Coach Bill Lewis

Man that is too young. The Associated Press has confirmed that iconic musician Prince has died at his Paisley Park studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota. Sad day!

Looks like Tech is copying what North Texas University did with their hire. As a Lady Techster from 1998-2002 she served as a two-year captain and starting point guard as a junior and senior, while leading the Lady Techsters to an impressive 119-16 mark under legendary coach Leon Barmore. She was instrumental in leading Louisiana Tech to four NCAA Championship appearances, including the Final Four in 1999 and two more Elite Eight appearances. As a coach Stoehr began her career at Arkansas-Little Rock before returning to Tech coaching under Chris Long. Following her time in Ruston, she went to Southern Mississippi then to Texas Tech before landing her first head coaching job at Northwestern State. During her time at Northwestern State, she turned a program around that won just two conference games before her arrival. In her first season (2012-13) they doubled their win total from the year before and qualified for the Southland Conference Tournament. The second year was even better as Northwestern State won the Southland Conference Tournament and their first 20-win season in 10 years. The next two seasons were more of the same as Northwestern State won the conference tournament both years. Louisiana Tech is expected to hold a press conference Tuesday to announce the hiring of Brooke Stoehr as head coach of the Lady Techsters. https://latech.n.rivals.com/news/sources...-techsters

Jon Rothstein ‏@JonRothstein 13m13 minutes ago Memphis and UAB will begin a home-and-home series at FedEx Forum on December 10th, source told @CBSSports. Return game at UAB in 17-18.

No new bowls will be certified until 2019. http://espn.go.com/college-football/stor...bowl-games Not great news for eastern CUSA fans who were hoping to have another bowl option in the Southeast, since Myrtle Beach and Charleston were pursuing certification for this season, but at the same time nothing's preventing them from getting an existing bowl to move there, I guess.

UTEP is have at least one player transfer. Christian Romine, who only played in 14 games this season has asked for and been granted his release. In addition there are rumors that Omega Harris is again having academic problems. He missed the first semester this past season because of academic issues. The rumor is that Floyd is going to kick him off the team (IMO this is what should be done). There is also a rumor that Lee Moore is looking at going to Europe to play. At least one of those rumors seems to be true because UTEP is hosting Katin Reinhart who is a senior transfer from USC. ESPN ranks Reinhart as the #5 available transfer this year. Reinhart is also considering Marquette, Alabama, VCU, Uconn, Xavier, Providence, and Texas. UTEP is also looking at UCF transfer Matt Williams. Williams was UCF's best three point shooter this past season making 55. Williams is also considering Wake Forest, George Washington, Rider, and Miami. As a long time UTEP fan I am getting tired of the revolving door that our basketball program has become.

Article in DNJ speculates Kermit Davis to Memphis. http://on.dnj.com/1S1HG4a via @dnj_com

UAB has hired assistant Robert Ehsan, sources told ESPN.

I hate the term mid-major... The 'March Madness' path still maddening for mid-majors ...If there’s any coach in the country who could relate to the disappointment Monmouth felt on Selection Sunday, it’s Kermit Davis at Middle Tennessee. Davis and the Blue Raiders became one of the stars of this year’s NCAA Tournament after busting America’s collective bracket by upsetting highly regarded two seed Michigan State. But it was only four years ago that Middle Tennessee was Monmouth; sitting on the outside of the NCAA Tournament in 2012 despite 27 wins, the best record in the Sun Belt and wins over UCLA, Ole Miss and tournament participant Belmont. The Blue Raiders won 28 games, beat SEC Tournament champion Vanderbilt and Ole Miss again the next season, but were one of the last four teams in the NCAA Tournament after being upset again in the Sun Belt Tournament. “Our nonconference schedule was so good that year, but even then we had no margin for error,” Davis said. “The whole thing is you’ve got to win games and schedule smart for the selection committee to even consider you. “That’s hard for mid-major coaches to do who are trying to progress their programs and keep their jobs.” .....

UTSA to name OU assistant as new head basketball coach, reports say Quote:AN ANTONIO - UTSA is expected to hire University of Oklahoma assistant basketball coach Steve Henson as the new head coach of the Roadrunners, according to multiple reports. The move, which has been reported by ESPN Basketball Insider Jeff Goodman and "Oklahoman" reporter Ryan Aber, comes after the firing of previous head coach Brooks Thompson earlier this month. Thompson spent 10 seasons at UTSA and compiled an overall record of 133-178. His firing comes on the heels of a 5-27 season. http://www.ksat.com/sports/utsa-to-name-...eports-say

Jeeze another CUSA program under an investigation... http://www.dnj.com/story/sports/college/.../82221886/

Details coming soon. From what I'm hearing, we are back to being involved with ESPN. I just hope we're not on the hook for a bunch of Mid-Week football games.

If their coach isn't coach of the year, he got screwed. 30-4 now with some impressive wins. The comeback win over Purdue today was awesome. Love the underdog upsets.

Congrats to both teams for getting to the Championship game. Should be a great game. Best of luck to both teams.
