Barone of course was a Bradley assistant for 7 years until Creighton hired him to rebuild their program. He went on to be a Memphis Grizzlies assistant (reuniting with Versace) and served as interim head coach after Fratello was fired in 2006.

indeed - he was a huge part of Bradley's resurgence in the 1980's

and Tony really doesn't have much at all as a connection to Loyola - simply that he was the college head coach for Porter Moser and also - just happened to be the college head coach of Loyola's opponent, Winona State's head coach Todd Eisner
..but I am pleased that the Loyola people gave Tony such a nice ceremony.
btw- their attendance last night for a very early exhibition game was 2,882...
which doesn't sound massive - BUT - it's more than all but THREE of their games last year and in some prior years that would have been their largest crowd!

Horizon League's 4th preseason team - Oakland
played a preseason exhibition game against Hillsdale...
Hillsdale is a small private DII school from Hillsdale MI

the game was really close the whole way - within 2 points all the way 'til the final minute...
when Oakland hit a 3-pointer with 36 seconds left to give them a 5-point lead -
Hillsdale then had to try fouling and ended up losing 67-61...

Barone has been battling lung cancer so I sense he may not be doing well if Loyola felt compelled to honor him now rather than during the regular season. I grew up watching Versace/Barone teams and wish the family well during this difficult time.
