    He last coached at ISU 15 years ago when he was in his mid 30s. If anything, landing an MVC head coaching job that early in your career would be a plus not a minus imo.

    I didn’t realize until yesterday that Custer is on his staff. Could definitely see him as the heir apparent.

    MVC moves to 3-1 in the NCAA Tournament this year and 22-14 since 2010. Time to start paying respect to mid-major conferences like the MVC.

    Moser is the hottest name to come out of a mid major program since Brad Stevens at Butler. To think he won’t have (and likely already has previously) multiple offers from power conference teams and possibly even an NBA team in the near future is shortsighted. If Underwood can get a solid Big Ten offer, people don’t think Moser can land an even better offer? LOL

    You’re still not giving Loyola the credit they deserve. Watch this video and you will have a better appreciation for the brilliance of Moser and Loyola’s D. And Krut stripping the ball from opposing guards isn’t anything new. Been doing it his entire college career.

    Curbelo is impressive but the guard that’s impressed me the most this tournament is the kid from Ohio U, Preston. Holy smokes, that kid can handle the rock. I didn’t see the game when they played Illinois earlier this season but apparently he was the best player on the court in that game too.

    It had nothing to do with a lack of intensity. Did they lack intensity against a bad Drexel team? Great defensive teams (like Loyola) tend to make good offensive teams look lethargic. No different than what a great pitcher does to a great lineup in baseball.

    Big Ten was overrated this year. Very good conference but people were talking about them like they were peak ACC. Not even close. There’s a bunch of really good teams in the conference but no dominant team.
  9. JUSTgottaBELIEVE
    Agreed. Loyola got no respect from the committee. Among my friends, no one gave them a chance in this game except me. I’ve seen them play 5 or 6 times this year. They play incredible team defense, keeps them in every game. Moser is the truth. Gets more out of his players than any coach in college. I also happen to be a bit biased because I’m an alum of an MVC school ha

    This Illinois-Loyola game is going to be a war. Mid majors showing up big time so far this tourney. First time ever four 13 seeds or worse have advanced to the second round.
  11. JUSTgottaBELIEVE
    Sox offense is going to be ridiculous this year if they stay healthy. Should be the best offense in the history of the franchise.
  12. JUSTgottaBELIEVE
    Exactly what this team needs. Lynn and Eaton will definitely shake things up and remove any sense of complacency that may have existed last season.
  13. JUSTgottaBELIEVE
    The people that complain about the Lance Lynn trade because he’s a “minor” upgrade from Dane Dunning this season (and loss in future years because of player control) are the same people that complain the Sox didn’t “go for it” in free agency this winter. That’s funny.
  14. JUSTgottaBELIEVE
    And yet despite all these failures, some are calling the White Sox the best team in the American League. Could be worse. ?

    He had a tough 2-3 week stretch in September but had a huge series against the Cubs the final series of the regular season and then a very good playoff series against the A’s. Calling Robert “risky” or whatever is lazy. He has one of the highest floors of any player on this team based on his defense alone.

    Bob is saying $3M

    Won’t matter. Division is terrible and Sox improved while their two top contenders regressed.
  18. JUSTgottaBELIEVE
    In this division, I’d be surprised if the Sox don’t win 100 games this season (assuming 162 game schedule).
  19. JUSTgottaBELIEVE
    The 2017 Astros team was the worst of those three teams. Ironically, it’s the only season they won a World Series. What does that tell me? Get to the dance and anything can happen. This isn’t the NBA where a true super team is a lock for a title.
  20. JUSTgottaBELIEVE
    Yankees are the ultimate high risk/high reward team. If their guys all play to their potential and stay healthy, no one is touching them in the AL. But the probability of their guys staying healthy is extremely low. I don’t think they’ve improved much from last year.
  21. JUSTgottaBELIEVE
    Ok, I’ll do it for you. Swap Marisnick with Aoki, Marwin with Beltran, and Peacock with Fiers. Your Astros total comes down to 37 compared to 35.6 for the Sox. Looks comparable to me! And the Sox aren’t done adding so that 35.6 will assuredly be higher by opening day. You can say the Astros had a better bench (possibly) but the Sox have a better bullpen. You can say that the Sox won’t add during the season to further strengthen the team but that’s just speculation. The FACT is that the projected opening day roster for 2021 White Sox is VERY comparable to the “super team” 2017 Houston Astros. Why is everyone complaining?
  22. JUSTgottaBELIEVE
    Why don’t you update your WAR totals with the correct opening day lineup for the Astros?
  23. JUSTgottaBELIEVE
    I didn’t even bother with the Sox side of the equation because it’s still January and they’re not done adding. But for an objective comparison of opening day lineups you have to use this article below from the Astros side. Note players like Beltran, Aoki, Fiers are in there and significantly alter the fWAR totals that the previous poster listed. And like I said, the team totals become nearly identical at that point, especially when you include the projected top bullpen contributors. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.sportingnews.com/us/amp/mlb/news/houston-astros-2017-projections-schedule-opening-day-roster-lineup-fantasy-baseball-odds/1qu7jjrdrtggi1gjz37qvll3md

    This entire post is garbage. You took the top 9 war producing players from the Astros lineup and top 5 WAR producing starting pitchers to make their lineup and staff look better than it was on opening day. Where’s Beltran? Where’s Aoki? Where’s Fiers? Where’s the bullpens? Try again with the Astros opening day lineup and you’ll see the White Sox projected opening day lineup in 2021 is VERY similar to this 2017 Astros “super team.”
  25. JUSTgottaBELIEVE
    Yea, a super team that gave Mike Fiers 28 starts and a young Lance McCullers 22. Also, had old ass Carlos Beltran as their starting DH and crappy Nori Aoki as their starting LF to begin the season. If they were a super team so are the 2021 White Sox.
