The weirdest thing happened Tuesday when Louisiana Tech coach Michael White was asked if he'd view this season as NCAA tournament-or-bust for the Bulldogs.

He gave an honest answer.

Instead of launching into a canned one-game-at-a-time diatribe or attempting to lower expectations in hopes of over-delivering, White admitted the NCAA tournament was his team's benchmark for success or failure this season. Louisiana Tech returns four starters from a team that won 27 games a year ago but collapsed in March, dropping its final two regular season games before unraveling in a stunning WAC quarterfinal loss to ninth-seeded Texas-San Antonio.

He's done a phenomenal job at Tech.

And he must have a special eye for talent, with all of those really good players having so few offers.

A guy like that - he won't wait for Ole Miss. Almost any P5 job would be of interest to him. He could figure out how to win anywhere.

White is a little bit smarter than average and will wait for a really good P5 job where he can win. I think his father is the AD at Duke.
