting on the Big West and a down big 12. Not even counting Pitt because they are garbage in the NCAA. I'll give him props to getting to the Sweet 16, but getting to the Elite 8 in this instance was not as impressive, giving their competition, which once again begs the question, how the heck did we lose to La Salle. If he gets past tOSU (which I'd give them about a 35% chance) then he's earned himself at least to be talked about in the same league as Shaka and Brad.
