Porter Moser should be the guy

[MU82]

FIFY

Thanks for the fix, TAMU. His first and second place finishes in his conference truly were epic failures. Much worse than any of Shaka's seasons since his last NCAA tourney win.

[PhillyWarrior]

Loyola would wipe the floor with Wojo's "Warriors" LOL

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Name change time

[Heisenberg]

Moser is the new Brad Stevens, now we might have to compete with the NBA for his services.

[Blackhat]

I haven't followed the donors of late.  Does MU still have the bball money resources to offer a gigantic deal?

[Stretchdeltsig]

It was so refreshing to watch a well coached team after 7 years of high turnover Wojo ball. God I hope we can bring Moser to Marquette.

[Jockey]

Can he bring Krutwig as a grad transfer? 

A huge, huge upgrade over what we've had in the middle.

Well we just lit $9m on fire to make an underperforming bum (who was never qualified in the first place) go take a vacation.

If the program wants a big money guy and the interest is mutual, they will make it happen.

1.Beilein
2.Moser if we can get him or afford him
3.Gates
4.Shaka if he gets fired
5. Smith
6. DeVries
This Game just flipped Gates and Moser for me.

Went to MU undergrad Finance and MBA but Loyola was my other finalist for MBA.

[Pakuni]

Moser would coach circles around pretty much anyone else in the game right now. I'll be so sad if he's not the guy.

I mean, Loyola did lose to Wisconsin by 14 earlier this year. They also lost to Richmond and Drake.
Moser is very good, but he's not Basketball Jesus. Don't get too swept away by the results of one game.

[brewcity77]

I'm not anti-Moser, but this was predictable. He got a perfect second round matchup. He also got drubbed by Wisconsin this year. If Marquette goes for him, fine, but I'd have him probably 5th on my list, behind Smart, Gates, Smith, and (if no Patrick) Beilein.

I picked him to win this game, but falling in love with 1-2 game sample sizes is EXACTLY why Wojo lived off Nova for so long & why people this year were in his corner after Wisconsin and Creighton. If he really was turning his team into the new MVC Wichita, I'd be more interested. But anyone acting like 2 decent years in 4 is somehow on par with Gregg Marshall having 8 straight top-30 teams is living in a different reality.

[Norm]

I now have serious doubts Marquette could land him.  Marquette will probably go with an unproven assistant.

You are most likely correct. Marquette has never been able to land a guy like Moser off such recent success. Plus, his price tag just went way up after today and will go higher if he gets more tourney wins this year.

[GooooMarquette]

Moser now officially has more Sweet 16 appearances than Shaka, with far less resources.

Moser is the new Brad Stevens, now we might have to compete with the NBA for his services.

This board is officially off the rails. NBA? Gigantic deal?

He makes $1.1MM now. You think it's gonna cost $4MM to get him?

THANK YOU

[dgies9156]

Gang, mark my words, no way we are getting Moser.

Am a Loyola MBA and am proud of my secondary basketball team. Never expected this, even with Sister Jean.

I had Illinois as my national champ in my brackets. Shows what I know.

[The Sultan]

Would have to shovel out huge $$$ after this win.

He's making less than half what Wojo made.

[Blackhat]

To be fair, throughout the course of a whole season you are gonna have a handful of let down games.  Hard to get up for them all.  But your point is valid pakuni.

[Pakuni]

Moser makes $1.1 million at Loyola, and the school can't afford to go much higher. Blowing away his current compensation won't be a problem for Marquette. The only problem would be if Indiana or Minnesota get into the picture.

[GooooMarquette]

How was this the perfect second round matchup? Half of America had the Illini in the final four.

[The Lens]

What I like about Porter is in his "off years*"  he still competed for titles in his conference.  He may have been down nationally, he was still competing in his conference.

Single game results mean zero. We beat Wisconsin. We should be playing Baylor today!

[Blackhat]

Is Shaka gonna be fired?

[AlienWarrior]

This is one of the best games I've seen in some time. Loyola runs a smart and very effective offence and can defend the perimeter very well. A pleasure to watch great team ball.

[nyg]

I'll go with this Moser guy.  If he could keep the current MU core players and incoming recruits.  If he could do that today with a bunch of one and two star players, can't imagine what he could do with the highly ranked players.

He also seems well liked by his players.  That Trautwig had more assists and great passes in one game than any MU big had all year.  Impressive offensive scheme with lots of backdoor cuts.  Goof for them.

I'm hoping that highlighted line comes back to haunt you regarding Moser.
