Re: For those who are freaking out about Kowalczyk

For those upset about a non-sexy vanilla hire I’ll say this — I’m ready for some stability to come to this program as we are now on our fourth coach since Smith left four years ago. The coaches at SDS, CSU, BSU and Nevada are decidedly not sexy either.

Re: NCAA Tournament Seed?

Right now in the NCAA bracket matrix, USU is a 7 seed, but right on the cusp of being a 6 seed.

Assuming Nevada moves up 1 spot in the NET, we would then become only the 5th team in the entire...

Re: The Net rankings are losing my trust

This late in the season the results of a single game is not going to have a tremendous effect on NET movement. RUTS certainly has an effect.

I am so weary of the drama. If Sprinkle does depart USU wil have had 6 coaches during the time Leon Rice has been the HC at BSU. The notion that it’s possible to pick up the pieces every two to three years is fiction. Continuity is the hallmark of a great program not constant turnover. And even that...
