I love the league and will be actively cheering for all our members in post season play.

Creighton will be back, Xavier has a bunch of guys returning, Cooley seems like he's got it figured out at Providence. Once MU gets cooking again, it's gonna be a lot of fun.

My guess is that Seton Hall and DePaul will be replacing coaches.  Hopefully they both can upgrade.

Dan Hurley to SHU seems like a no-brainer to me.

DePaul is a dumpster fire lead by an athletic director without a clue.

I'd be surprised to see Willard dismissed already.

Yeah, the guy landed a Micky D's AA and Delgado. Let's see how he does with his young talent over the next year or two.

Honestly, SH has the makings a pretty damn good team. Both Whitehead and Delgado play the game with a great deal of passion. I am a huge fan of Sterling Gibbs and Carrington has the skill set to be a very good player..They play like an AAU team with each guy trying to get theirs, Whitehead specifically, but I like their chances of coming into conference play ranked next year if Willard can control the egos.

Yeah everyone seems to be saying he will get at least one more year.  I doubt its going to happen for him though.

I just can't see how they can retain Willard. Sina left, reports of strife in the locker room public enough that it was discussed by Gus and Raft on the broadcast last night, and rumors that Gibbs may leave as a graduate transfer (though he's currently denying it).

I always thought Willard would turn it around there. They were probably 1 win from making the tourney his second year with Theodore and Pope as seniors, but missed out and haven't sniffed the postseason since.

He had one decent year with someone else's players, had one good recruiting class that he couldn't do anything with (but drive his team apart), and is 1 game over .500 in his 5 years there. Definitely doesn't pass the Chicos test...time to let him go.

Too bad he plays in the BE. Huge fan of his game.

From that pic of Val, it seems that she is still shopping for office furniture
