Saw an article early in the year talking about how Buzz used the transfer portal to target younger guys in hopes of building for 2-3 years down the road as opposed to getting 1 year type guys.

If that is the case, you can make an argument that he is ahead of schedule.

Buzz is an excellent coach.  I would doubt he is on the hot seat at all.
He's ahead of schedule after missing the tournament for the 3rd year? I'm not saying he's currently on the hot seat, but if he misses again next year with a $4/yr salary, I would expect for things to heat up for him. I think he's a fine coach, but around here it seems like he's graded on a curve because of the jobs he taken since MU.

I don't have a ton of sympathy for them not making the dance this year, but the arrow is pointing up for them next season.  I believe a good chunk of that roster is back.

It'd be prettt egregious not to dance next season just glancing at the possible returning minutes

Only one senior.  Several players that have already transferred once, so Buzz should have a solid returning core.

the WNBA Sky's games are often better attended.
My first inclination was to call BS on this. So I looked it up. The average Sky attendance last year was 2988. This past year, NW had 6 games with attendance under 2988, and that includes 2 Big Ten games under that mark, and students get in free. Pathetic. Time for Tom Crean to make in appearance back in the Big 10.

Pre-renovation, I could kind of see it.  Cause Welsh-Ryan was a dump with mediocre sightlines and an antique scoreboard.  But after the renovation, there isn't much excuse.

I looked it up before I wrote it. Imagine that! Really eye-opening.

Good thing Pat Ryan has decided a $480 million gift is best spent on NU football. What a terrible use of wealth.

In the roughly 30 years between Ara Parseghian and Pat Ryan becoming heavily involved with NU athletics, the football team won less than 70 games...total.  Pat Fitzgerald has won more than that in the last 10 years alone, and thats including 2 terrible seasons in the last 3 years.   Sure they are not Alabama, but the thought of Northwestern football being a winning program, much less borderline top 25 many years, was unheard of.

Probably much more enjoyable than a big donation to a school just to be on a library or lecture hall.  It would be better spent on the Bears, but Virginia is unfortunately immortal like Queen Elizabeth.

The library and lecture hall at NU would actually get used

Sean Miller or Chris Mack coming back?

What's hilarious is both are extremely dirty so it'll be fun to watch Xavier fans still claim to be a clean program.

Also they could go after Thad Matta... kind of a weird opportunity for them to hire any extremely succcessful former coach.

Is Niko Medved's name being tossed around anywhere?

Would think he would get some national interest.

Xavier's reporters are saying Sean Miller recently bought a house in Cincinnati.  And that South Carolina is going to make a run at Miller, so Xavier made this move now.

God if Miller got the Xavier job that would immediately make them 1000x more unlikeable

Who would ever want to coach Xavier? They can't do better. Nobody will want that job after firing Steele after the job he did. They will loose all their players. They will loose all their recruits. This will set them back 10 years.


My cut and paste from MUScoop the past two/three years.

I can't believe they would can Steele now and derail this NIT run

Agreed.  Too bad Buzz is gone.  The sweat wars those two would have would be something to see.

Agreed. I seriously don't think Miller should coach college basketball ever again.

Strange.  X just won its first NIT game last night.  Why not wait until NIT is over?

Travis Steele will go into the market with a winning record and no losing seasons. Someone will pick him up.

Miller, Mack or Mata would all be good picks.

The rumor from Xavier's reporter is that South Carolina was going to make a run at Miller and Xavier wants Miller.

My guess is the Xavier reporter really doesn't have any inside information on any of it.
