after they fired Scott Cross after last season. He had "only" won 72 games the last 3 seasons and 2 straight Sun Belt regular season titles. The AD wanted a coach who would regularly take them to the NCAA tournament. Good luck with that.

Yeah. Cross will be back in a head coaching spot farther up the latter before they get back to the Dance.

Yeah, you kinda had to wonder what that AD was smoking when he made that move.

Interesting. Only correctly spelled cuss words get filtered. Need to remember that.

Don't think it matters who the coach is this year. Cross shot the wad last season with eight seniors. Not a senior left on this team. It's a rebuild job.
