I'm drained after watching that game. Woo Pig Soooie!This piggy-West Texas High game is fun
It hurts me to admit it, but I’ve always liked Arkansas in basketball. Goes back to those fun Nolan teams I loved to watch when I was in middle school.I'm drained after watching that game. Woo Pig Soooie!

Moser reminds me a lot of another Jesuit University coach I root for. Hope you guys can keep himI’m a Loyola faculty member since 2012, so I’ve had a decent view of Moser’s work. He’s built an incredible culture, but where he really shines is as a teacher. His teams consistently execute at high levels and always play fundamentally sound basketball. I think those things are portable provided Moser finds the right athletic department, including an AD that’s patient and supportive of Moser’s process-oriented approach. Because Moser doesn’t have that charismatic, fire up the campus personality, an AD has to sell the idea that the results will pop 2-3 years from now
(As an aside, I have been at a few different schools, including an Ivy, and none have had an athletic department as focused on academics as at Loyola. They are on top of the students, and I’ve yet to have a single issue with a Loyola athlete. Comparatively, I was at Miami (FL) for a year and I saw some shit. One old, long tenured professor told me “Don’t fight it. They’ll bury you .”)
Anyway, if I’m running the search at IU or any of the other big time programs, I’d be concerned that Moser has never coached - not even as an assistant - in a place with pitched politics. How is he going to navigate the donors, the boosters, the sneaker company reps, the recruiting middle men, the elected officials, and at IU, that Knight guy who hovers over everything?
I’d also have questions about Moser’s ability to recruit at the highest levels. He hasn’t really punched above his weight despite being located in one of the best basketball towns in the world. He’s also never been an assistant at a school that chased top-50 guys. If landing those kids is part of the job description, you have take a bit of a leap to hire Moser.
My brother-in-law grew up hanging out with the Moser family. He says Notre Dame is Porter’s dream job, so watch that.
I’d love Loyola to hang on to Moser. He’s such a great fit for what our university is. But after today’s win, I’m resigned to the fact that he’ll be poached.
It's weird because Houston is leaving so many points at the FT line.Rutgers kinda blew this game.
The talk before today was, which would sting more - losing Moser to DePaul or Marquette? After this win, I wonder if Utah might get interested, particularly given Moser’s Majerus connections.Moser reminds me a lot of another Jesuit University coach I root for. Hope you guys can keep him
Way too soon. Mobley was fouled. And Harrick didn't cheat?Rutgers pulled a 98 URI down the stretch.
I was lucky enough to be at the Final 4 in 1994 and watch that team win. They were so much fun.Your secret is safe with me.
My son was pre-school during those glory years, so this is his first chance to see a good Razorback team. The defense, and the scoring off the defense, remind me of Nolan's teams.
More so if Rutgers hadn't blown their game.The Buddy Boeheim dream bracket is materializing.
To my admittedly untrained eye he looks like just another skinny guy launching threes; does not seem like a real difference-maker. Unfortunately I'm one of those very casual fans who bought into the Cade/OSU hype, and had them making the Final 4.I'm not a huge college bball guy but in the few times I saw Cunningham this year I was thoroughly underwhelmed every time.
Doesn't look anything like a #1 overall pick to me.
I watched to scout Loyola's next opponent.

Geez, I totally forgot there were men's games today. It's Monday and there usually aren't games on Monday (except for the title game, that is). Time to fire up YoutubeTV while I work!Garza with 20 with 4:29 left in the 1st Half.
It's been a really fun half. I'm not complaining about all the points and offense to get the day startedGeez, I totally forgot there were men's games today. It's Monday and there usually aren't games on Monday (except for the title game, that is). Time to fire up YoutubeTV while I work!
