As soon as Texas' season is over, I suspect he will be named their next head coach.
Why would they do that - Texas’ current seem to be doing pretty well to me with their current coach. Any potential suitor for Calipari better beware - the tread is worn off the tire with him. He’s gotten fat,, he is very rich, and just doesn’t have it in him to inject energy into any program at this point. Remember, when he was 50 and had just taken the UK job someone asked him how long he intended to stay - his reply was that if he was still coaching and not retired by age 60, then something went wrong. I think Calipari mainly likes coaching because of the money and fame it brings, rather than the actual coaching. I think Tom Izzo or John Thompson are examples of someone who really likes to coach. Since Penny is already rich, I have to believe he falls in the latter category, as well, provided he can stomach the inevitable criticism that comes with the job.

Both FDU and FAU look more focused and intense than we looked on Friday.

Looks like FAU will be the team to beat next season in the AAC.

They will lose their coach to a marginally better program and will be crap again next year.

Should be a contender, but we don’t know what our full roster will look like yet. We have some good talent coming in; hopefully we will find some studs in the portal.

We should have been going to MSG.. but instead, we gave the game away to FAU.
Creighton got rid of Baylor.. A lot of good teams are gone.. it opens the door for Alabama and Tennecheat to meet in the Elite 8 game.

You mean final 4 game?
UT will play Kansas state or Michigan state in the elite 8 and IMO will most likely win against either of those teams unfortunately

Some are saying FDU coach's salary was $40k per year. Wild, if true.

No way, Jose!.. I know FDU is a small school in Hackensack, NJ.. but 40K a year for a Division 1 basketball program is just ludicrous.
