(Chicago, IL) – United Center is cool. As you would imagine the seats inside are Blackhawk & Bulls red and black. The security people around the building are very helpful to this lost St. Louisian, and the wind, well it’s windy! I practically got knocked down walking from the parking lot to the entrance. But I’m inside!
Iowa State is first up on the court and then they’ll head to the interview spaces. We’ll have comments from former Murray State Head Coach Steve Prohm up on the site soon. He obviously isn’t under any huge pressure in this bigger stage. While practice is going on, he’s carrying around a child.
Virginia is second on the interview schedule. While that is going on, I’ll be looking for former Saint Louis University Head Coach and current Cavalier assistant Brad Soderberg. I’m looking forward to catching up with one of the genuinely good guys in the sport.
Gonzaga, the only team from outside the power conferences will be a part of the process today. So we’ll try to find out how Mark Few keeps the program humming.
Syracuse is the final team. Suspensions aside, they are a dangerous team in this tournament. We’ll keep you up to date on all the happenings in Chicago!

Since 2000, Missouri State's football team is 101-164. They've accumulated 5 winning seasons, with ONE being better than 6-5. They've accumulated SEVEN seasons of at least 8 losses. Not knocking them for struggling, but to move up for THAT sport has to come with some very good $
