rocketman Posted March 16 Author Posted March 16 Although it's not likely , could Texas go big enough to hire Jay Wright if he wanted to come? Quote
Longhorngreg Posted March 16 Posted March 16 While Jay Wright may not have a buyout he will come with a huge price tag likely in the $10 million per season range plus a HUGE NIL commitment. Quote

Expand Before the tournament expanded beyond 64 teams, so no play in game. That LSU team came to Austin and beat Weltlich's best team here by 9.

Those 9 wins included wins at Arizona, at ISU, and neutral against ISU as well as a 34 point beatdown of Kansas. Quote
bierce Posted March 17 Posted March 17 But back to the buyout issue, rising assistants and brilliant mid-major coaches don't have big buyouts. Quote

Expand You're right. I'm wrong. I saw the game being played on Thursday and assumed it was a round one instead of a playoff game. Odd that they had second round games on Monay that year. Quote
