BTW-- If you put them in a Massey Ratings matchup with SDSU (and I realize cross division matchups are always suspect), they win 70% of matchups at a neutral court. Average score 79-73. Not overly athletic compared to Memphis or even SDSU (I only saw Memphis, Omaha and WIU this year), but extremely well coached. Spend about fifteen minutes during warmups without taking a shot-just running complex weaves. Saw St. Cloud State do that in the late fifties at Huron College and they won a holiday tournament with hideously low scoring games, like 1935 low scoring. This is not that retro. Their earlier teams were built around Justin Pitts who was a sawed off little guard, like Brandon Key but a lot better. Anyway-- doubt if he'd make any short list and doubt if he can d1 recruit, but he can coach and getting to the elite eight undefeated is pretty good, even for D2.
And it's easier to get someone making $130K (estimate, don't know) happy with $375K than someone making $1.4 million.
