Seems like a pretty good chance that any of the Belmont guys that enter the portal will follow their coach to KSU.

In addition to being joyless, willie is unoriginal - he keeps making essentially the same comment over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

I will be forever grateful that our alma mater denied him entry.

That last Lickliter team was really good, but they were still a low mid major (albeit a very successful one) at best cause of how weak their conference was.  Lot of winning both the MCC/Horizon, and the tournament, and getting a 10/11/12.  Hell, the first two Stevens teams went 30-2 and 25-4 and got 8 seeds.  The MAC has fallen off over the last 15 years but was pretty often a 2 bid (or borderline 2 bid) conference back then. Butler was probably the best program by a safe margin between the Horizon/MAC combined, but a coach leaving a good MAC school for Butler would have been nuts, pre-Stevens, as it was a clear step down in conference.

Horizon.

Quote from: Juan Anderson's Mixtape on Today at 10:45:59 AMElite shooter and offensive player.  Negative D-BPR, so a weak defender.  Seems like the polar opposite of Miles Byrd.

If only we could put Byrd and Lundblade into a blender!

Quote from: Pakuni on Today at 12:13:36 PMStevens obviously brought the program to new heights, but they were a really good low/mid-major before he became head coach. In the 10 years before Stevens, they won 20+ games eight times, made six NCAA tournaments and advanced to the second weekend in two of them.
I imagine Butler fans would be thrilled with that kind of outcome these days.

Agreed, but it still speaks to how crazy of an ascension Stevens brought to Butler basketball that its reasonable that they could make a run at Steele if they desired.

She won't be back until Jimmy Butler is shown his proper respect.

Quote from: Pakuni on Today at 02:16:18 PMPope Leo is 🔥🔥🔥

Pope Leo XIV called out depictions of war that transform it "into a video game," days after a series of White House social media posts spliced footage of real bomb strikes with clips from popular gaming titles.
Speaking March 16 to the staff of the Italian state television program, TG2, the pope said it is up to journalists "to show the sufferings that war always brings to the people; to show the face of war and to relate it through the eyes of the victims, so as not to transform it into a video game."
"Always, but especially in the dramatic circumstances of war, such as those we are currently experiencing, the media must guard against the risk of becoming propaganda," Leo said. "And the task of journalists, in verifying the news so as not to become a mouthpiece for those in power, becomes even more urgent and delicate — I would say essential."

This pope probably doesn't have an autographed Bible

Oh, and she demands that Marquette bring back the Medical School too. Herman was quite persuasive.

She's got a great neck, but her pogo stick days are well behind her.
