Final: BU 63 UIC 62

We had an NCAA bid A COUPLE years ago? That's news to me. I remember one getting about 7 years ago. In fact a couple years ago I don't believe we were anywhere close to getting invited to the NCAA tournament.

OH maybe this has been said..

a friend of mine at the UIC game said KB's HS team Oak Park River Forest was sitting in front of him at the game....kinda neat... they got any studs on the rise?

..the general pattern has been that our short bench plus the adjustments THE OTHER TEAM makes in the 2nd half are what kills us

..if it ain't broke?

You fail to miss the point.

Well I wouldn't compare our situation to Butler's/Stevens. He was assistant who took over and I don't know what kind of contract he got then but my guess nothing like Geno coming into BU....so I understand that one.
When and if we do so well that other teams coming sniffing around the administration will have a decision to make in keeping Geno.

But really these two situations aren't comparable IMO

Brad's cupboard was already full when he took over there. The only question was how he would be able to restock that cupboard in a couple of years. Would Butler continue to be a high level national power, or would Brad turn into another Chris Lowery. I think we know the answer to that question now, but there is no doubt he did deserve at least a raise after two seasons. Then the long term "we'll pay you whatever you want so you don't run to a BCS school" contract would come a couple of years after that.
