White lost to a bunch of teams “they were better than.”
Murrell visits iowa...immediately commits to Stanford. Lulz.
when you look at it Fran landed White in his 2nd year, the 11 prior years before Fran took over went like this
SA took over for a coach that had just taken his team to the sweet 16 losing to eventual National ChampIon UCONN.
in SA 8 season he had just 3 .500 season in BT play
3 NCAAT with just 1 win
3 NIT
SA best season was a 25 win season in which he got a 3 seed in the NCAAT then lost in the 1st rnd to a 14 seed
there was the Pierce fiasco where he gave him a 2nd chance after a sexual assualt charge was lowered to a simple assault.
the fan base was not happy and stopped going to games
then AD Barta hired the years COY Lickliter the next 3 years went from a dumpster fire to a nuclear meltdown
the fans attendance dropped to between 5000 and maybe 6000 at best
Lick seasons went like this 5-13, 6-12 and 4-14
he ran off players on a yearly basis. in his 1st year he ran off PG Tony Freeman right after he led the team in scoring @13.8 ppg, telling him he can stay and sit on the bench or he can leave BECAUSE he didn't fit the system
he also ran off a 5* 7'0 Center who committed to SA but when SA left he told reporters that he committed to Iowa and not the coach, his scholarship was piled BECAUSE he did not fit Lick's system whatever hell that system was,
after he was fired Fran took over a nuclear waste land that had to be bulldozed down and rebuilt
