Looks like Holtmann has the best chance to make it through the weekend out of the names mentioned in the coaching search. I know he has the highest seed but I don’t see Kentucky losing to Dayton or Wichita or VCU beating Arizona.
Yes, Rhode Island looked very solid today. Led for every bit I watched and responded well to a few runs by VCU toward the end of the game.
MrPlywood,
I don’t think he was spilling any beans, all he said was “that guy in wilmington is doing well.” I don’t think that means anything other than he likes Keatts as a legitimate option. Nothing more than that.
Adventuroo,
Yes, quite the personable fellow. Although I did feel a little silly candidly discussing the coaching search once I realized who he was.
Longtime lurker here, but figured I’d add my experience from this week to the mix for whatever it is worth. I live in Brooklyn and on Tuesday had a photoshoot cancel (yea i know, was a civil engineer for 10 years but I take pics now for a living) so I looked into tickets on stubhub and they were only $6 (plus a $7 fee) so decided to go to the game last minute. Took an uber pool to the game and on the way we pulled up to a hotel a couple blocks from my apartment where two older gentlemen wearing State gear joined me in the car. I started making small talk about how disappointing the season was and they were in agreement. So then I asked them who they thought we would hire to replace Gott. Guy sitting next to me says, “that guy down in Wilmington is pretty good.” I asked about Marshall to which he said, “he sure gets paid a lot where he is.” And then I mentioned that Ohio State had just said they were keeping Matta and how that might help with Archie, to which the guy seemed indifferent.
At this point I asked what they did for a living and when he said he was a retired hog farmer I had a hunch that his name might be on my diploma and it turns out my hunch was correct.
